Friday gratefulness 
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 (havenāt 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 
Grateful that i was able to get some work done last night when i couldnāt 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
Grateful for cost comfy clothing. Feeling warm and fuzzy
Grateful for this community! Grateful for your support.
Wishing everyone a addiction free day / evening! sending you all so much love

Good morning!
Iām grateful to be writing my gratitude list with you today. To wake up on a Saturday morning with no hangover, no regrets, and the energy to take on the day is one of my favorite parts of being sober. Weekends are longer now and I get more sleep!
Iām grateful to have had the energy and the patience and kindness to work hard with my students this week and begin to see some progress!
Iām grateful to be in a loving and safe and happy marriage and to get to spend time with my hubby this weekend.
Iām grateful for our safe and cozy home.
Iām grateful to have the resources to take care of myself. Last weekend I bought a plane ticket to go visit my son in California at spring break. Last night I made a reservation for a cute little cabin in the north woods for a week in July.
Iām grateful to be in good health and have work that brings me real life engagement and continued learning.
Iām grateful that my husband and my siblings and I are in this sober journey at the same time in our lives!
Iām grateful it is the weekend and I can take a mental break from the work.
Iām grateful to be getting my first cup of coffee soon. I wish you all the best and a day of peace.

I have so much to be grateful for on this beautiful day (itās raining heavily outside but itās still a beautiful day to me)
Iām grateful that I missed the rain while I was walking this morning with my dog, she isnāt keen on the rain or being wet.
Iām always grateful for my sister who listens with so much patience to EVERY thought that comes into my mind.
I grateful for my amazing son who has lived with me as a drunk & never complained, now he lives by himself & visits me for the odd meal each week & takes me grocery shopping. Iām also grateful that heās allowing me to drive his car which is helping me with my debilitating anxiety around driving (a massive portion of the anxiety came from alcohol) Iām getting better at it 
Iām grateful for my friends who invited me out last night to a quiz night (we didnāt win but we had fun) My first night out this year!
Iām grateful to have the kind of friends who donāt ask āwhy are you not drinking a real drink?ā We didnāt go to a pub but there was alcohol available. Only one of my friends knows Iām in recovery.
Iām grateful that Iām sober & because of that Iāve actually gotten myself into a nice morning routine which involves exercise. I could never keep up with an exercise routine due to hangovers.
Iām grateful for how amazing I feel waking up without a hangover & having had a restful sleep.
Iām grateful that Iām alive. I didnāt feel alive before, I was sleep walking through my life.
Iām grateful to the person who suggested I chose a āword (or two) for the yearā mine are peace & patience. Iāve never felt more at peace in my adult life than I do now (itās early days - day 51) but Iām loving how settled my body & mind feel, the first 4 weeks were pretty awful. And Iām attempting to bring patience into all aspects of my life. I was constantly rushing through every event in my life when I was drinking. Now Iām all about smelling the roses. Being in the moment. Taking my time.Showing gratitude & practicing mindfulness.
Iām also super grateful that alcohol didnāt steal everything from me, it stole a lot but it didnāt take my sense of humour, my ability to make people laugh, my chattiness.
I hope all you wonderful people have an amazing day š©·

Iām grateful to be alive and in recovery. Iām grateful it helps me handle this whole house thingy and my wifeās arthritis in her knee.
First off. A year ago or maybe even less I would have blamed my wifeās knee arthritis on her drinking. I really think I would have. I was that sick. I was blaming everything on her drinking. Iām so grateful for the progress Iāve made in Al-Anon. And now I get to have AA meetings. Iām grateful for double barrel recovery.
Iām grateful I can feel more loving and compassionate to my wife while I kinda hold down the fort because she is really struggling to walk. And itās painful. 
Iām grateful it didnāt bother me she had 3 glasses of wine. Iām grateful I wasnāt counting her wine consumption she just told me Iām having a third glass. Iām grateful I felt nothing. Nothing negative. Nothing good. Nothing bad. Itās what alcoholics do. If we arenāt in recovery we drink.
Iām so grateful for my recoveries with this fucking house we are trying to buy. Iām grateful we are in a bidding war 
NOT but Iām grateful to know what Iām up against if we donāt get this house. Fully remodeled turn key. If we donāt get this one I know it wasnāt meant to be. But if I find another like this one itās going to be the same situation. So Iām grateful we are all in on this one. BRING IT!! Iām grateful this bidding war is still way under our top budget. Iām grateful wifey said if we donāt get it someone else it going to have to pay a shit load for it 
grateful for spiteful humor. Iām grateful Mavy just forced his way in for a snuggle and heās purring and breathing loudly on me as I write. Iām grateful we made a killing on the Flagstaff house. Iām grateful Iām blessed to be in this situation sober and calm. Calm most of the time. Iām grateful if we do get the house. I GOT TO MOVE! Get to move 
Iām grateful if we donāt get the house I donāt have to move. Iām grateful for step 1. Iām powerless over people places and things. Iām grateful whatever happens happens. Iām grateful Iāll be ok no matter what.
Iām grateful I just got a text notice to meet my sponsor for coffee at 9:15 this morning. So Iām grateful I get to wrap this up now.
Edit to add:
Iām grateful wifey trust me. She hasnāt even seen the house in person. Iām grateful thatās 40 fucking years of marriage right there
Iām grateful for all of you here on this grateful home thread of ours.
āIn recovery, every day you choose sobriety is a day you choose life. Give thanks for this choice, for it is a testament to your inner strength.ā

Iām grateful to read all these wonderful posts here daily which in turn reminds me to be grateful for the big and small things in life that I forget about.
Iām grateful for the men and women who plow and salt our roads. We got a foot of snow on Tuesday and another 5 inches today. Iām grateful for my exceptional driving skills, especially in this weather. Driving to work today, a couple cars spun out in front of me on the highway. I saw it coming, when their break lights came on. They had no business being on the road. Iām grateful no one was hurt.
Iām grateful hubbyās new knees and hip are working perfectly fine nowadays. This is the first winter in 3 years that heās been able to take on all the shoveling, saving us a shit ton of money. Iām grateful he makes it a priority to have my car warmed up and cleaned off in the morning. Being that Iām the one going to work, it is in his best interest though but Iām still grateful I donāt have to do it myself. I did let him off the hook at 4am this morning when he agreed to walk the dog instead.
Iām grateful my daughterās meltdowns have seemed to subside a little. They got out of control the past couple weeks and I was seriously considering medicating her again. Iām grateful it finally came to me that her meltdowns were the result of my stress. Iām grateful for my patience and ability to walk away when it gets too heated. Iām grateful for cold late night walks by myself to reset.
Iām grateful when I got sick this week it only lasted a day. High fever and body aches came on out of nowhere at work. Iām grateful my boss told me to go home and rest even thought weāre buried in work. Iām grateful I went back to the office the next day feeling my normal self. Maybe the stress finally caught up to me.
Iām grateful I get to go to my ladies only AA meeting tonight and probably dinner afterwards. I love our meeting after the meeting, especially when a newcomer joins us. If we can keep another alcoholic from picking up a drink for an additional hour then our 12th step work is a success. Iām grateful for the AA sayingā¦āGive it way to keep itā. Makes so much sense now that Iāve been on this journey a few years.
Iām grateful for each and every one of you helping to keep me sober today.

Iām grateful for another day.
Iām grateful itās sunny outside today.
Iām grateful for the haven we made out of our plot of land. Turkeys and deer and rabbits meander through every day. Iād be more grateful for them if theyād leave the vegetable garden alone in summer, but we all have to live.
Iām grateful my neighbors kitties are ok with me barging in on them daily to take care of them while their parents are gone.
Iām grateful for music.
Iām grateful for TS, and all you lovely kind people. Iām so glad I found you.

I am grateful I rescheduled seeing my parents to Tuesday, so I can also join my dad to the hospital. Iām grateful to have this Saturday for myself.
I am grateful the temperature is rising, hopefully weāre moving towards springtime. Iām really looking forward to summer 
I am grateful for finding a dirt cheap bikini for the holiday with the fam, in stead of spending another 50 bucks on a small piece of fabric. I am grateful I lost some weight, but Iām in dire need of some clothing updates. Quite the challenge as I dislike shoppingā¦
I am grateful for the relaxing evening yesterday, watching murder series and having pizza.
I am grateful I had a moment of retrospection yesterday. I was walking home with my groceries, normally the most important thing in my bag would be a bottle of wine and some extra beers just in case. This time I had pizza and sparkling water for the Friday evening. It made me proud of myself, knowing the morrorow me will be grateful I didnāt drink.

Itās late afternoon and I really need to come here.
Today Iām grateful for frozen pizza. With a little bit extra cheese, ham and mushrooms itās a quick, tasty meal. Iām grateful I can afford grocery shopping. Iām sure one day I will faint facing the bill at the supermarket. Iām grateful I stocked up on catlitter.
Iām grateful for all the work I put in myself and my life. Guess what? The ex showed up at the farm today to fumble with his stones. A coincidence as I moved back here yesterday? He didnāt know Iām back. Itās very, very strange. Iām grateful we were civil, I was able to address my questions and issues, I am content with the information I got and he removed a tree from the drive-up to the tractor parking. Iām grateful I didnāt have to ask, he had this idea himself. Iām grateful I stayed neutral when he talked about his new leasing car. He obviously can afford 2 cars.
Iām grateful my codependent mimimi was civil too and I sayed good bye when everything was said & done. Iām grateful I allowed me to cry a bit and feel a little upset. Iām grateful I treated myself to a yummi breakfast at lunchtime soon after, checked HALT, petted cats and took a shower. Iām grateful the mimimi was gone after the shower. Progress!
Iām grateful I laze on the couch, the cats are sleeping, the fire in the woodstove makes the room warm and cozy, I have a second glass of milk with a second cookie.
Iām grateful for freedom, for my peaceful life, that resentments come and go and sometimes fade, that my brain is in good shape again (at least for this week it was ok), that Iām grateful for all my blessings, that Iām a kind and warmhearted person, that I have both feet on the ground.
Iām grateful I got notice yesterday that a farther schoolmate commited murder last year. A friend of mine stayed loosely in touch with him over the years, she told me he contacted her last summer as he moved back from abroad. We three had a nice, short phonecall in summer but he seemed to be physically and mentally in bad shape and paranoid, obviously using some kind of drugs. We didnāt hear from him since. He killed a person he had big resentments on at the end of last year. Media stated that he was prisoned at a psychiatric-forensic ward due to his mental state.
Iām grateful my mental health is good besides the mimimi and brainfuck everybody suffers from time to time. Iām grateful that I was dismayed but not surprised when I read about it. I had a bad feeling about him returning from abroad and being quite a wreck. Iām grateful my friend lives far away from his place, the information took 2 months to reach her. Iām grateful we can grieve together a person we were friends in school 35 years ago.
Iām grateful for ODAAT, OFDAAT, FUBAR and FUCK 
And for my lovely cats who enjoy the farmhouse so much Where my cat people? #3 - #1538 by erntedank
Edit to add: Iām grateful I fell asleep after typing my gratitude, woke up 1,5 h later, fed the cats, did my evening routine and moved from couch to bed. After this week the perfect saturday evening. Night folks

Hi grateful people!
I am grateful for you. Reading these posts every day lift my spirit immensely.
I am grateful for my hairdresser. She is a hair magician. I am grateful for my car. Sheās taken so much abuse and still chugs along. Sheās paid off in 3 months so I hope she hangs in there for a while.
Im grateful for pillows, my doggieās love and a 3 day weekend.
