I am trying to do a better job checking in everyday. Soooo
Ill start of with I am grateful for you all and this thread! I am grateful for my day, and the whirlwind it was. I am grateful I got to spend it with family. I am grateful that I got to find time to cross stitch even thou it was in the car and only for an hr. I am grateful for my quiet evening (where does the time go) and I am grateful for my fellow friends following up with me on donating to families in need. I am grateful that I was able to read a chapter of my book tonight (reading Remarkably bright creatures. Has anyone read it? Im not very far in but so far I enjoy it) I am grateful for my job and look forward to work tom. I am grateful for my health, little ones and my husband.
Lastly I am grateful for my sobriety! ODAAT. Thank you God, I am blessed.

I havn’t read it but I would like to link you to the book thread, may have a look if someone mentioned it there and add 
Any Avid Readers Here? What are you currently reading?
Morning gratitude.
I got lost in reading yesterday evening, went to bed far too late (after midnight), had crappy nightmares and got up at 5 to shoo them. I’m sure one day this nightmares will kill me.
I’m rooting for gratitude to lift my spirit:
I’m grateful for the wonderful farmhouse I’m currently living in. I love it. The possibility that I might loose it breakes my heart. The waiting for the new expertise of market value exhausts me. My nerves are wrecking every day a little bit more. I’m grateful I work every day on letting go. On giving all my feelings and thoughts to God and the universe as it will be as it is supposed to be. I have no control nor influence on the outcome. I’m grateful I’m responsible for myself. I’m grateful I surrender to the fact that I’m powerless over others. I’m grateful I take good care of myself. I’m grateful it helps me to cope with the situation as good as I can. I’m grateful for ODAAT.
I’m grateful for my cats and their love, the fun we have, that the old boy is in good shape and talkative. I’m grateful the youngsters are in good shape and run around the house a lot. They are great company.
I’m grateful that I’m aware I avoid tackling certain tasks. I’m grateful I don’t beat myself up for it. I’m grateful I question why instead. I’m grateful I am able to sit with the urge to do something and to avoid doing it. It’s uncomfortable and I’m grateful I take time to dig behind the anxiety, the feeling of not being capable to do something, the fear to fail, the discomfort of probably needing help and organize it. I’m grateful for many posts from the mental health thread that help me to keep calm and sit with it. Like this one
I’m grateful I am free, live a peaceful life, my health is ok, I have dear friends, reading enriches my life, my spirit is light again on some days. I’m grateful I don’t engage in the concept of hope anymore, it always led to loss, resentment, frustration, disappointment, letdown and hurt. I’m not able to to really differentiate between hope, wish and expectation, never was. They always become blurred and converge. I’m grateful I’m fine with let be, let go and let God.
I’m grateful for all I can do and that it’s ok if all I do today is breath and survive.

Good morning beautiful people of the internet 
I am grateful for sitting down and write my gratitude, even though my mind is occupied with the work appointment I have in half an hour.
I am grateful for only one work thing today, after that I’ll join my mom to the cardiologist and after that Ikea for a bigger desk table top and some cable management stuff. I am grateful I’m not tempted anymore to buy more than I need.
Grateful for doing laundry yesterday so my today’s outfit smells like fabric softener.
I am grateful for being back on a regular diet, no more unhealthy snacking. Still need to focus more on sleep, but that’ll be okay too.
Wish you all a beautiful sober day!

Good morning friends,
I’m grateful I had a great weekend. I’m grateful hopefully that will carry me through the week. I’m grateful for the small preparations I did to make life easier this week. I’m grateful I’m working hard to be open to change and possibilities in my work life. I can also admit that I’m scared of the change, and uneasy because I don’t know if/when if even at all, it will happen. I’m grateful I’m sober so I know I won’t drink to numb the unease. I’m grateful for the homethread and everyone on it♥️

I’m grateful for my wife.
I’m grateful I’m learning how much I take personally, with her especially.
I’m grateful I don’t know how I got here but grateful I can recognize it and work through it.
I’m grateful I have my therapist to talk to about it today.
I’m grateful, not grateful, my little Sunday night Al-Anon meeting was bursting at the seams with 25 + people. Usually it’s 7-10 of us. I enjoy the small group. But grateful people can come and get support and see that they are definitely not alone and this Al-Anon program is not about me. It’s about the family disease of alcoholism and it’s a we program. I’m grateful I recognize this as many times I look forward to sharing on Sunday night because there’s plenty of time. I’m grateful I was humbled and got to be last with only about a minute to share. I’m grateful I got to listen to everyone.
I’m grateful my new home stuff is moving along without any big pot holes in the way. I’m grateful there are only a few minor hiccups that we can take care of. Quite a few actually. But very grateful they are minor.
I’m grateful to be working on a balance of meetings. Still going to them all so far but communicating with wifey about them and not planning our week around them but if there isn’t anything going on then I’m going to my meetings. I’m grateful there will be plenty going on soon enough and I’ll be jonesing for a meeting.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful for phone calls with friends.
I’m grateful for oatmeal.
I’m grateful to be able to cook dinners in.
I’m grateful I get to go out for dinner too much.
I’m grateful for season 12 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. 
I’m grateful I get most of my news from the late night talk show guys on my DVR.
I’m grateful for the meme thread.
I’m grateful I get to have coffee with meme buddies this way. It would be more fun IRL. But, grateful to be able to have coffee this way if that’s all we can do. I’m grateful for the comfort it gives me.
Grateful for my Guatemalan Italian Roast beans that I mixed this morning.
Grateful for this thread especially.
Life is like a Camera Focus on What is important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don’t work out, take another shot..

I am grateful for that amazing weekend I had. Grateful to be healthy enough again to be back at the gym. Grateful for a long long walk in beautiful (cold) weather yesterday. Grateful for eating out, so I didn’t have to cook.

@MrFantastik wow you must’ve built up some skills and fitness over time. I’m training in Muay Thai and may add boxing when my fitness improves. It’s been 14 years since I’ve trained, as alcohol took precedence in my life. I spent a whole sparring season doing my best impression of a punching and kicking bag🤣 today I hurt so good!

Grateful I trained through the drinking pretty well, some morning’s I must have looked pretty rough haha the drinking vs training ratio definitely got worse the last few years
the last 6months-1year I injured my foot and couldn’t train kickboxing then there was nothing stopping the drinking. Took a few months off training then got back into boxing, just before I quit drinking. Now im back, sober and training 2-4times a week.

Kudos to you for sticking to training while drinking. What happened with your foot?

Unrelated to kickboxing. Plantar fasciitis, meant I couldn’t train barefooted. Went into a hole of self pity. Realised I needed to pull myself out regardless of the injury. Got some boxing shoes and away I went. Realised I really needed to quit booze if I was going to get fully out.

Plantar fasciitis is no joke. Definitely not helpful with barefoot training. I went down a drinking spiral when I had it too. Glad I’ve given myself an uppercut to get my head out of pity mode. What’s the transition to boxing been like?
