Yesterday was my last day at the store that started my career with Target! I’m grateful for my store director who invested a lot of time into my growth with the company and had so much faith in me to do this job and to do the position I just got promoted into.
I’m grateful the significant pay increase! Definitely much needed considering where I am in life right now! I’m grateful for 21 days sober! Once I hit my next milestone it will be the longest I have been sober since I had my youngest son almost 5 in a half years ago! That’s crazy to think about! Almost 5 in a half years of pretty much drinking everyday and most of those years drinking a gross amount of whiskey! Thinking back to where I was a year ago when I quit hard liquor and went to drinking wine and seltzers does make me feel good even though I was still drinking everyday. It was the first step in the right direction I just quit once I hit that wall, but I’m proud that I have given sobriety the first real chance in a really long time!!
Good morning sober fam,
Im greatful for newcomers keeping the suck alive for me to know i never want to be back at day 1
My recovery
Sunshine
A great nites sleep
Time with hubby
My intelligent nieces and nephews
A lively aa scene in town
I’m grateful for a sunny morning and then a rainy afternoon. I’m grateful for getting a new notebook. I love buying new notebooks! I’m grateful for having a good hike and drinking my favorite tea. I’m grateful for my favorite mug that has cute dogs on it and fits perfectly in my hand. I’m grateful for this group who’s supported and encouraged me. I’m grateful to be sober and that I feel strong enough to face my past even though I often feel weak. I’m grateful for my good days. I’m grateful for cuddles with my dogs.
Thank you for this day
Already yesterday I was in quite the foul mood and woke up like that this morning. Reading and checking in here always at least gets me going and then I gain momentum with my morning routine. I am very grateful I have managed to establish these routines for my day to day life that get me through all the difficulties that may arise. I am also grateful it worked as intended today.
I moved forward today on my game design. Expanded on the kind of player experience I want this game to provide, especially what kind of feelings I want to evoke. Moved then forward to the formal and structural elements of the game. The whole project is getting more an more of a shape and I really love that process. This is the first game I a designing from scratch. The first one with a completely original idea and a dedicated design process. I am very grateful I have the opportunity to spend my time exactly with this kind of work. It is my dream coming true. It took me many, many years to come to this place where I know in my gut that this is what I want every day to get up to. So much gratitude for that.
I took a nice walk in the afternoon. I had felt rather moody and was not particularly motivated. But during the walk I felt feeling so much better step by step. In the end I stayed in the gardens three times longer then I had planned. I am very grateful for the power of sun, gardens and walks. I even had a nice chat with a lady there.
Later I did the workout and yoga I had planned. I realised at some point I need a steady daily routine with some kind of exercise in the late afternoon, but I also am a person who likes a bit of variety. So now I started incorporating a short CrossFit style workout before my yoga session. This way I get to do something different every day. I am grateful my body is back to health so I can work out again. I am grateful for all the possibilities to find interesting workouts these days without leaving the house.
My mum picked my daughter up for the afternoon and I am very grateful for that. She was in a rotten mood. All that sitting at home does her no good. She came back with a far better frame of mind. So grateful for my mum, grateful we live close by, grateful she can be here for us, grateful they both have such a great relationship.
I‘ll be off to a Recovery Dharma online meeting soon. So grateful for these groups.
I am grateful for this day.
Sleep tight sober friends
Today I am grateful for this thread! After weeks of me being absent: It’s still here, it just keeps on going with all you lovely people
I am grateful for 441 days sober today. I am grateful for my 1 year TS anniversary yesterday - I am even grateful I missed it, because my life atm is just so FULL
I am grateful I got to see Bryan Adams live for the third time last weekend.
And I am grateful the weather is nice, so my repotting and rearranging of all the plants in the yard makes good progress.
Monday late evening gratitude.
I’m grateful today was a holiday here. I had a restful day. I’m grateful for snuggles from my old boy. I’m grateful for every day we have. I love him to pieces.
I’m grateful for my comfy house. The heated pillow makes my back ache less. I’m grateful for water melons.
I’m grateful I’ve been watching the changes carefully that occured after stopping my meds 3 weeks ago. I really enjoyed the pause and the positive changes. I’m sad that the hightened emotions and nervous outbursts came back and reached a level that made me decide to start taking the meds again. I’m grateful for this really good and helpful experience. I’m grateful I trust myself and my awareness. I’m grateful I’m able to revise decisions when the outcome turns into a wrong direction. I’m grateful I am able to learn. I’m grateful I am kind to myself. I’m grateful Missi is tamping and purring on me, her sharp claws give me sort of acupuncture.
I’m grateful for ODAAT. I love to start a new day every morning.
So good to see you checking in and a huge congrats on your 1 year on TS!
OOH Bryan Adams – hope you enjoyed. I got to see him a few years back and he really did put on an amazing show.
Hi fellow gratitude practitioners!! I am grateful for books. I am grateful for Erik Larson today in particular. That man’s history reads like the most exciting fiction. I’m grateful for guided meditation. I’m grateful for gorgeous weather, I’m grateful to work downtown near so many great restaurants. Grateful for you! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Im grateful to be done with work today, and for making some money.
Im grateful to have the ability to be grateful for things even when I’m feeling down.
Im grategul for my bed, and my own room with my own personal space.
Im grateful for hot running water and a roof over my head.
Im grateful to have the next few days off work.

Im grateful for my hobbies and that theyre available to me, and that I can afford them.
Im grateful for the life im making for myself and its improvements, specifically becoming sober, and moving forward in trying to figure out a career path I would like to move towards.
I’m grateful to have started training for my new position. Although they are longer days at a store that I haven’t worked at very much I am excited to get started and ready to get into my actual store!
I’m grateful that my family understands when I need some space and let me get some me time. With me training at a new store I’m talking and getting to know a lot of people that I have never met before so it’s a little draining after doing that for 10 hours.
I’m grateful that I have a reliable vehicle to allow me to make the commute to be able to get this promotion. I’m grateful that Target gave me a chance!!
I’m grateful for having a good birthday today. I’m grateful to be sober today and healthy. I’m grateful for a wonderful sunny day spent outside. I’m grateful for a good hike, a wonderful soak in the hot spring and a great picnic! I’m grateful for Mop and Leila who also had a wonderful picnic time with us. I’m grateful for the lemon pie my friend made for me (my favorite!) and for being able to just relax today and enjoy myself. I’m grateful for good conversations and laugher I’m grateful for my neighbors and the neighbor kids who came tonight to sing me and gave me some chocolate. I’m grateful for that tired feeling you get after being in the sun all day and now sitting here feeling content with a hot pot of cardomon tea with a dog on both side of me.
Happy Birthday @Laner
I’m grateful you guys are all still here.
I’m grateful I’ve missed you all so much.
I’m grateful to get my kitchen almost all out of boxes and trying to set it up.
I’m grateful I’m not over doing it and I am getting a little bit done each day.
I’m grateful the Gus Bus stopped here yesterday. I’m grateful that joyfully forces me to take a break and play with my grandson.
I’m grateful it looks like a sunny day.
I’m grateful for my wife’s on line furniture shopping skills.
I’m grateful for the lady cardinal that stops by each morning for a song for me a Benson.
I’m grateful for my garden.
I’m grateful I’m happy.
I’m grateful my wife and I are the “A,” team when it comes to moving. I’m grateful we are both so fried and exhausted in a good healthy stress way that we haven’t got the energy desire or time to argue. I’m grateful we both laugh at each other when we tell stories about going the wrong way in the new house. Especially when we head the wrong direction to go to the bathroom. Or the thousands of other stupid little things we do during the day time.
I’m grateful Maverick only turns on the water at the kitchen sink during feeding time in the morning, so far. I’m grateful the cats reminded us the hard way why we drink water out of bottles with tops instead of glasses.
I’m grateful we love our new neighborhood.
I’m grateful for the California mountains beach and flora.
I’m grateful I get to check in here today and not worry about catching up. I’m grateful catching up here would be impossible. I’m grateful for all the milestones I’ve missed.
I’m grateful I missed one too.
I’m grateful for my 1601 days of being AFAF!!
I’m grateful I’m loving it

Thank you for this day
I am grateful for a good day today. Grateful to be able to exercise again, able to experience myself like that, focused and active.
Grateful that my ex is still the reliable and competent person professionally and that he could help me access my health situation.
Grateful he took your daughter for the day and I had a day without a moody teenager.
Grateful for my work and the way my project develops.
Grateful there was a break in the heavy rain we are experiencing today, so I could go and do the groceries without getting soaked.
Grateful for the Refuge Recovery meeting I attended a moment ago. I‘m getting hooked on those buddhist based meetings and it‘s all @Soberbilly‘s fault
Grateful for all the communities of people in recovery. Grateful we don‘t have to do it all alone.
Grateful I‘ve felt at peace with food today. Grateful I realised my own distractions.
I am grateful for this day.
Sleep tight sober friends
Today I’m grateful for another restful day. I’m grateful for a calm night. I’m grateful for a safe roof over my head and a house protecting us from weather. It can be frightening to be in the middle of rainclouds and growling thunder makes your house quake.
I’m grateful for a massage. I’m grateful I napped away the afternoon. Maybe I need more rest and meditation. I’ve rarely meditaded the last weeks. I’m grateful I realize that parts of my self-care focus became sloppy. I’m grateful I always can start again and start over. I’m grateful today I listened to my needs and rested. I’m grateful I snuggled the cats. Lots of snuggles. I’m grateful the nervous outbursts are gone. I’m grateful for meds. I’m not happy that the meds make me less vivid. I’m grateful I sense the difference and that I got to have two weeks of my body living clear of the meds. I will keep learning. Maybe one day I’m able to live my vivid self without the emotional turmoil that needs chemical intervention. I’m grateful for this experiment.
I’m gratefully watching series on my comfy couch with Missi on me and the old boy beside me. I’m content, feel calm, life feels good. ODAAT

Congrats on 1600 plus days @Dazercat !! What an accomplishment, and inspiration. Grateful you share your journey(s) with us!!
I’m grateful that an old friend from high school reached out to me today, because she heard through the grapevine that I’m sober. She started her sober journey in January. So we’re on similar sober paths. Grateful that she remembers how young I was when I started drinking, as she was right there with me. Grateful that we have second chances in this life.
Happy Birthday @Laner !! I love lemon desserts tooooo!!
