I’m grateful that we are moving forward to spring and warmer weather.
Looking forward to wear t shirts and feel the sun on my arms and face.
I’m grateful for having a job so I have the money to buy some new clothes to welcome the sun in when he arrives.

Late night gratitude
Grateful for being able to browse sober instagram accounts for motivation and reinforcement that this is the only course of action.
As a couple people mentioned earlier, @Cjp and @acromouse , I’m grateful for my job.
When I think back to the decision to start my career all those years ago, it was almost on a whim at the suggestion of a friend, and to have it turn out to be the most fulfilling and rewarding job, and one that I am good at. Im so grateful I went down that path.
Im now grateful to be sober to put more effort into work. To recover my fitness.
Having said all that Im grateful to be on days off till Saturday 
Grateful for another day sober and hangover free

Wasn’t expecting that 
Congrats on the new home close to ‘home’ Eric!
@JazzyS I can’t wait for my new desk!
My dad had a wrong referral, so he now has to go to a hospital with a 1.5 year long waiting list though. But he stays optimistic. 
I love to read your resilience every day, going through pain and sleepless nights and still keeping your peace and positive vibe. That must be hard sometimes… So happy that you have your family besides you!
@SoberWalker I heard they don’t sell in NL yet. A friend has a liquor wholesale in Belgium and I buy them from him. He said the Carlsberg brand is moving towards NL though! 
I am most grateful for the relationship with my son. We have the same humor and the best relationship I could ever ask for. He’s 23 and studying, I’m gonna miss him alot when he eventually leaves the nest.
I am grateful for not drinking, my productivity is much higher now and I feel more confident at work. No anxiety during trainings, no fried brain. I have clear eyes and a clear head!
I was reading in old journals. The main themes over the years were 1. My problematic drinking (and smoking) and 2. My constant failing at weightloss. I also wrote I really wanted a dog once I’d move out of the city.
I am so grateful where I am now. Sober and on a healthy weight. Still living in the city but with a dog, works fine since we walk alot. I like myself and my life now and I’m grateful for that

Love this! So awesome to read how sobriety has helped you.
Thanks friend. Won’t lie…It is hard (some days are worse than others). I am grateful for my support from family, TS and my HP to keep my spirits up and my mind in a positive track.
Oh love I’m sorry to hear this! Grateful that your dad is keeping a peaceful positive vibe. I do hope they have an opening sooner. Sending him positive energy to keep maintaining that vibe.

I love that you write in journals. This year so far I’ve been making one new goal to keep per month and March I’ve decided to journal every day to see if I can make it a habit or if I even enjoy it. I’ve journaled small bits so far this year and love going back and looking at what I read. It’s funny how quickly we forget what we wrote.

I’m grateful for the sunrise I just saw. I’m grateful I ran out and took a pic. Well I didn’t actually run, but got a great pic. That grandkid better be worth it 
gosh I love it here. I’m grateful I can let this place go. I’m grateful if things fall through I can stay here longer.
I’m grateful for my health. Im grateful I get to wake up without an alarm and take Benson out. I’m grateful I get that Daisy Cat butt in my face each morning. I’m grateful I can get out for a walk early if I just get off this app. I’m grateful I read from the forum this morning. The Forum is the Al-Anon news letter that gets mailed out monthly. I’m grateful for the real stories in it. I’m grateful it’s a family disease and that I’m not crazy. I’m grateful I can work my recovery and feel better whether the alcoholic is drinking or not. I’m grateful I’m learning my happiness really is up to me. Fuck. I’ve crossed over to the other side 
I’m grateful I get to go to my meetings. Just knowing last night I can go to a meeting this morning fills me with happiness. I’m grateful I’m retired and it’s not like I have anything else to do. Well that’s not true. But I’m grateful I can be selfish to my recovery a make sure I take care of myself first. I’m grateful I matter.
I’m grateful to wrap it up.
Love you guys 
When I reflect on the difference between how I responded to certain challenges before Al-Anon and how I handle them today, I can see the growth I have achieved, and I am encouraged.

I’m grateful I’m not on social media and in general am a very private person. Maybe I could learn to be less private, but for today I’m grateful for it. Apparently some acquaintances of mine got into a spat that made its way online and dragged out for all to see. I’m grateful that I am old fashioned in that if I have an issue with someone, I go to them directly and discuss rather than gossip or make a scene.
This situation reminds me that I’m also grateful I have cultivated my close friend group as such that if they have an issue with me, they feel comfortable talking to me about it rather than letting it fester or making a public spectacle on or offline.
I’m also grateful my youth is not forever memorialized on the Internet and that I have kept most of my ever shifting and ever growing life off the internet. I know I am not very “open” or that I may not share much about myself on TS, but in truth I have probably shared more about myself on TS than all my other internet experiences combined. I’m grateful that a place exists where I can constantly challenge those old demons that would make me into a hermit.
@Dazercat congrats on the house stuff! Also I never saw My Three Sons in color either.
@Naomi it is so great that you keep journals and also reread them. I have tried to journal many times in my life, but I always ended up destroying them. I grew up in an environment where it wasn’t safe to have a written record of my thoughts and feelings. The need for privacy runs hella deep in me 
@50ber welcome to the gratitude thread!
@maxwell congrats on your 50 days!
@acromouse congrats on your 90 days no sugar!

After a day at the sauna I‘m really tired, but in a good way. I am grateful everything worked out and I could enjoy my time.
I am grateful for the inspiration I had, the ideas how to move forward on my projects. I really love the downtime I get there. No interruptions, no busy work, nothing. Just sweating and relaxing.
I am grateful my relaxed state made it really possible to enjoy my book. I sometimes wonder why I don‘t enjoy books any more like I did when I was younger. Well, here is the answer. I don‘t give the reading the time and attention.
I am grateful we have a city sauna and a several community pools. The prices are reasonable and the locations accessible. A lot of people can this way enjoy swimming, bathing and sauna. We all deserve some r&r from time to time.
I am grateful my partner is doing better and even had some chicken and rice for lunch.
I am grateful my headache feels like it is subsiding.
I am grateful the day is almost done and I can go to bed in a few.
Sleep tight sober friends

I am grateful that you all are still here doing the gratitude thing, even though I missed a couple of days. Grateful the world keeps on turning, even without me taking part in it.
I am grateful my volunteer job tonight got cancelled last minute, so we had a family cinema evening. I am grateful my other half suggested that, and to pick up food on the way. I am grateful I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. I am grateful my health problems will be seen to and further investigated. I am grateful, even if it’s an uncomfortable situation to go through. I am grateful healthcare is paid for through the NHS. I am grateful I can take time tomorrow for my health, not just with the appointment, but also lots of time for selfcare and meditation. I am grateful the only other thing I need to take care of tomorrow is a little shop for basic groceries.
I am grateful for the love the universe gives to me

Grateful for another day and opportunity to do something worth while. 61 days isnt much to write home about but its the longest time ive had in some years. Luckily i was able to get treatment and make it work. And I put in the work, and will continue to, every single day. Im so grateful for my sobriety and for my children. What are you grateful for today?

I am so grateful for another sunny, sober day. I’m in Alberta, Canada and our winter has been fantastic … so far. Not good for the land so much but it sure is making my life more comfortable.

I’m grateful today to have the chance to put the work in! Air in my lungs hope in my heart one foot in front the other days it feels like walking on a tightrope but I know from past experience it will get easier and that tightrope walk becomes a walk with our feet firmly on the ground.

Awesome bro. I catch myself thinking ‘only xdays’ but at the same time anytime is something to be immensely proud of. And 61 is huge. Just keep stacking days is the plan
