I meant to write one last night and forgot so here I am bright and early 
Xo.
Happy New Year and thank you for being here one day at a time.
I’m grateful it is early Saturday morning and I woke up to snow! It’s a magical feeling to be out early with the dogs while flakes are falling in the predawn time.
I’m grateful to be sober. Being sober has significantly reduced anxiety in my life. I sleep well, my stomach doesn’t hurt. I don’t get headaches much anymore and I enjoy exercising!
I’m grateful to be sober and therefor have patience and kindness for my students. I even manage patience and kindness for my colleagues! 
I’m grateful to be sober and enjoy my home and my pets and my books. I am not in a constant battle with alcohol about how I will spend my time and energy. I have more money too!
I’m grateful to be sober and to be able to tell people what it has done for me. Talking about the decision and embracing the opportunity to be sober has helped some others in my life to give it a go as well. #normalizesobriety
I’m grateful to be sober and have a bit of energy and love in reserve so I can take on new learning and new responsibilities in my work and in my family.
I’m grateful to be in January with the start to the new year in good mental and physical health due to eliminating alcohol from my life.
I’m grateful for all that I learn from this community. I read here every day and I’m grateful to have such easy access to a caring and committed community of humans.
I wish you the best for a peaceful and happy weekend of truly taking care of yourself.
Good morning sober fam,
Im so very greatful for…

Self reflection and insight into my mind and emotions
Time to chill today, well do laundry and chill
I’m grateful I have a sense of humor because it seems taking Ibuprofen before bed didn’t help me get to sleep any faster, though I was more comfortable. I’ve experienced poor sleep after quitting caffeine before as well, so it’s likely that plus reducing the OTC sleep aid is the prime cause. I’ve also been reducing another nighttime medication, which likely contributes as well.
But I’m grateful for the understanding that eventually my body will find a new homeostasis and sleep will become a more regular thing. I’m grateful that having understanding of the "why"s and "how"s is something I’m able to find comfort in during difficult times. I’m also grateful that I understand nothing lasts forever.
@Naomi I am similar. Sleep is also my #1 focus atm. I’ve been chronically sleep deprived for the last few years as I took care of my aging cat’s medical needs, and I’ve gained a tad bit of weight from eating for energy, which I am now addressing. I’m happy to hear taking paracetamol works for you. I’ve never had much success with it beyond fever reduction, and if I take it over multiple days I get stomach issues. It’s a weird thing. 
@JazzyS I hate pain too. It’s such a pain! 
@Cjp I’m going to pass the name of this website on to a couple people I know who are also motivated by money. Thank you for sharing!
@Dazercat “damp”… “wet”… Different name, same bullshit. We should start a movement to call it “moist January”. Maybe the name itself would urge people not to do it. 
@eph-M-eral You’re right. That sounds strange. Get out. 
Just kidding.
Grateful for your sense of humor friend.
Love this…so true… easier to go through the difficult times when we know the underlying causes. I do hope your body regulates itself quickly. Wishing you some blissful sleep 
I am grateful to be sober and therefore present for my son and his girlfriend who’s staying with us for the holidays. I’m always clear minded, can pick them up by car if needed and I’m just proud for being sober in their presence.
I am grateful for hangover free morning dog walks! I remember the days looking like a zombie and wanting to go back to bed asap.
I am grateful the bill from the bailiff is only 21 euros. It was unpaid toll from my holiday in Italy over three (!) years ago. Toll was 3 euro, 18 euro fine 
I am grateful for fresh bread from the bakery across the street.
This morning I was listening to a YT video where they talked about the feeling of missing out on fun during parties. Some sober folks say that’s BS and we don’t need alcohol to have fun. But I sometimes still miss the feeling of getting tipsy. The guy said he felt that way too, but it’s only a small time frame where the fun is optimal. It’s no more than that, a brief moment.
I once read we only have a 20 minute ‘high’ when we drink, it’s the sweet spot we’re looking for. But after that brief moment we won’t get there again. We either get wasted or feel unforfilled (when we stop or even moderate after that high). I put it to the test when I was trying to moderate and it is definitely true.
I am grateful for this reminder, these are the things I need to stay focussed
He also talked about the awkwardness and insecurity we sometimes feel in a group and that that’s totally normal. We are programmed to be liked by the group (evolutionary). I’ve read it before but to hear it again makes me more secure in my sobriety.
@Chiron Moist January, I like it Or soggy January lol
Thank you so much, you too 
Today I am grateful for:
How wonderful to be grateful for your mom!

I’m grateful I’m getting better at exercising every day. Yes! It’s been like 5 whole days now? Woot!
I’m grateful there are no more cookies or cake in the house.
I’m grateful to be working on letting go and detachment via Al Anon. Compassionate detachment is as tricky as it sounds. grateful there’s another thread here to share more on that bit …
I’m grateful for a decent nights sleep.
Grateful for a life that is beginning to unfold again,
what I need, finds me,
every lesson this journey brings me,
meal planning is nourishing in good ways again,
a day he is off so we can go out into the world together and share our love,
another day to say outloud, I didn’t drink again today! 
Saturday morning gratitude’s
I need to get back into this daily - been a bit of a funk and i am hoping to get over it.
I am grateful to be sitting here watching light white flurries. Grateful it is not a stormy day (which i think we are due for a major storm - they are saying next week). I am so grateful my neighbors offered to do my front sidewalk at the house if it snows so i won’t get dinged by the association.
I am so grateful for my morning veggie cocktail (ginger, cucumber, carrot, beet, red cabbage, celery) love that i can have carrots again (missed them so much LOL).
I am so grateful that i will be able to enjoy a hot cup of coffee soon.
I am so grateful for my HP - grateful to be praying and meditating - grateful that it is keeping me sane at the moment.
I am so grateful for seeing people as they are and not letting toxicity into my life. Grateful for healthy boundaries and sticking to them (even when they are painful emotionally).
I am so grateful to be working on scrubbing the stove today - been a minute since it’s had a proper cleaning - great to take out the aggression

I think it’s all so right
We don’t need to fight
We stand face to face
You present your case
I know you keep telling me that you love me
And I really do wanna believe
Did you think I’d just accept you in blind faith?
Sure babe, , anything to please you!
But you better be good to me
That’s how it’s gotta be now
Oh, I don’t have the time
For your overloaded lines
You better be good to me
Better be good, oh, good to me
I’m grateful I get to change the lyrics in my mind to I better be good to myself
The whole song is about me being good and loving myself
And it’s about fucking time
Grateful today that i’m not sick any more, not hungover on a saturday morning, and able to complete most of my chores and work out by noon!
Also to be able to make several plans for Sunday knowing that i’ll be able to do them and enjoy them.
Grateful to be living fully.
So grateful that you and wifey got to go get your 4 year chip. You did it my friend!! Faced that fear and are stronger today because of it
Love the lyrics of Tina’s song and I too was changing them to that exact line …so grateful that you are taking care of you and being better to yourself 2024 look out 
I am grateful I woke up rested this morning. Before perimenopause started I never understood how one could sleep badly, or not be rested after a night‘s sleep. One more thing learned in life then. Now I am grateful for every night I can sleep through.
I am grateful my shoulder is better and I was able to do my morning movement practice. This always gives me a good start into the day.
I am grateful for my morning meditation. It was emotionally challenging, but really good.
I am grateful I could help out a sick friend.
