@chiron Grateful that you finally got approved for the x-ray. Grateful that you are gathering the information from the tests and working on the best treatment plan that fits your needs. Sending you healing vibes my friend – sorry that you are in pain.
@cjp Many healing vibes being sent to your mind and body my friend – I do hope you find some peace from this mental struggle soon :pray: :hugs:

Amen to that — so grateful that you left that job and are now on a path of sobriety and self healing :hugs: I see 1 week milestone is just hours away :wink: Looking forward to celebrating with you soon.
@holysquid Oh man I’m sorry love – I am grateful you were able to get to a doctor this morning. I do hope the meds are helping and you are not in any pain. Sending you healing vibes :pray: :hugs:

A quick gratitude on this beautiful Thursday
I am so very grateful to be alive and healing. So very grateful that i had my mom with me to help when the pain got to intense to bear. Grateful that she is doing better today and i was later able to help her when she needed me. I am so grateful for a liquid healthy diet today to help ease my stomach. Grateful for being able to pray and meditate even through the pain and uncomfortableness.
much love to you all my beautiful friends - wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day / evening! :heart: :heart:

I’m grateful for another day to try and turn my will and my life over to the care of god.

I’m grateful I had the best time not golfing with my son. I’m grateful he had so much fun. I’m grateful for that special bonding time I got to have with him with a sunrise and the links to ourselves for 3 hours. I’m grateful maybe golf isn’t so bad.

I’m grateful my son came to my AA meeting last night. He loved it. I’m grateful he admitted he needs to get back into meetings. I’m grateful for father and son AA meetings. How fucking cool is that?

I’m grateful when Norma goes down for a nap. Pop pop goes down for a nap.

I’m grateful I try and focus on all the family fun and not my wife’s drinking and cut myself some slack when her drinking concerns me. I’m grateful I don’t hold on to those drinking resentments like I use to. But I do see they are still there. Just the tiniest bit. I’m grateful for progress not perfection. I’m grateful I don’t have to be perfect.

I’m grateful for another day living the chaotic dream with family.

I’m grateful this thread keeps going with endless amounts of gratitude.

Grateful for my view of the woods that have started to turn bright green. Grateful for hope today. Grateful it’s the weekend and I’m sober. Grateful for all of you. :slightly_smiling_face:

Grateful it’s Friday it’s been a long two weeks to start the baseball season. The team has hit a rough patch, we started out with 2 wins and then have lost 4 in a row. Grateful our defense and pitching is holding us in games but we need to figure out the offense! Grateful to be on top of my work and balancing the season and my job with precision despite the weight of carrying it all. Only had one day where I really felt like I wanted to just go have a drink after a couple bad losses but I’m on day 429 and I nipped that shit right up and moved past the pity party and onto the next day/game.

Grateful for this place as always and excited to play the last game of the week today. To quote an old sports movie “I love this game, I like Friday night when you’re lookin for a win and Saturday mornin when you found one” :muscle:t2:

Thankful for the ones who went before me and paved a trail of sobriety, who share their wisdom so I can follow that trail.
I’m grateful for the lessons that life has taught me. For the people who played a role in teaching me those lessons. Grateful for the strength I have gained by coming out stronger on the other side of the hurt and heartbreak. Grateful for the ones who truly have my best interest at heart. Grateful for having the opportunity to use my lessons as a tool to help others who find themselves needing a reminder of who they truly are.
I’m thankful for Daniel. Who gave a life to save a life. Through his passing I’ve been handed life again and despite how heartbreaking that is, I’m thankful. I intend to see my sobriety all the way to the end, thanks to Daniel and his last act of love.

I’m grateful for TS. I’m grateful this is a place I can be when I’m an emotional basket case. And when Im not. I’m grateful I can vent here, I can ask for help here, I can offer support to others here, basically, it’s just so great to be in a community of caring people who can relate to whatever I’m dealing with.:pray::pray:
I’m grateful I am learning to not feel like such a terrible failure just because I keep getting tripped up by my same neurotic propensities. I’m grateful I don’t try to escape them by drinking anymore.
