This is a special place and enjoying it to the fullest without anything stressing is pure heaven.

I’m grateful for waking up sober today.
I’m grateful I managed a difficult day in a (mostly) calm manner.
I’m grateful I could use some techniques from my sober toolbox to help me do this.
I’m grateful for a child free weekend. I love her more than life itself, but a weekend without teenage attitude will be greatly appreciated.
I’m grateful she is camping with scouts, so will be having fun and learning new skills.
I’m grateful Friday night is now craft night. I will still blast music, I will skank around the room if a tune hits me that way. I will have fun. Sober fun.
I’m grateful I am finding myself again. I am creative, I love music and dancing, I love learning, I love nature,
I love reading.
I. Love. Life.
AFAF ODAAT!!!

So grateful for this too. Bob cat and a large turtle – do love your morning adventures!
@pattycake Grateful that you are healing well and have your hubby to take care of you.
Hope you can see the massive leaps you have made in the past year. Sounds like a lovely day spent in your cozy home with fur babies.
@tailee17 I do hope you feel better after having given your hubby some grace 
Love this for you too Kiki – so important to find ourselves. I think this right here is the greatest gift that sobriety has offered.

Good morning sunshines
I’m grateful that I live in XXI century, that although times are fucked up in many ways, I have washing machine, vacuum cleaner, hot water, medications and of course internet 
I’m grateful lemons are cheap now.
I’m grateful I reached 3 days milestone with cutting sugar intake, it sounds like a small step but it’s big for me, didn’t happen for a long time. Sugar cravings are getting smaller - grateful for that.
I’m grateful my boys are calling me MAMAMAN, they are now obsessed with superheroes and it means I’m also superhero for them 
I’m grateful I’m gonna drink 2nd coffee now, sun is shining, I have no plans for today so we can just go with a flow.
Wish you all good sober day, big hugs

Good morning all! After going to bed early on Friday I am up and ready to embrace this beautiful Saturday!
I’m grateful to be sober and able to share my joy with all of you. I check this app and read a few items every day now for 687 days. Reading all the stories and challenges and victories is inspiring and I am grateful for that!
I’m grateful to be in good health. I’ve been able to eat well and exercise a lot in this last week and it is truly amazing how good I can feel when I take care of myself. The exercise key has been to really do things I enjoy. I enjoy swimming a lot, not just for the exercise, but for the meditative state of controlled breathing and counting strokes. I enjoy riding my bike. And I’m pleased to have bought a new bike last spring that fits me well and let’s me really enjoy the ride instead of worrying about a fall.
I’m grateful to be figuring out some meal preps that help us have good meals but not take up all my time. That’s only taken almost 40 years to figure out. Of course 30 years of hangovers in the morning clearly did not help.
I’m grateful for my husband and our marriage. We are both in marriage #2 and I’m grateful we appreciate each other and pay attention to how things are going. We’ve transitioned from our summer life (practicing retirement) to our school year life, and that is not always easy.
I’m grateful for my work. I’m grateful to have the challenges and the fulfillment. I’m grateful that I earn enough for us to have a reasonably comfortable life. I’m grateful that my husband and I have simple tastes.
I’m grateful to be able to practice some self calming strategies. While I enjoy my work, I am wired to fret that I’m not doing it right. It’s all internal self talk and I keep working in calming that down. I did try to drown it for many years in wine. But that did not work.
I’m grateful for September weekends when the weather is nice. I’m on my front porch now before dawn and the air is cool.
I’m grateful my brother continues on his path and remains sober and active in his recovery. He is gaining strength each day and relies on me a little bit less each week. I’m grateful I could be a support to him.
Im grateful that my siblings and I are committed to supporting each other on these journeys. I’m grateful our father took himself out of the picture 22 years ago. I only wish he had done it sooner. I’m grateful that my siblings and I are understanding that our mother is aging and that going back and expecting her to take any responsibility for what happened to us is just really not going to happen. I’m grateful to have the time and support to work on that acceptance and move away from anger.
I’m grateful my brother has felt so much support in AA. I’m grateful that he has helped me understand some of the features of AA that were not clear or comfortable for me. I’m grateful I bought a copy of the Big Book and am taking my time to read through it.
I’m grateful to be alive and sober and have a safe and loving home and work that I mostly enjoy.
I’m grateful for my ancient chihuahua Mrs Minnie who is curled up next to me this morning.
I wish you all a day of peace and gratitude and even a bit of joy!

A happy Saturday morning to all you beautiful souls!
I am so grateful to be awake and alert this morning. It seems that 7ish is my new time to wake up and I am ok with that. I feel comfortable getting some sleep and not being up too early.
I am so grateful that my GF breads just arrived! OMG they are so cute and small. I do hope they taste good. I really can’t wait to go back to gluten. I am at 3.5 months on this kick and i am over it but unfortunately my body isn’t - need to figure out the source of this inflammation.
I am so grateful that i returned an amazon item yesterday at Kohls and got the 20% voucher to shop. They had all the Halloween kitchen stuff at the door so yeah i couldn’t resist - bought two hand towels.
I am so grateful that tonight it’s game night here and even with the football game in the background we are gonna have a good ol time. I am planning on making some vegan sloppy joe’s (got me a gf bun for mine) and date squares. Grateful that my friend doesn’t really drink so i’ll make some virgin apple cider sangria for us.
I am so grateful for sober time and strength - i am going to do a beer run for tonight and i don’t feel phased by it. Happy that i did have a twinge at the beginning of the season for some fall flavored beverages but now i am not phased by them either.
I am so grateful that i did get my new shoes yesterday to wear indoors. They are comfortable and i got them in Red / black – love the color!
I am so grateful for my family, friends, PT sessions, Mindful body scans, Deep breathing exercises, My yoga bouncy ball (my new chair), Prayer and meditation practices, COFFEE!
I am so grateful for TS family and how welcoming everyone is. Grateful for the no judgement zone and the safe feeling i get when i log on.
I am so grateful that we have a few more cool days in the mid 70’s to enjoy before it goes back up.
I am so grateful that i did see two of the 5 movies my brother brought me. Bodies Bodies Bodies was stupid funny - no horror and The Witches had a great cast but more a kids type scary movie.
I am so grateful for a another day here in this body.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you much love

I’m grateful for another sober day. And for this amazing community that has helped me get this far.
I’m grateful for peace and quiet out in our neck of the woods in Wisconsin.
I’m grateful that I was able to get out and enjoy a walk yesterday afternoon.
Im glad I was able to catch myself before I reacted a couple times yesterday when my husband got crabby😝

I am feeling resentful this morning, I need
to let it go.
I am grateful that my child is verbal, that she can tell me how much she loves me, that I hear the words “I love you mumma.” More than 5 times each day. I am grateful that my child is not in a depression, that there are somedays when I get to see her smile just a little, or hear her laugh online with her friends. I am grateful I am not listening to her sobbing through the walls at night. I am grateful that my child will do things when I ask her, all I need to do is ask and she will always help me out. I am grateful she is thoughtful and considerate and caring. I am grateful that she says she never wants to move out because I guess that means Im doing an ok job at my recovery… I am not a nightmare to live with. I am grateful that I dont have to share my child with either of her “dad’s”, and I am grateful that G is an amazing step in, who she adores.
I am grateful for humility and to have the ability to admit being a single mom in recovery with chronic pain/exhaution, who is homeschooling a disabled child and trying to start a homebased business while in really intense therapy is fucking HARD to do.
I am grateful that I know I am not wonderwoman today and its ok if I get frustrated with my kid. I am grateful that I dont yell anymore and that I have so many tools within reach that can get me through moments of discomfort.
I am grateful for gratitude’s graceful way of changing perspective.

I’m grateful for lovely conversations with my wife in the morning. Even though I been trying to do my gratitude for awhile now. I’m grateful I’m putting her first and enjoying it. I’m grateful I actually love putting my iPad down and listening to her. I’m grateful I don’t know what she’s doing or how she’s getting support and it’s her business not mine. But grateful to want to listen to her when she shares with me. I’m grateful she showed me her tracker. She doesn’t like keeping track of numbers of the days. It’s coffee cups @JazzyS she gets a coffee cup 
every day added to her calendar. How C:coffee:L is that? Instead of seeing a number of days. I’m grateful she has
I’m grateful she has a coach even though she doesn’t think she needs to use her.
I’m grateful to be talking recovery with my wife. Seriously, I been working on this gratitude list for almost an hour now
I’m grateful I told her my heart sinks just a little when I hear her tell me she tells her coach and doctor it’s just for September. I’m grateful I can honestly tell her that’s my problem. The sinking heart. I’m grateful my heart doesn’t sink that much now. I’m grateful she also says “just for today it’s only for September.” She says she doesn’t know what she’s doing after that. I’m grateful it’s her recovery 
I’m grateful I moved outside on the deck to warm up as she keeps it pretty frosty in the house. I’m grateful maybe I can finally finish this up now. I’m grateful we got a nice dinner out, I planned at a nice restaurant we’ve never been to.
I’m grateful for an easy lazy Saturday after the full week of doctors appointments and scans and errands.
Grateful for the 2 little birds that landed on top of my little tree out here to sing to me. Grateful they’re drinking at the pool. I’m grateful the wind is blowing and my swimming pool reminds of lake water hitting the shore.
I’m grateful for the awesome cantaloupe I’ve been eating all week. I’m grateful I been continuing my fresh fruit journey lifestyle.
I’m grateful we had a lovely talk with our Cali agent yesterday. And we all look forward to working with each other again.
Hi @Mischa84 grateful to see your boys pop up above as I was scrolling. They always look so well behaved. So adorable
I’m grateful I get to shop for Halloween baby/toddler onesies and rompers.
I’m grateful 
I’m grateful to share my happiness with y’all.
Thanks @LAB I am having a pretty happy Saturday.
