Not sure this link will work, just wanted to add I am grateful for the meditative music by Snatum Kaur. I love doing yoga to this music….
Thanks you Jasmin, do you have a date already for your surgery? Think I missed it. Hope all goes well and it’s behind you soon ![]()
Good morning.
My life is full, and I am grateful ![]()
I was out of town for the last couple of days with a sponsee who was having surgery. I am grateful to be able to support other women in recovery. I am proud of her, and blessed to see this program working right in front of my eyes as she went narcotic free, being 6 months off methadone. The trip filled my heart, we were not alone. I also got to visit a friend who I have posted about here sometime back, she had relapsed to fentanyl. I am grateful that she got herself into a recovery house and is almost 3 months clean. She will be coming home in 2 weeks and she asked me to sponsor her. I didnt say no, and I didnt say yes. We will see what happens, its in Gods hands. ![]()
On another note there is chaos happening over there… (points to the right) I am grateful that its not mine and that I have no desire to get too involved. I am learning that being a sponsor is a fine art. Its a juggle of being loving, compassionate, dettached and equanimous. I am grateful for the challenge and for all of the opportunities I have to learn those principles.
I am very in love today, with so many things. Myself, my partner, my child, my parents, my dog, my home, where I live,yoga, making jewelry… the list goes on. Eevrything in my life is love, it surrounds me, I see it everywhere. I am grateful for my rose colored glasses and that they are not drug enduced, but built upon spirutal living and prayer.

When I get text messages like this it fills my soul.
Gratitude is a good attitude to have ![]()
I am grateful I managed to get my shit together this morning and was on time to the funeral. I also am grateful I had this experience of not getting totally stressed out and being on time. As I said, I really don‘t do time management.
I am grateful I went to the funeral and could support my friends. That‘s what friends are for, to show support, when times get tough. And for sauna ![]()
I am grateful I had to run some errands today which gave me multiple bike rides through the city. Seeing all those people stuck in their cars in traffic jams, searching for parking spots, getting upset… Man I am grateful to have a bike I can swoosh through the city on. I also am grateful that my life allows me to not to have to drive around in a car. And obviously for bike infrastructure.
I am grateful for very tasty salmon and potatoes today. Grateful for my child‘s story about anger, tantrums and finding out it was all for nought.
I am grateful for a fresh hair cut and the nice chat I had with the hair dresser lady.
I am grateful for coffee, naps, my very comfy recliner and good books.
And I am grateful I am going to be off to bed soon.
Have a marvellously nice night sober friends ![]()
Today I am grateful for a busy week that has flown by.
I am grateful for meetings where you can keep the camera off.
I’m grateful to have a job that helps low income families.
I am grateful for reader glasses bc my eyes suck lately.
I’m grateful for precious elderly clients that bring me baked goods “just because”…

Today I am grateful I had my doctors appointment. I think it was successful (enough). No definitive answer from the doc, but a new medication to try and another follow up appointment next week. That’s more than most of the previous appointments added up to. So I’m definitely very grateful how it played out today. And I am grateful that the pain from last week subsidised with this last course of antibiotics. Grateful for antibiotics - fullstop! Such a great invention. Antibiotics rock!!!
I’m also grateful I finished running an errand way ahead of time. That gave me the chance to go to pilates class tonight. Grateful I got a last minute place.
Grateful for water in general, hot shower, body scrub and my Lush face mask I got as a freebie last time in the shop.
Grateful @sober_ken found us on the gratitude thread! Welcome to the family ![]()

@Pattycake thanks Patricia- i am glad i didn’t wait any longer or attempt to shrink. Not sure how they got the measurements so wrong on MRI and ultrasound but it was waaay bigger than a softball ![]()
@anon10035965 Thanks Claudia. Did have the surgery today. It went smoothly and i am grateful to be home (well at my parents place) being pampered by my mom. liquid diet and very slight movement ![]()
@maxwell Thank you so much Maxine. Appreciate the well wishes and the hugs!

I’m grateful 3 furballs, especially an old one, woke me up because they are up. I’m grateful they prepare me for the time change. I’m grateful this week contained only minor inconveniences like this, a bit of back pain, some emotionally hard spots. I’m deeply grateful for a week without major ups and downs, just living. I’m slightly anxious this phase is the calm before the storm. I’m grateful I work on letting go such thoughts. As long as I focus on me and take it ODAAT everything will be bearable.
I’m grateful for a chat with a friend yesterday. I’m grateful the chimney sweeper did his work. I’m grateful I find distraction and focus for my spinning mind in knitting. I’m grateful I picked up this long forgotten hobby before christmas. I like how I get better and quicker as the shawl grows.
I’m grateful I maybe fall asleep again as it is quiet and the cats went back to sleep.
As many know I’m entering my busiest time of year between work and the start of baseball season. I’m grateful for my third year as a head coach of a really promising team. I have high hopes and expectations for my team this year. They’re the hardest working team I have put on the field so far and they want to win a championship together. I’m grateful to be the person they count on and for some of them the only positive and safe influence they have in their lives. I’m grateful I can come in everyday and not be hungover and be 100% for them and for my family and for my job everyday. I’m grateful for coffee in the morning because God knows I enjoy my one cup a day! Also grateful for Diet Coke my drink of choice besides water and a fun joke for all my players to poke fun at me for. As always I’m grateful for this place and although I may be busy for a bit here I will try to check in and let you all know how the season is going. I would be lying if I said I don’t wake up and think about taking a team to win my first championship as a coach. But, no matter what happens I will always be grateful for the blessings in my life and another day sober at day number 414 today
Glad all went well Jasmine ![]()
Take your time to rest and heal. And moms like to pamper their kids (as I know as a mom
) so I hope she doesn’t cover you with love too much ![]()
Enjoy your time together ![]()

Oh what a lovely morning to practise some gratitude. Grateful @JazzyS surgery went well and she is already back posting all over the forum! Grateful you have your family to support you through recovery. I am grateful for my guided healing meditation, that not only promotes healing within myself, but let’s me send healing thoughts to others. Sending those thoughts out to you. Get well soon my friend🧡

Happy Friday, fellow walkers on the sober path!
I am grateful for @JazzyS continued recovery.
I am grateful @Dazercat told me about this thread
I am grateful that it is Friday and I have no plans this weekend! I’m sure something will come up to change that but for now it’s so nice to imagine actually relaxing for a couple of days.
I’m grateful for NetFlix and their show Love Is Blind because it gave my husband and I something to watch and laugh our azzes off about this week, together…which seems to be more and more rare the older we get (as in, we don’t watch/enjoy the same TV shows or movies as a couple much anymore)
Hope you all have a lovely, safe, sober, healthy weekend ![]()
