I’m grateful for y’all’s gratitude. I just can’t keep up when I miss a day reading. I’m grateful I might just have to surrender to keeping up here. I’m grateful I recognize the addict in me wants, MUST, read and :heart: all your gratitude but I just can’t. I’m grateful I will try. And if I don’t? It’s not a fail.

I’m grateful for the shout out @Naomi I’m grateful to see so many others carry this gorgeous load of gratitude we get to share.

I’m so grateful the first thing I saw this morning is Emilee’s 2 year soberversary @TrustyBird and I’m just so excited for her I’m spreading the word. Milestones just bring so much Joy to my heart.

I’m grateful I finally got off the meme thread with my coffee buddy to express my gratitude. I’m grateful I’ve been surrounding myself with so much recovery these days I don’t have a morning routine anymore. It’s kinda cool. I’m grateful I keep my gratitude practice going throughout the day whether I read it or write it.

I’m grateful last nights meeting celebrated a 1 year and a 15 year soberversary. I’m grateful I haven’t got a clue who these people are and they don’t know shit about me but I got to share my excitement for them.

I’m grateful for the steps.
I’m grateful my sponsor is bugging me to have coffee with him.
I’m grateful I’m busy and doing great I’m telling him and he’s saying that’s so good. Let’s have coffee :coffee: ALLRIGHT!! I’m grateful he’s such a good guy. I’m grateful he’s persistent. I’m grateful for his shares at both my meetings he goes to. I’m grateful he’s a double winner too. I’m grateful I finally took up his invitation to join him at his Thursday night AA meeting.

I’m grateful I’ve never not learned something at a meeting :nerd_face:

I’m grateful 4 ladies loved my share at my Al-Anon meeting yesterday and came over to me after. All I said was I drove across town into Phoenix for the Wednesday speaker meeting and I loved it! Pass. And they all wanted to know where it was and want to go if they can.

Not that I’m trying to get likes. But…. Sometimes. Most times. The most well thought out shares go unnoticed. And that’s ok. And the shares where you just blurt something out really makes an impact. KISS

Good morning all. I’m grateful I’m here among you wonderful people. I’m so grateful to be sober.
I’m grateful for some sunshine to start the day.
I’m grateful for my morning coffee ritual.
I’m grateful for racking up some sleep. Multiple wakings but also multiple dreams. I’ll take the total hours I did sleep as a gift.
I’m grateful both cats slept with me, even though they sorta pin me down and then wake me up for food at dawn.
I’m grateful husband and I plan on going to town for a little outing. First time in over a year he has wanted to do that. I see he struggles so. It breaks my heart, but he is trying and I’ll take that as a gift too.
Life is a gift. :gift_heart:

I’ll be off to my fantasy game night in a few, and want to get out my gratitude before the space pirates get me :space_invader: :pirate_flag:

I am grateful for a day of slow patience, determination and healing. I’m almost done with my current game project. Almost no bugs. Grateful I’m working on something more boring than taxing.

I am grateful for good food today, my child sharing their day, a nice bike trip to the grocery stores.

I am grateful for a stress free day.

I am grateful I’ll be spending the evening with nice people, idle chatter and relaxing fun. Exactly what I need. There will even be a car ride involved :oncoming_automobile:

I am grateful for yoga and movement. I am grateful for you all wonderful people here.

Have a goooood night :night_with_stars:

I’m grateful for Daze pulling me over here today with his shoutout. I’m grateful that two years and a week or so ago I was googling sober apps. I’m grateful I found this one.
I’m grateful that every time I reached out on here someone reached right back.
I’m grateful for two but I’ll go for three just to be sure.


I am grateful that I choose sobriety every day.

Today I’m grateful I did chores, office work, had breakfast, napped, put the cats in the boxes and now we are here at the farm. I’m grateful no stress was envolved. I’m grateful they were running around the house all afternoon. Now we all are tired. I’m grateful for a full freezer, plenty of food for dinner. I’m grateful I could stay at home, tomorrow will be busy. I’m grateful for the woodstove, it’s slowly getting cozy and warm.
I’m grateful for a nice chat with a neighbour.
I’m grateful I do what I can and that’s enough. Tomorrow I will also do what I can. I’m grateful being here at the farm again makes me & cats happy. I’m grateful for ODAAT. I’m grateful I can give my heavy heart to God and the universe. They will show me how my life goes on and if the farm is involved. I’m grateful waiting patiently for the new value expertise is doable taking it ODAAT. With some help from the serenity prayer. Good night dear fellows, I’m deadbeat :zzz:

I’m grateful I found the hole in my leggings BEFORE going to work this morning.

I’m thankful that the clogged up hand sanitizer I used first thing at work this morning shot past my face and not into it.

I’m thankful the drink I spilled on my shirt this morning was clear.

I’m thankful that I woke up on the right side of the bed so all the above things didn’t send me on a spiral of self pity.

I’m thankful that even though some days I’m a hot mess that I can laugh it off…

Thankful… so beyond thankful it’s Friday.

@TrustyBird thankful you made two years. Congratulations!!:black_heart:

I am grateful for the long chat I had today with an old acquaintance. I am grateful he opened up to me about his current life situation. I am grateful my sobriety gave me back my emotions. I am grateful for the tears that filled my eyes listening to his story. I am grateful this encounter today holds the possibility to elevate into a friendship… maybe? I’ve known him for 10 years, but we never exchanged more than pleasantries. I am grateful I am aware of my willingness to engage in a meaningful human connection. I am grateful I have the energy to give it a try to make a new (old) friend.

I am grateful @TrustyBird is here with us. I am grateful I get to celebrate that awesome milestone with you today.

I am grateful for my prescription medication, I already feel a lot better than yesterday

Grateful for my beautiful sister. Sending me so many funny clips out of the blue. Like she knew i needed to laugh.
Grateful for my quick chat with my cousin in England. Grateful that she reached out at the perfect time today when i was about to have a breakdown. Grateful that i felt like smiling after our text exchange.
Grateful for the lovely gift i received from my cousin. Sent a lovely book (haven’t seen it yet as my brother snagged it to read first), a t-shirt from the Jamaican carnival she attended and a lovely sentimental postcard. Got the package on Valentines day so it was perfect :heart:
Grateful that i was able to get some work done last night when i couldn’t sleep. Found out that a few of my orders from Amazon were due to deliver Wednesday even though they were on Prime and in stock. Grateful that with a chat i was able to figure out that i had opted for that weird delivery option and the agent was able to correct the shipping so now i will receive tomorrow.
Grateful that i got a few hours of sleep this morning finally around 6:30. I am hoping that i do get some sleep tonight. I missed my mom time today but will be able to make up more time tomorrow :heart:
Grateful for cost comfy clothing. Feeling warm and fuzzy
