Grateful for days spent with my wife when the kids are at school. Big plus of shift work.
Grateful for time spent with the kids individually, it’s a different dynamic than when it’s both of them.
Grateful for quick easy dinners. Pesto chicken pasta salad.
Grateful to see @JazzyS check-in post surgery
Grateful for another day sober and hangover free

Way too early morning gratitude.
I’m happy that @JazzyS is home and the surgery went well. Smooth recovery dear friend 
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🧡

I’m grateful to have survived the week. Tomorrow I go back off caffeine. Its amazing how quickly all the other medications had to be stacked back on with its renewed use. I swear that caffeine will eventually be the death of me (either literally or indirectly);which, I mean, is kind of pathetic given the plethora of other things I’ve used in the past. That’s like a seasoned warrior dying from choaking on a fish bone after the hardest battles were won.
But thank god I still have a sense of humor. I’m grateful that I am easily amused by myself, and that I am my own light in the darkness of my life.
@JazzyS glad to hear the surgery went well! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

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

I’m grateful, always for @JazzyS and I’m so glad you’re doing well and healing.
I am grateful I left early for work this morning so I didn’t get stuck behind “drive your tractor to school day”…. Yes that’s a thing in a small country town if you didn’t know.
I am grateful the weekend is here and I get to relax and spend time with my family.
I’m grateful for my elderly clients today that talk my ear off and ask me way too many personal questions lol

Oh I love this too. Looking forward to seeing your amazing work once you complete.
@soberwalker Oh the joys of motherhood eh? I am grateful that my mom is taking care of me and at the same time not being too smothering (yes I am being mindful of not getting too much love ) [quote=“50ber, post:537, topic:178369”]

Love this! Oh the joys and benefits of sobriety
@holysquid thanks friend. Thank you so much – Yeah – I couldn’t stay away long :lauging:
Grateful to see you keep your sense of humor in tact. SO very important when dealing with life and health issues. Sorry to hear about the caffeine causing such problems. Not sure if it is feasible but could you enjoy 1 cup a week- I know that seems hard but maybe easier than giving it up completely. Hoping you get back to staying off of the medications very soon.
Thank you all for your lovely well wishes and healing vibes. I am so in love with this forum and all your beautiful souls. We really do show up for each other and that is a beautiful thing Heart:

Fluctuating hormone levels are making my life difficult today. Nonetheless I have lots to be grateful for.
I am grateful I know this will pass, I know fluctuating means changing. I am grateful I have meds to help a bit, and a life where I can just take my time.
I am grateful for the nice time spend with a friend this morning, drinking tea, chatting, catching up. We haven‘t seen each other for quite a time and had a lot to talk about. I am very grateful I opened up about difficult stuff in my life and my friend did too. They usually are a person who does not share much of their personal troubles. So I am very grateful they did today.
I am grateful for my child‘s tale of the day, things happening at school, very important teenager stuff. I am grateful they share and talk.
I am grateful for anime, good books, and so much compassion here on the forum.
Have a good night‘s sleep sober friends
