Progress on my weightloss journey
Smallerclothes are fitting!
Cleaned out 1 closet!

Sunshine
Sobriety friendships
AA
Love

I’m grateful for all the posts I read on this thread. I’m grateful for each and every one of you and your different styles of expressing gratitude. Your contributions are all very inspirational.
I’m grateful for the creativity of words this group of gratidudes and gratidudettes have to offer. My latest favorite is soberonies. Thank you for that one @Cjp.
I’m grateful for an unusually warm day here in the northeastern USA even though it’s raining (55f or 12c). If only all the winter days were this warm, I’d be in my glory.
I’m grateful I survived another work holiday party. I’m grateful I used my tools when the addict mind tried taking over. I’m grateful I left when I did and didn’t take part in the shit show that ensued at the after party. I’m grateful the scolding email sent out by management the next day was not geared towards me or my actions. I’m grateful I can walk in that office with my head held high. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as others return this week.
I’m grateful for my ladies AA meeting Saturday nights followed by dinner. I’ll take a night out being surrounded by a bunch of sober women, laughing and having a good time, over a drunk work event any day. I honestly couldn’t say that a few years ago.
I’m grateful I agreed to be a speaker last minute at this past Friday nights AA meeting. I’m more grateful the person with the key to the hall didn’t show up and it was cancelled. It was suggested we hold the meeting in the parking lot but it was too cold. I’m grateful I got off easy this time but I have a feeling I’ll be asked to speak at the next one.
I’m grateful 4th quarter is coming to an end and we can breathe again. I’m still in a super fast pace work mode and finding it a challenge to slow down and work less hours, but it will come.
I’m grateful some shares can save lives.
I’m grateful I didn’t fall “tits up,” today. I’m grateful as I was walking and slipping a bit I got to think of my poor friend with the bashed up ankle, a lot, as I walked gingerly around the slick streets on London in the rain. Holy shit it’s dangerous out here. I’m grateful if I did fall I wouldn’t have fallen far as all 8 million people were out and about tonight looking at lights. I’m grateful I’ve never seen London this crowded. And on a Sunday night.
I hope your ankle is on the mend and you are up and about. Your dinner looked excellent on the foodies thread.
Thank you for your share it save my clumsy ass. Yes. I am clumsy.
Im grateful for my intuition
Im grateful to be out of work early
Im grateful to have a safe, loving home to go to
Im grateful for a new week beginning tmrw
Im grateful for deep breathing
Im grateful
Early monday morning gratitude.
I’m grateful I had a safe and smooth drive yesterday. I’m grateful I had zero stress before leaving The old boy slept on me all night yesterday and I already miss him.
I’m grateful I can handle the far too hot room, the heating control must be broken. I already claimed it yesterday and will claim fixing again today. I don’t want to get sick because I always have to have a window open.
I’m grateful I have bad bad memories on a similar situation many years ago on a vaccation with my ex. We left after I horrible night and I was sick for a month. I’m grateful I can handle such difficulties way better now without stressing me
I’m grateful for this lovely place where I stay this week. Every year I’m happy to come here and enjoy the fast and the nice fellow people fasting.
Now it’s time to shower, morning meditation and walk are on the schedule in an hour
Enjoy you time. I’m grateful I think I remember you going last year and you really needed it. I hope you have the best time. I can’t believe it’s been a year.
Much peace and love to you.
I’m grateful for this quiet monday morning, gang is still sleeping, thanks god.
I’m grateful for ours beautiful child-and-cat-proof christman tree. For now we have only lights on it and I think we will keep it that way, it looks super nice. Last year it was one big disaster with balls. All 4 little creatures couldn’t stand them just hanging there, all shiny and stuff.
I’m grateful boys want to make some ornaments themselves. Creative, I like that. Tree gonna look even nicer.
Im grateful for my first morning coffee all alone, I missed it.
I’m grateful I ran 17,5km yesterday! That’s the longest distance I even run. In my twenties I was running 12, sometimes 15, but it was hundreds years ago. I’m grateful for my body, that it’s not disappointing me health-wise, and, yeah I’m gonna say that - I’m proud of myself. Half marathon in 2024, here I come!
I’m grateful I have a time to sit peacefully, have my coffee and make morning gratitudes while the rest still sleeping. Did I already say that? Well, I’m really grateful for that cause it didn’t happen for too long
Have a good day friends, big hugs!
Good morning, grati-friends. Sitting here with my morning coffee as well @Mischa84 and enjoying the morning calm. It is a good start into the day, isn’t it?
I am grateful for my family and the nice afternoon we spent yesterday. It’t been a long time since I invited someone into my home for coffee and dinner. It’s a rather tiny appartment so there isn’t much space to move when there are more than two people here. But we had such a good time playing some board games and goofing around.
I am grateful my little brother (still) thinks I am cool , trying to hold onto that rockstar status for as long as I can.
I am grateful I decluttered my home - it calmed my mind as well and I immediately felt more serene. I am grateful for my journey into my life. It feels like I have been absent from it far too long.
I’m grateful to have another day. I’m traveling back to New Mexico with my dogs, stopped in Indiana last night, yesterday was a breeze with no traffic. Dogs snoozing contentedly next to me while I enjoy my morning coffee. When I checked into the hotel last night the woman at the desk had a sweatshirt on that said ‘stronger than addiction.’ We are everywhere and recovery is possible, so grateful for that
Good morning my dudes! I’m grateful for a nice weekend with a puppy playdate, brother visited, super sweet dnd session and everyone liked the gifts I made them, much football and both our teams won (though my team won only barely, it’s still a win). I’m grateful I had a really productive Saturday and I feel like I’m on track for the remainder of my holiday season gift-making. I’m grateful to feel like I might currently, even just for the moment, have my shit together. Hopefully that’s not a jinx
I am grateful we are able to heat our home for the winter. I am not unaware of the economic realities of many around the world at this time, and that this simple, yet powerful, necessity is not easily obtainable for some. I am very impacted by temperature shifts outside of a small range, and in the winter months I am constantly cold, even with the luxury of being able to maintain a ‘comfortable’ room temperature.
@Mischa84 I love this. You have truly ascended to the status of “professional cat guardian”.
Good morning friends,
I’m grateful for podcasts, I know I say it a lot but there is so much information available and I am constantly amazed. I love that I can search for a podcast about any feelings I am having, troubles I’m facing, gardening, recovery, joy…… anything. I’m grateful for long walks. I’m grateful for my health and mobility. I’ve been caught up lately in complaining about my aches and pains, I’m going to work hard to mentally thank my body from now on. I’m grateful I got to spend Saturday with my sister and Niece, and refill my gratitude cup cuz it was low. I’m grateful for all of you ( soberonies is one of my favorite names ) and for this place:heart:

Today I’m grateful for a day full of relaxing treatments, naps and reads. @Dazercat I was here in February this year, you are right. Wanted last december but the week was rescheduled because the construction work was not finished, they had to postpone the reopening. Good memory!
I’m grateful for the pedicure I got, I asked in the morning and yes, one timeslot was available! Now I feel blessed AND pretty
Sending good vibes to you all! ODAAT
I am grateful for the obvious signs that my dad is feeling better; spending time outside, instigating trips to the store,and being ornery to name a few.
I am grateful for the new knowledge I have been gifted that the way I grew up was not healthy, that the way I am treated by my dad is not " normal " and that the way he speaks to my mom is not how someone shows love.
I am grateful for therapy, shadow work, step work, and all of the parts of my psyche that have kept me safe throughout my life. Yes, I am especially grateful for that absolutely wicked part of me that I used to not understand. That part that I used to be ashamed of, hate, berate. I am especially grateful for her because she will kill for me if she had to, I have no doubt.
I am grateful for God, the devince, source, the universe whatever name you use. This extremely strong energy is very obvious in my life.
I am grateful for the lesson I learned that I can still be wounded by my father. I learned that I have grown exponetially in the area of reactivity and being able to remove myself from a situation when i want to attack. I was reminded that no matter how much doubt my dad can fill me with, the Devine energy will always be stronger and light always wins. I was reminded that I have a part to play in this life and his story is just that a fucking story in his lane.
I am grateful that when I am reminded to think of my father as a soul in a skin bag he is nothing more than a bunch of unhealed psychological wounds that lash out constantly. His journey started out terrible and I, unfortunately, am a product of generational trauma like many others.
I am grateful that I get to stop that cycle of pain today.
Grateful to get with Bro’s on Saturday and Sunday. Great association, fun times indeed
Grateful for this morning, i’m not stressed out, i’m not overworked, i’m still here.
Grateful i’m taking out the time for Self Care, focusing on systems to help me cope better when things go south
Grateful i’m learning how to just be me and be present. The past can’t be changed, appreciate what is, let go of things you can’t change.
Grateful for my family
