Iām grateful I usually get a good nights sleep. I donāt know what the hell that was last night 
Iām grateful I donāt usually have bad nightmarish restaurant dreams like I use to. Iām grateful they werenāt so bad last night.
Iām grateful for my black coffee with nothing in it but water 
of the time. 
Iām grateful the black coffee, without anything in it 
and my ice pack did itās thing this morning.
Iām grateful for my chiropractor appointment yesterday.
Iām grateful wifey has her liver ultrasound today. I think 
Iām grateful I would usually drive her and go with, but I told her I wanted to go to my meeting. Of course she said ok. Grateful. It was a big deal for me.
Iām grateful for another decision I made regarding vaccines yesterday. Iām getting them. But not all at the same time as wifey to make it easier. Iām grateful I changed my mind because I want to space mine out. Another small but big thing for me.
Iām grateful Martha Stewartās dinner came out great last night.
Iām grateful we got Alice a full tank.
Iām grateful after my meeting I can get a lot of errands done and meet wifey for lunch after her ultrasound.
Iām grateful weāre both sober. Currently. Today. And I know I will probably be sober tomorrow.
Grateful for all you guys here.

Thank you Billy, this is pure gold 
Iām still working on forgiveness and detachment, itās a long process and I often get stuck. And I do indeed look forward to the day Iām fully at peace with this part of my life, no emotional echoes, no looking back, nothing to arrange anymore, living undisturbed in the present Iām grateful I have faith the day will come when I put the work in taking good care of myself and doing babysteps towards equanimity , letting go and trusting the universe that everything will fall into place What will be will be.
Holy Molly, Iām again too tired to catch up.

Today Iām grateful for a productive, busy day. Up early to get my bloodwork done. Iām so grateful for the lovely doctors at the laboratory (is that the correct word for the institution where they draw your blood and do all the analysis?). I didnāt feel the needle, I donāt have a mark, I did not faint (happens rarely) and I didnāt even have to wait long! Angsty as I always am this was a good visit (like always there).
Iām grateful a friend rescheduled our meeting to next week. It gave me time to pack another carload of stuff (yeah, lots of cat things) and bring it to the farm.
Iām grateful I cancelled an invitation to a birthday get together at lunchtime. I did not feel like socializing with people I hardly know. My heart wanted home to the farm and the cats, I was already a bit tired from packing the car and yummi fresh vegetables waited to be stored / cooked (went to the local farmer on my way). Everything became ridiculous expensive. Iām grateful Iām done food shopping for the rest of the months. Only fresh bread and milk when needed.
Iām grateful for texting back and forth with the nice man I met last month. It feels comfortable.
Iām grateful for cat shenenigans. They enjoy living in this beautiful, big, cozy house like me We had so much fun whilst cooking. Iām grateful I cook for myself and I love to do it. I loved to cook for my ex too. It made me sad when he came home drunk and didnāt eat what he told me in the morning he would like me to cook (I get tired when Iām always the one to decide whatās on the table so I was really happy when he suggested a dish). Iām grateful Iām not disappointed anymore. Me is always a reliable, happy person eating my own homecooked stuff 
Iām grateful for the weather. A little sunshine, a little rain, mostly overcast, some thunder far away. Iām grateful I have a roofed balcony here so I can sit outside when it rains.
Iām grateful for this cozy place and that I am present, not thinking about possible future szenarios. Today Iām happy to be where I am with my blessings, boundaries, flaws, faith and kindness ODAAT

I am so grateful for not having a hangover and the fog seems to have lifted too.
I am so grateful that I did get the house cleaned yesterday and organized all the festival equipment and got that all stored away.
I am so grateful that i was able to make a lovely batch of sugar free - gf and vegan chocolate chip cookies that are so fucking good. I am thinking of trying to expand my refined sugar free line for the copackers
I am so grateful that my brother picked up a bunch of horror movies from the library. Will have something fun to watch while i attempt accounting later today.
I am so grateful for my family - love these beautiful humans to pieces. They have always been by my side but for these past 2 years they have outdone themselves. So much love and gratitude for them.

Iām grateful for modern technology, especially when itās used for good. Grateful I can do my readings and devotionals and gratitude and possibly a meme or 2 
at the Toyota Dealership, on their internet connection, as I wait on my car maintenance.
Iām grateful the Toyota service centers Iāve dealt with all seem to have their shit together.
Iām grateful for the early morning walks with Benson. Iām grateful theyāre not quite as early. Iām grateful itās a tad cooler. Not hoodie weather cooler. But still cooler. Iām grateful for the cute bobcat I saw in a tree on my walk. Iām grateful I looked at the person on their bike on the side of the road yesterday and saw them escorting a huge tortoise to safety into the desert. Iāve never seen such a large turtle in the wild. Iām grateful I didnāt try to take a pic as I was going down the road at 60 mph. I do wish I could have stopped for a look though.
Grateful for my love of all animals. Well, most animals. Definitely not snakes. Scorpions can fuck right off too.
Iām grateful wifey is concerned about her health and taking care of her business. Iām grateful she said she doesnāt plan on letting herself go like that again. Iām grateful I will take her words at face value.
Iām grateful for my recoveries and that Iām learning not to react. Or overreact. Learning to pause. Learning to pause even a couple of days if necessary. And itās not been too bad doing that. Grateful, also, that I donāt get so worked up about things so easily and quickly. Grateful for this peace and calmness in my life. Iām grateful I realize some of it is coming from having a sober wife. Iām grateful I get to enjoy that today.
Iām grateful and excited to get to talk to my Cali real estate agent this afternoon. I hope this new life adventure goes at a calm peaceful pace from my end.
Iām grateful to have read about optimism and hope. It is also like our gratitude muscles and need practice daily.
Grateful for yāall.

Iām grateful for our vegetable garden, still going strong. All the lovely organic food it provides is well worth the effort, though sometimes I get irritated by some of that work.

Iām grateful for the adventurous cook that my husband is.

Today Iām grateful I took time to catch up here. So many sharings, so much that echoed in me
Iām gratefulI went over old posts. Didnāt know where I was going with this. Turned out I was seeking compassion for old me and all the ups and downs of the last years. I was way over my energy limit and still tried to make everything work out. I was so happy when my husband didnāt drink. I got more and more devasted emotionally over the fact that this happened increasingly often (the drinking and being mean). Itās a pitty. Itās ok that I couldnāt bear drunk him anymore. Love was not enough. Thatās ok. He still doesnāt understand his part and responsibility to the development. I worked today to let that go and find some peace, being grateful where I am now. It was a painful, rocky, hard way. My way. Iām grateful for MY way at my pace with my priorities Iām grateful I donāt care much about what heās doing or thinking anymore. Iām grateful working on myself today did not make me cry. Babysteps.
Iām grateful I had a lazy day, reading a lot, playing with the cats and grooming them (itās autumn, they shed).
Iām grateful a friend called, she was very sad and felt better after the talk. Iām grateful for my dear friends
Iām grateful for this lovely, cozy, big house that we enjoy so much. Every day here is a gift.
Iām grateful I mounted my emotional support poster today. It helps me so much to stay present, focused and kind
Iām grateful the sun came out later in the afternoon so I caught some sunshine on the deck reading the new book I bought.
Iām grateful Iām tired, my cozy bed is waiting for me and the cats will join me there. I woke up with the old boy sleeping on my belly today!
Iām grateful for ODAAT

Five days sober come midnight tonight. Grateful I feel that persistence and belief inside. Itās kind of different to when itās half hearted.
Grateful for having money to buy food, have made a lovely vegetable lasagne tonight from 7 different veggies and I feel great for doing it. It was therapy and kindness to myself.
Grateful for my home and the comforts inside
Grateful I can sneak off to bed at about 9.30 pm tonight with a sleepy tea and my Kindle novel.
Grateful for you all and for my sobriety.
Itās not a loss to not drink, itās a complete gain. Grateful to have my positivity restored.
