Congratulations on 6 months @Mischa84! I’m grateful you survived the family visit without having to pick up a drink.
I’m grateful @Twizzlers did not follow through with the alcohol purchase. I’m grateful you came here to confess. Remember… it’s easier to stay sober than it is to get sober.
I’m grateful my daughter’s birthday celebration went off without a hitch. I’m grateful she chose a dinner place that was simple and fairly close to home. I’m grateful our waitress was a friend’s daughter, and she gave us top notch service (totally unplanned, didn’t even know she worked there). I’m grateful she made my baby girl a special mocktail to celebrate. I’m grateful one family member that drinks heavily did not indulge even though I gave her the go ahead. I’m grateful for my patience when my daughter had a breakdown after cake, just before leaving the restaurant. I’m grateful I handled the situation with grace and dignity and didn’t care what other people thought. That’s huge progress…normally I would be mortified walking out with my head down.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of my dad’s death. I’m grateful my sobriety will allow me to just feel the sadness as it comes and goes throughout the day.
I’m grateful for the holiday weekend and an extra day off from work to spend quality time with the family.
I’m grateful this year is coming to an end. The first half and last month have been very challenging, but without sobriety I’m sure it would have been much worse.
I’m grateful for each one of you helping to keep me sober today. Thank you!

I’m peeking out from my donut hole. I’ve been in there for a while.
I’m grateful for:
TS and the wonderfully supportive community here.
A certain thread where I can vent and get even more support.
Another sober day.
The Hawaiian teas my niece sent me for Christmas.
My cats.
Long hot showers.
Morning coffee , decaf, but still a ritual I look forward to every day.

Congrats on your amazing milestones @Its_me_Stella and @Mischa84!
Its amazing and strong that you didn’t go through with buying alcohol @Twizzlers! Beautiful to read about the love you have for your son.
My son is 22 and also my favorite person in the universe. He is my biggest supporter in my sobriety, I am so blessed to have him in my life.
I am grateful for @SoberWalker, got a great insight talking to her today.
I am grateful for not being forgotten and being invited for a drink (tea ofc) on new years eve.
I am grateful for yesterday evening. I was feeling quite lonely and restless, but then my son en his gf came home with apple beignets and we had a nice chat together.
I feel a bit weird these days, a little off, but am grateful I don’t have any cravings. I am grateful I can manage these feelings sober.

@Forgive_Yourself Welcome!
Welcome back @Sara.eve
Congrats on your six months @Mischa84
Happy birthday @Nowenbrace !
@Lisa07 Good for you in working with your daughter in a better way than you might have in the past and only worried about your own business. It is genuinely a huge step to not care what people might or might not think about us. I hope you will be able to find some peace as you go through your father’s death day.

@JazzyS thank you! So excited too! Big plans for 2024 to continue building on this year! There’s a new position opening at work that would be promotion I think I have a good shot at, my baseball team has a good shot at a title, and I’m steady work on a book I’ve been wanting to write. I don’t have time for alcohol to slow me down

@mischa84 WAY TO GO with your 6 months of sobriety. YEAH to your visitors are leaving.
@Twizzlers So very proud of you for realizing the harm in purchasing that bottle and that act of having it removed drives your addiction further into the ground. 800 + days is amazing – I know lately it has been hard but you are doing great. Lovely to see you checking in more often and staying connected. A huge hug to your son for having your back and it is huge that he gave his trust back to you on day 1 – such a huge deal! 
Keep it going strong – we got your back here love
@nowenbrace so good to see you checking in Owen! Happy birthday to you – love a sober party – have yourself a blast
@lisa07 sending you hugs and comfort as you celebrate your fathers life tomorrow. Here for you if the emotions become overwhelming. 
@pattycake lovely to see you Patricia
This line wins the day! So lovely to see you thriving in sobriety – excited for your 1 year milestone coming up and love how 2024 will be filled with even more wonderful opportunites.

Gratefulness on a beautiful Saturday morning.
I am so grateful to be up and alive today. I am so grateful that i am functioning (not well ) without that coffee.
I am so grateful for my mom time this morning. Grateful that i was able to let my sis know that i will need to nap before i can see them today.
I am so grateful that i had enough energy to clean up the house this morning.
I am so grateful that i forced myself to do some accounting work last night… a huge amount of anxiety lifted – still a lot to do but feel more comfortable today.
I am so grateful that i woke up to meditate with my Sangha this morning but was not able to focus and had a throbbing headache so did sleep for another hour to feel less like a zombie.
I am so grateful that i that my 2nd cousin got my letter a few days ago and was super excited. Is now sending me a letter LOL. I feel crappy as i have not written the letters to my other cousins - hope to get them done. Did post them letters from my brother so at least they won’t feel left out.
I am so grateful that i finally used my new laptop last night - was a nice touch and lightweight and realized that so much of my search history and log in info was already pre loaded – how the fuck is that a thing?
I am so grateful for New Year’s eve coming up and not having the anxiety of needing to bring in the new year blitzed out of my mind. How was that a way to celebrate? Grateful that sober living and sober celebrations are so much better.
I am so grateful for a warm cozy home. Grateful for my brothers big heart and letting me move in with him when i got sick. Grateful for him being here with me helping in to heal and always making me laugh.
I am so grateful for my TS peeps - grateful that we are all such badasses living our best sober life. It is a struggle sometimes but we are navigating through it like rockstars.
Wishing you a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

I have to be grateful to life, God, and all people that have supported me during my alcoholic life.
I want to share with you an episode of this week: I requested the list of all the purchases I have done in Itunes. Obviously I have bought music, games, books, etc.
What I want to share with you is the fact that I begin to work self help books to give up alcohol in 2015.
I was able to quit (I hope definitely) in 2022. 2023 will be a complete year sober.
I get impressed of how much time passed since I realised I have a problem, and how, knowing I have a problem, i continue drinking.
Thank you for reading. Kind regards and best wishes for 2024. Happy sobriety!
