I’m having way too much fun. Must be the lousy weather. And a bit of boredom.
I like @Its_me_Stella for us folks doing abstinence.

I like yours for people futilely trying to manage their addiction.

Can you take your MOIST fun over to the stupid polls thread. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: and we can put it to a vote.

That ought to kill the rest of your day :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Great idea. I’m grateful for fun and laughter. Life would be too dull without it. That thread will definitely make the most mature and well thought out choice. :rofl: I will make this poll.

Edit: Done.

I’m so sorry @anon68572606, your gratitude list is a big deal being grateful for all the wonderful things, big strongs to you and your family today.

I’m changing what I was going to write, today I’m grateful that you reminded me to look at all the wonderful things even when times seem dark, dark times are just a small part of much bigger, brighter picture, thank you will carry this with me going forward.

Grateful for peace despite enhanced weather watches,
understanding and facing my fears better,
sticking to my cleaner eating and enjoying the challenge,
realizing more and more what my sobriety can give me,
for hitting a new milestone, 50 days, once again but it’s clearer and different this time. :eight_spoked_asterisk:

I am still grateful for gorgonzola.
I am grateful my friends operation went well.
I am grateful to have the house to myself for three days.
I am grateful for lazy evenings drinking tea, cuddling the dog and watching TV.

I am grateful for @anon68572606 's post about forgiveness, having peace, life and what’s most important to us.

Good morning my friends! I’m grateful for another good sober weekend! I’m grateful my dog nephew got to come over and play with his cousins for his birthday yesterday! I’m grateful I had a relatively balanced weekend-- I got chores done and all the xmas stuff down and also played a lot of Zelda. I’m glad I tried a new sourdough recipe and I think I like this one about better than the one I’d been using. I split the dough into two small loaves to do a side by side baking technique comparison, but I then gave one of the loaves to my brother so I’m not actually sure how it turned out on the inside, lol. It looked good on the outside though! I’m grateful on this morning bus ride to be struck again by how amazing it is to think of all these people with their own whole lives, wants, feelings, good things and bad things, probably trying to do their best, just like me but different. A whole world full of people. What a weird place.

Good morning! I’m grateful to have found this community. I’m grateful to no longer be experiencing any food insecurity and that I know that I’ll be able to eat 3 meals today. I’m grateful for a job with flexible hours that allows me to make time for my healing and for school. I’m glad to be able to return to school at 27. And of course, I’m grateful for another day sober.

Gratitude’s to start off my Monday morning

I am so grateful for some sleep - not the amount i would have liked but enough to keep me going forward
I am so grateful that I did treat myself to some gf pancakes last night - i know i used a mix with almond flour and tapioca starch (haven’t had processed foods in a while) but really had a bad craving. Grateful that i was able to enjoy them with some pomegranate juice and no syrup. Way better than the dandelion and bok choy stir fry i was planning
I am so grateful that the little bit of snow that fell yesterday is already melted. I know this lovely sensation will not last. We will finally be seeing winter weather this week - sending warm comfort to all of you — stay warm and safe during these cold stormy months.
I am so grateful that i started my day with a cup of coffee today - i needed a pick me up before i head over to my mom’s to start my cleanse.
I am so grateful for my family. Grateful for their support and love.
I am so grateful for all the activity on the home thread :heart: Love reading all the gratitude’s - so much to be thankful for!
I am so grateful for my practices of prayer / meditation. Grateful for finding calmness within. Grateful for full body scans and deep breathing when my anxiety gets going.
I am so grateful for THIS community - grateful for all you beautiful souls. Grateful that we are all here helping each other to have a better addiction free day :hugs:
I am so grateful that i live so close to a variety of grocery stores. Grateful for the simple conveniences in life. Grateful that at my brother’s and parents condo’s the community is responsible for snow removal.
I am so grateful that we have had a very mild start to the winter. Grateful that spring is not too far away. Grateful that the days are getting longer (More sunlight is always a blessing).
I am so grateful for cozy hoodies. Love having so many options to choose from.
I am so grateful that i finally did book my mammogram on Friday - will be going this afternoon (surprised that they got me in so quickly).
I am so grateful that i am full of gratitude and love!
I am so grateful to have @Mauvaisminou here on the gratitude thread with us - returning to school is awesome friend - never too late and learning is an ongoing life process. Wishing you all the luck in your new adventure.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:
