Good grateful sober morning my favorite peeps. I’m grateful today is the day my counter says 4Y 00M 00D
4 Fucken Years Sober AFAF!
Ya I am!
I’m grateful for this gratitude practice that I started 4 years ago. I’ve mentioned it before, but ; I knew a guy with 20 plus years. He said said he still does a gratitude list every day and always practices gratitude. He always seemed so calm and serene, and you know, I wanted what he has.
I feel like I been missing out here the last few days. But I have been checking in an and reading and trying to get caught up. And I’m grateful The Gratitude has not left my soul for even a minute.
I’m so so very grateful to have this thread every day at my disposal to come on here with some of my best friends. You all mean so much to me and have had a HUGE part getting me through my 4 years AFAF. I seriously don’t think I would have made it this far without you all on this beautiful journey.
I’m grateful some days you all let me spill my guts out to you all in my gratitude.
I just cannot believe I got 4 years. Thanks to all you Gratidudes, this TS forum, meditation, my knowledge of addiction and very importantly there is no fucken way I can have just one. I’ve never in my life have had “just one.” If I don’t have that first drink, the most important one, I’m still sober.
I’m grateful and so blessed to live in the desert.
I’m grateful for every desert sunrise and every desert sunset.
I’m grateful for every time a cat comes up to me and purrs and lets it pet me or cuddles with me. I’m grateful for my little Burner. Ya I am. I’m grateful Benson is my little Sancho. I love seeing him all the time. (Tiny back story. I never wanted Benson. I was in Boston when wifey brought him home I was so pissed off for a long long time. Years.) sorry. Anyway….
I’m so grateful for my wife and soul mate. Many of you know our struggles. I’m grateful for y’all listening about that. She’s still drinking off and on but is only having a max of 2 glasses of wine now on some nights when we go out. I’m grateful I can support her through that. It’s hard sometimes. And what she is doing is not working. I’m grateful it’s better than it was. I’m grateful for my constant living reminder that abstinence is the only way to go. I’m grateful we no longer have booze in the house. I’m grateful for Al-Anon.
I’m grateful for my Ember coffee cup and my coffee is still hot 45 minutes later. I’m grateful I brew myself one glorious cup of coffee to start my day.
I’m grateful I’m not drinking today. And you know I’m probably not drinking tomorrow. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

You will simply not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion and ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given to you.
