I’m grateful I got caught up on this and the old thread! So much going on in all of our lives. I’m grateful we have this place, this thread. Grateful for the vroom vroom it puts in my soul tank.
I’m grateful I started unpacking some boxes of memorabilia. Mostly my folks’ stuff that I can’t keep forever and need to pare down, but I wanted to get a good chunk of sober time under me before tackling. Grateful for smiles and laughs-out-loud as went through things, a few tears too. Grateful for knowing when enough is enough for the day. Grateful to lurk on the declutter thread for inspiration.
I’m grateful for the Affected By A Loved One thread too. I’d be a frequent poster, methinks, if my ex-beloved and I were still a thing. Or maybe he’d be the sober one and posting like hell? Who knows. (No shortage of wine-glass-M photos in the boxes above 
sigh) I’m grateful I can work on my codependent tendencies on my own, lol.
I’m grateful wine-glass-M is a thing of the past.
I’m grateful for a meeting tonight, a cup of tea. Word games. Bath salts that smell like the forest in spring. Books. Art. Music. Feelings.
Can’t have good music and art and books without a few shitty feelings to inspire them.
Grateful to feel those feelings.
I’m grateful for all of you.
I’m grateful for another day.

I’m grateful to be able to learn every day
To be curious to find out new stuff and brave enough to try things I’ve never done.
I’m grateful to have a body that is working and still does all I please.
I’m grateful to have some “me” time in the morning with coffee and you all (loved all your birthdaywishes!)
And with only 15 celcius in the morning I’m grateful for my electric blanket 
Have a good day all grateful people up here!

I am superduper tired but grateful for setting my alarm half an hour earlier to take my time to write my daily gratitude. Grateful for coffee and dog cuddles in the morning too.
Grateful for waking up with soft skin thanks to my evening skin routine. Grateful for yesterday me who took care of today me.
Grateful my son arrived safe and sound at his girlfriend’s. I am grateful his dad took him to the airport yesterday so they could have some quality time together. My boy is turning 23 this week and he never wants anything, so I’ll buy him ETF’s (stocks). I am grateful he likes to save his money instead of spending it all, I’m super proud of him for that.
I am grateful for my car. Got it cleaned yesterday, inside and out 
I notice cleanness is a reoccurring theme in my last few posts. I used to be quite shabby when I drank: ain’t nobody got time for cleaning when hungover! I am grateful I have everything taken care of these days. My house, my car and good old me
I am tired and feeling not my best self (that’s an understatement, thanks PMS) but I’m grateful to know I’ll feel better in a few days. Riding this storm sober y’all, yeehaw!

Grateful for a short working day today and then a much needed haircut

Grateful to wake up sober again. Not doing well mentally lately and not sleeping well but at least I am going through it sober and clear headed.
Grateful to wake up next to my kid. Grateful it was a sunny day yesterday. Grateful my new temporary sponsor reached out to me yesterday to see how I was doing. I was honest about having a hard time and she sent me words of encouragement and support and is coming to a meeting with me tomorrow.
The only way out is through.

I’m so fricken grateful this morning it should be illegal 
I wanted to be grateful I’m following CJ and my universe is in order.
I’m grateful @Hopeful32 cut in and it’s a beautiful thing. I’m grateful being honest is also a beautiful thing. And I’m grateful each morning I wake up sober. And I’m going through it not drinking today and I’m clear headed. I’m glad you’re here @Hopeful32
It took me a long time to find hope on my journey. It would be so cool if you stuck around. 
I’m grateful I did get a great nights sleep. I’m grateful wifey got a thingy for the bed to help us sleep. I sleep fine! Leave me alone! I’m grateful I didn’t have that attitude of change resistance yesterday and graciously helped her put it all together. And I’m grateful I slept great last night and feel great for a Monday morning.
I’m grateful I notice my hatred for change on almost any little thing. If it’s not broken don’t fix it. I’m grateful maybe you can improve it.
I’m grateful for Google. Learned 3 new things this morning. I’m grateful I probably won’t remember but that’s ok. I’m grateful the silica pack I saw open on the floor this morning is nothing to panic about. All pets seem fine this morning. Hence the Google gratitude.
I’m grateful I caught myself going right to the blame game this morning. 2 for blaming myself. 1 for blaming the wife. And 3 for THINGS JUST HAPPEN!!
I’m grateful I don’t have to blame.
I’m grateful I don’t have to judge.
I’m grateful life just happens.
I’m grateful I’m leaning blame and judgement rob me of my serenity. If this was a meme CONTROL would be busting through the door saying “hold my beer!” 
I’m grateful trying to control things robs the fuck out of my serenity.
I’m grateful trying to “take care,” of people is exhausting and guess what?….Buh bye serenity 
I’m grateful for recovery.
And ya I’m grateful this thread has completely blown up 
Gangbusters.
I’m grateful this gratitude shit works and I’m back baby I’m back. Never really left. But I did miss a few days the past few months. And I’m grateful that’s ok. Because I’m grateful wherever I am.
Joy is the simplest
form of gratitude.

Hey All,
I’m grateful I’m alive
I’m grateful when I recognize triggers. I have an issue with online shopping when I’m trying to fill a void. It’s like drunk shopping, but sober. It’s not all bad, I have a ridiculous amount of dog/cat food. When my baby girl Riley passed, I was trying to figure out who to give all my food/litter to. I instead rescued a new cat 
.
If you need to wash your hands, I have 12 bottles of Softsoap. Enough laundry detergent for my entire neighborhood to use, and so on. The weirdest one lately is my green neon cat wall thing. My idea was to hang it above his kitty litter as a night light.
And since I named my new cat Alexander the Great (Alex), I bought a book about Alexander the Great. Have I even looked at it? No, it’s just sitting on the counter mocking me. 
I’m grateful I’ve added online shopping to my list of addictions. I’m on my 1st day, about 12 hours in. 
I’m grateful for my job, and able to work from home.
I’m grateful for all of you every day.
I’m grateful I’m on Day 35
Enjoy your day!!

Today I’m grateful the seedlings are growing. I’m grateful the cats leave them alone.
I’m grateful for leftover soup, still enough for tomorrow too.
I’m grateful for all the connection and inspiration here on TS!
I’m grateful I call it a day early and go to bed, I haven’t really slept last night. I’m grateful this post covid messed sleeping pattern gets better, it was the first messed night in a week.
I’m grateful for the weight loss challenge with my friend. We both already are down 1 kg.
I’m grateful I halfheartedly resisted a codependent action today, I stopped in the middle. Not doing good with emotions today, maybe the last days were too intense and I decompress in a bad way. I’m grateful for the last days, they were wonderful! I’m grateful life and feelings can be both, good and bad, at the same time. I’m grateful I see it as progress on my way. If I’m wrong it’s fine too because I’m grateful.
I’m grateful I need to let go, the hamsterwheel about my ex is hard to bare today. I am at a loss how to remove this intrusive thoughts for good. I’m grateful this too shall pass. ODAAT

It‘s the end of the day and time for some gratitude!
I had an exhausting night. But when the new day came, I was calm about it. Previously I would have dived into a huge wave of resentment and self pity and taken it as an excuse to wallow and ruin my day. I did not do that today. I am grateful I have come so far in my recovery.
I am grateful for this place, where I can read every single day, how others are dealing with very similar problems, and find solace and help. And sometimes help others.
I am grateful for my class today. The kids are all new and excited, full of ideas and somhow fighting this strange stage of life of growing up. I am very grateful I can be part of their journey.
I am grateful for listening to my body, my mind, my heart today. Taking it easy. Taking a nap. Doing a recovery yoga class.
I am grateful for life, how it unfolds, and all the beauty it holds in every breath.
A good and restful night to all of you folks.

Bed time gratitude 
I am grateful for animals, all animals, my animals. They have souls too. I’m grateful my little pack snuggle in bed with me. I’m so grateful that through the move they coped so well. I’m grateful that they were able to come with us, there was a moment I may have had to lose them. I’m grateful I did everything in my power to make that not even an option.
I’m grateful they love me so much and all each in their own way show it many times over and over.
I’m grateful my home is finished.
I’m grateful although it hasn’t sunk in, took alot to get here, I am here. In a better environment.
I’m grateful for healthy food full on the fridge.
I’m grateful I pushed myself to do the front garden.
I’m grateful for my children, although one is missing I’m grateful to have been able to have them.
I’m grateful for the trees and plants, I’m grateful doing the front garden made me excited to tidy the back garden (soon) but it gave me my green fingers back.
I’m grateful for this family here on TS.
I’m grateful when I need to cry the tears actually come out now, I’m grateful I let them and I’m grateful it feels sad but like I’m open to healing and accepting what is.
I’m grateful to be able to help those who are struggling in the cold homeless with food and water.
I’m grateful for my home. For a safe place.
I’m grateful for so much in my life and for others.

Today I am grateful for a lunch spend with a sober friend I haven’t seen for 2 months as they had an operation. I am grateful they are recovering as good as possible.
I am grateful for connections. I started approaching people again, I wasn’t able to do that in active addiction. That’s what I’m grateful for.
I am grateful for my shift in attitude towards housekeeping and cleaning. I am grateful I manage these chores with more ease these days. Not perfect, no certainly not. But I am grateful nonetheless. And there is room for improvement - I’m grateful for that, too.
I’m grateful for lavender scented pillow spray. I am grateful for Jordan North on BBC Radio 1 babbling on about his love of pillow spray. I didn’t even know such thing existed. I am grateful I treated myself to a bottle. I am grateful the scent calms my mind before bedtime. I am grateful I am starting to enjoy bedtime again, no more drunk passing out.
I am grateful for this place where I can share my gratitude for today. I am grateful for you reading it.
