Yes, I’m feeling better than I was this morning and I actually have a small appetite. My daughter is sleeping heavy and I don’t dare disturb her. The poor baby was up coughing most of the night. grateful daddy came to her aide with medicine while I slept like a rock. Thank you for thinking about us!

Today I am grateful for a clean house and freshly washed throw blankets.
I’m grateful for my hilariously sarcastic kiddos.
I am grateful for a relaxing day leading into the work week.
I’m grateful for my husband, for always being my ride or die and soul mate. I’m grateful for almost 15 years of growth and ups and downs.
I am so grateful for my mom, who has always been a loving and supportive role model. I know not everyone had or has that, and I don’t outwardly express it enough, how lucky I was to be raised by such a wonderful person.
I’m grateful that at least once a month my emotional side comes out, which must be today, and I can really dig into how grateful I should always be.
Back to my normal hot mess express self tomorrow.

I’m grateful there’s so much gratitude on here I can’t keep up! I’m grateful
I got pulled into this thread and practice some way long time ago. I’m grateful for everyone who’s breathing new grateful life into it every day. The wheel keeps turning!
I’m grateful for the work travel and meetings last week. I’m grateful for visits with my Mom and learning to accept what is. I’m grateful for taking time to enjoy the city while I’m here - for delicious sushi, bookstores, live beautiful music with a dear pal, walks, coffee. I’m grateful to see my Sangha at an in-person recovery dharma meeting tonight. Whenever I’m able to be there in person it’s a hugfest. 
I’m grateful I don’t take my recovery for granted - at least I don’t think I do. I think I’m even grateful for cravings? Pretty strong hints that I’m trying to escape reality. I’m grateful for “name it to tame it”, and for learning to lean into my emotions. Turns out it works a whole lot better than fighting and running from 'em.
I’m grateful I’m pre-packed for tomorrow’s travel home. I’m grateful the prospect of airport mimosas holds no appeal. Fuck that. (Yep Daze, I know, ka-ching! 
)
I’m grateful for all of you. The support I get from just knowing this place is here is huge.
I’m grateful for another day.

Today I am grateful for a productive sunday. Day didn’t go as plan but that’s OK, I am just glad I spent it with loved ones. I am grateful for our finances and doing a little online shopping today. I am grateful I got time to play with my two year old and managed to do some deep cleaning while the baby napped. I am grateful for the family dinner tonight (I had been craving Mexican food all week 
) I am most grateful for my health and feeling well (seems like a cold/virus is going around the house again) I am so grateful for these late night baby snuggles. Lastly, I am grateful for my sobriety.
-Had a craving today and all I kept thinking was of someone advice in a different thread “I never regret not drinking.” Thought of that when I had the urge, that helped and instead I had a cup of coffee😊

Thank you God, I am blessed!

I am grateful for a nice long walk along the river, with a ray of sunshine here and there. I am grateful to see my dog being so crazy happy off leash.
I am grateful for coffee and freshly baked bread in the morning.
I am grateful for the good time with friends yesterday. I am grateful for ginger tea, blue cheese, dried meat, Indian food and AF Carlsberg. (Carlsberg is by far the best AF beer!) I am grateful for noticing when I get tired and I love my new bedtime routine.
I am grateful I can plan my own work days so I can join my dad to the hospital tomorrow. I’ll visit my aunt in the elderly home too. I am grateful I’ve had her in my life as a kid, she was so much fun to be around. She has dementia now, just like my mom, and I’m sad to see her this way. But I can look back on so many beautiful moments with her. She, my uncle and my grandma were safe havens during my childhood, I’ll be forever grateful for that.
I am grateful for taking care of myself. Putting my recovery first. Having boundaries. Go to bed earlier. Leave social events when I want/need to.
I am grateful I declined an invitation for a fancy party next week as it starts at 9pm, way too late for me. Old me would get exited about the free alcohol, but the new me gets exited about proper sleep. I am grateful for no more FOMO.
I am grateful for the conversation with a friend about alcohol yesterday. She is a moderate drinker and explaining to her why some can’t have ‘only one’ was always like speaking Arabic to her. But this time I can tell she took an effort in trying to understand it and she was really respectful. I explained that the first drink is the key to Pandora’s box in my brain. After it’s opened there’s no turning back. She said it’s like opening a bag of candy, impossible for her to only have one. I also told her without alcohol my anxiety is almost non-existing, that alone is worth not drinking.
I am grateful I didn’t feel like an alien this time trying to explain myself. I feel like she understood me and won’t ask me to have ‘only one’ glass of wine anymore.
I am grateful to be sober and recovering from the years of self destruction.

I love to read you have such a beautiful bond with your mom, Tiffany! I also read it in Jasmine’s posts.
Although I haven’t had a good childhood, I see my parents as victims of the cult I grew up in and I forgave them. We are miles apart from how we see the world, but I’m grateful I decided to leave the past behind and am now having a good relationship with them

I’m grateful for my meme therapy fuck it attitude this morning. Humor laughter 
and Al Buddy is lighting up Twitter. 
I’m grateful I got to get off my ass and walk the dog and I haven’t done much yet this morning. I’m grateful my morning routine of recovery readings and devotionals has been fucked in the morning. Maybe it’s because I’m going to so many meetings these days. I’m grateful those meetings fill my spiritual tank. I’m grateful I heard meetings have a shelf life of 24 hours. Sounds about right.
I’m grateful for the new bag of Italian roast and I too stuck my schnoz right in there to get a gorgeous smell of gods beans. 
I’m grateful I brewed a fantastic strong pot this morning. Grateful for my Chemex coffee carafe cleaner I used this morning after my brew works. I got a nice clean sparkling carafe for tomorrow.
Y’all have a grateful day! Ya hear! 
This one made me think of you M
@M-be-free49 bet you can’t wait to get out there. Couple more months hey

I’m grateful I made two months of no caffeine before I unceremoniously gave back in. 
I’ve been doing research on different “nootropics” (basically a group of herbal supplements which are supposed to improve thinking, learning, and memory), and I have tried a couple. I’m grateful that I have done so much personal work that I could observe my addictive patterns kicking in, though this is what ultimately lead to my breakdown of will with caffeine.
It reminds me of the back and forth, on and off, pattern of trying to quit the addictions of my past. While this is “just caffeine”, it is the same pattern, and there are some similar underlying reasons–though the constant exhaustion of not being able to properly sleep was a big reason for the step backward to the cycle of “caffeine and OTC sleep aids”.
And in this, I am grateful that I see everything in life as a learning opportunity and a way to better understand myself.

Today I’m grateful for adulting. I’m grateful I slept in as it was late yesterday and the obviously daily nightmare ennervated me when the alarm went off. I rolled around and was grateful for 1,5 h more sleep.
I’m grateful I’ve done unloved work: vacuumed, put down and stored the artifical christmas tree, heated the house, started to rearrange the christmas decoration storage (boy will this take time), did laundry, watered the plants, eliminated the cobwebs.
I’m grateful that I cried over a painful realization that hit me out of the blue. I’m grateful I did what I can today and hand everything else over to the universe.
I’m grateful I took good care of myself today. I’m grateful I rested and napped when I needed it. I’m grateful the cats are feeling at home again and settled in quickly. I’m grateful I take it one day at a time and forbid myself any hope or thought about the future. What will be will be, it’s out of my control. So I do what I can control and enjoy every day.
I’m grateful for the peace I feel here at the farmhouse. Everything feels light, even a heavy heart feels lighter than elsewhere. I’m grateful I’m tired and will be in bed soon. ODAAT

First of all I am very grateful I‘ve had now about a week of good sleep every single night. That feels so gooood!
I am grateful for having the flat for myself today so I could burry myself in work. I am grateful for finishing the last game in the ongoing project and being on my way to finalise the whole thing. It‘s starting to feel like a nice package, ready to take off.
I am grateful for the fun I had at school, the nice walk I took afterwards. For Yin Yoga, a surprise visit from my in-laws and the great stories my child shared with my today.
I am grateful for learning how to stay with my emotions and how to never leave my side. I really love this concept.
I am sleepy now. I‘m grateful for the time to do some stretching before bed.
Sleep tight sober friends

I am grateful for the end of an easy and relaxed day. I am grateful for the heated blanket warming up my bed. I am grateful for new toothpaste. I am grateful for cuddles with my other half and listening to an audiobook nearly every night.
I am grateful for all the just-for-fun posts on here. They really elevate this forum into this brilliant well rounded community that proofs sobriety doesn’t have to be dull and/or boring.

Today, I am grateful for blankets and mini heaters in my office to keep me warm since the centralized heating/air system is apparently on its last leg.
I’m grateful to live five minutes from work so that I was able to go home, have lunch and goof off with my kids on their day off from school.
I am grateful for an easy day and how fast it has flown by.
I’m grateful for having goals set in place and rewards waiting for me at the end of them. (Like eating a set amount of calories every day in February, but already having a cheat day planned for March 2nd at my favorite restaurant.)
It’s a great day to be grateful, y’all

Today I’m grateful for being on this journey, for deciding to stop drinking. For reading quit lit and the limitless amount of info available to me. For TS and Sober Time and everyone who posts, likes, supports and encourages.
I can’t ever imagine going back to my old way of life, what a waste, a total waste of life.
I’m so grateful to be sober

@chiron Made me laugh girl – yes, even a lazy Sunday in PJ’s needs to be presentable – that is what my aunt would say. We could be having the best time cooking up a storm but when it came time to eat she needed to go and dress proper and make sure her hair was done. It’s the little things in life 
WOW – so happy that you made it 2 months girl – that’s impressive. I do hope you broke your coffee fast with some good coffee. Hopefully that first sip was delightful
@m-be-free49 so grateful that you were able to enjoy your work trip and the city while protecting your sobriety. This is a huge win! I love that you were able to do the in person recovery Dharma meeting and get much needed hugs 
“name it to tame it” a new term for me and I love it!
@peteM welcome to the community and your day 1 Pete. So grateful to have you on the best thread with us – lovely way to work your recovery – loads of gratitude
WOW – this must feel amazing – congrats on the completion and hope it all does come together nicely Aga (love that you added your name to your profile).
Monday gratefulness with my gratitude peeps…
I am so grateful for finally getting some sleep last night
I am so grateful for warmer sunnier weather on the horizon.
I am so grateful that i got to attempt a walk with my mom last night. We didn’t get too far as i couldn’t handle it and it was actually very cold. I do think the cold air helped me fall asleep so glad that i did it.
I am so grateful meme therapy. love searching for them, posting them and reading all the fun ones that others post
I am so grateful comedy! Laughter really never gets old. I know i won’t be able to do much comedy in early recovery so getting in my fix now.
I am so grateful for the lovely gift that my sisters in laws sent to me. Made me laugh so hard - very thoughtful and sweet mug
I am so grateful that i have started a few easier knitting projects to help keep me busy. I am enjoying learning new stiches on YouTube.
I am so grateful for my lovely mother. Love my family. Grateful that my sister texted just to check in on me. Love my caring loving family. Grateful that i can stay sober and keep to my word of not going back to my old lifestyle. I am doing this for me but is nice to know that i will not disappoint them with my past behavior
I am so grateful for having this community as my support system. Grateful for getting so much out of everyone’s shares
I am so grateful for my HP. Grateful that even when i can’t calm down enough to meditate / pray, i know that i will forever have my HP on my side. Grateful to know that i am not on this path alone.
Another day conquered! Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening! Sending you all so much love

Hey everyone, it’s been a couple of days since I’ve been here.
What am I grateful for today? I’m not really feeling that grateful but let’s give this a go.

Earning a Trust Badge was pretty cool.
Books.
