I too am grateful for warm and fuzzy socks. I am sitting here reading gratitude lists from others with one sock on and one to go. I am on waiting list for a hip surgery and putting on socks and shoes are the hardest to accomplish.
I am grateful that the surgery for hip will eventually happen and God is teaching me patience and humility.
I am grateful God is with me today in all things I do. I need to pay attention every moment on how and what he wants me to accomplish.
I am grateful for fresh fruits and vegetables for my juice regimen.
Grateful for everything that God has blessed me with. 6 months sober, being more present in all of my families lives. Feeling more at peace. This past weekend until today, was a bit hard for me. I sure don’t like that feeling, I did not have the urge to drink!
Grateful to be on the bus with my boys today headed to try to extend our winning streak to 6. Driving past the strip in Vegas always gives me goosebumps because people think our city is just known for one thing. I’m proud to have become a part of my community and a hard working Nevadan like so many others. Our city was built from years of hard working and caring people full of so much passion and determination for great things. I’m grateful I don’t feel an overwhelming temptation to veer off track here because I chose to become part of the community. I’m not from Nevada but I am fully “Battle Born” in my heart these days! Thankful as always for this place, see you guys on the other side of today’s showdown!
I am grateful to read the posts from all of you regulars. I love seeing visitors posting in this thread too
I am grateful for supportive collegues. I’m having some stressful days at work. Combined with little sleep, stress from my parents and kicking nicotine makes me a bit manic and turns me into the wicked witch of the West. Grateful to take some time off next week, cause ain’t nobody got time for that. I’m not myself atm and I really need to sit down before I hurt myself.
I am grateful for having a plan. When I’m emotional and stressed I talk waaaay too much. My plan is to 1. zip it, 2. really zip it, 3. let other people speak and 4. b-r-e-a-t-h. I’m dropping everything extracurricular and will only do the bare minimum the coming weeks. As my dear colleague (who called me stupid today, bless her heart) said: as if the company is so good to you and pays for extra work. Yeah, no.
I am grateful my son is such a sweetheart for letting me rant about some assholes at work for an hour and allowing me to hug him. Nothing works as calming as hugging my bodybuilder 23 year old son
I told him: today would be a two bottles and a pack-day. He said: I know mom, I’m really proud of you. I could’ve died peacefully after that.
My sister sent me a meme today, something like:
“Do you know that feeling when you just want to hold somebody.
And when you look them in the eyes. Taking their face in your hands. Pulling them gently closer. To whisper something in their ears. Like.
Shut the fuck up.”
She sent it while being at my parents lol. I sent her a Forest Gump gif.
I am grateful for funny Whatsapp convos and gifs. We love our parents, calm down Karen
I am grateful for being in bed early. Dog on the duvet, he is dreaming, twitching and crying in his sleep. I never get tired of watching sleeping dogs, so freaking adorable.
It was a weird, bipolar-like day. Tears and crazy woman laughs. Grateful to give my head some rest now. Nighty night you lovely internet people✌️
Grateful for the first morning shift at work. Its already lunchtime and feels as if I just started.
Grateful for no hangover, a few of the crew went out fishing yesterday and it turned into a big evening, a couple didn’t take today off and have shown up a bit worse for wear. Glad thats not me anymore.
Grateful for leftovers for lunch
Grateful for an afternoon to do some training.
Grateful for another day sober and hangover free
This is so beautiful You got me in tears I’m just sitting here soaking up how beautiful, my gorgeous body builder of a son, now father, is. And when he tells me how proud of me he is I’m grateful you brought me to this beautiful moment. I hope I can dry my tears before wifey gets back in the room. We do not get that out of a bottle. This is the best thing ever. I hope you sleep well
I am grateful I realize i need to chill with all of the caffeine because it is making me anxious and squirrely. I already know this… it’s kinda self-sabotage.
I am grateful i made a yummy din din of chicken, spinach, sundried tomatoes and bucatini. I should head over to the foodie thread soon.
I am grateful for a tv night before I head back to the nightshift tomorrow.
I am grateful for my family and to be here with everyone.
@maxwell glad to see you Maxine – great work on your 85 days! I am sorry that you are unable to see your grandkids. It would make me sad too love. Sending you all so much love. @davina_davis YEAH 90 days — way to go Davina! Hope you did something to celebrate your 3 month milestone @tailee17 Oh I’m sorry that you are still waiting on your hip surgery. I am sending you some comforting vibes and hope that you are not in too much pain @naomi bless your son – glad you were able to talk out your day with him and get a warm hug and kind words in return. Glad that your actions of sobriety are seen and felt. You are making great strides and efforts. And BTW nasty coworkers can just FRO!
Oh this is powerful Thomas. It is a blessing when we are able to connect with where others are coming from. I am sorry that you are dealing with the chronic fatigue as it is exhausting and emotionally tiring. Wishing you some relief soon. @jimz So lovely to see you on the Gratitude thread. So grateful that your mom is safely out of the hospital
Wednesday night gratefulness
I am so grateful for a lovely day to be alive and free of addiction.
I am so grateful that we got the go ahead yesterday to open up the restaurant. The upstairs fire happened last Monday afternoon so yeah it was a full week of a lot of calls with the city, fire marshals, electricians and health department - so grateful for my brother and his patience in dealing with all of this.
I am grateful for the amazing new way we prepared Tempeh. OMG - letting it marinate in some lovely spices before baking. YUMMY!
I am so grateful that i got my CT results this morning and even though my surgeon is out - a doctor reached out with clarification of the results. Grateful that nothing showed up on my scan. Unfortunately we still don’t know what is the cause for the intense pain. May just be a recovery of the surgery and may just be what is normal (i stopped all meds 2.5 days in).
I am so grateful that i have put in a formal request to be called by my surgeon. Have been dealing with triage nurses, other nurses and other doctors for past 2 weeks and none are up to speed with my case.
I am so grateful that I am able to help provide tips to my concierge doctor. She just had breast cancer surgery on Monday and as my mom just went through this 3 weeks ago I am able to provide some insight of what to expect and how to ease the discomfort.
I am so grateful for my mouthguard. Grateful that it has been holding up to my clenching and grinding. Grateful that i can use it during the day to help deal with the pain.
I am so grateful for the internet. OMG - a whole day without it was annoying.
I am so grateful for breathing exercises. Essential oils and lymph massages that help with dealing with the pain.
I am so grateful for my HP. Grateful for my connections to Him. Grateful that i can keep my faith even through these trying times.
I am so grateful that i am no longer thinking that i deserve all of this. Grateful that i don’t see this as a punishment for my past actions. Grateful that i am living a better life in all regards and have hope that i will be healthy and pain free in the future.
I am so grateful for my family. So grateful that my sister is coming to visit in a few weeks. Grateful that my brother and i are back to normal.
Wishign everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening – sending you all so much love
I am grateful for clear vision and intuitive perception. I am grateful for calm energy.
I am grateful that shit doesnt have to be fancy to be effective. I am grateful that small cozy spaces offer addicts a safe place to share. I am grateful we can keep each other clean if we allow that, if we allow the vulberability, the humility and the trust.
I am grateful I was/am tired of suffering so I havent picked up that first one. I am writing out step one again and I see that nothing has changed in over 4 years. Fancy that, I am still a raging addict, who has just found different ways than drugs to make her life unmanagable. I am grateful for this set of steps I am doing, they are crushing my denial finer. Each set I write is like a mortar and pestle and by the time I am done step one of the NA step guide there is no fucking denying that I am an addict. Strangely though over the course of a year I can start to become pretty comfortable with that and denial starts to sneak in.
I am grateful for the old timers who say ," Steps or die"
So true Eric! The improved connection with my son is by far the best thing sobriety gives me. I love him so freaking much.
Grateful you experience the same @Davina_Davis
Welcome @Jimz, love your gratitude list. No. 5 makes no. 1-4 even better right
@JazzyS Glad to hear the restaurant is open again, but I’m so sorry you’re still in so much pain. You and your family are going through alot with the restaurant and you and you mom being sick, but it’s beautiful to read you have each others back and to see what a fighter you are. I hope both you and you mom will recover soon dear Jasmine. You are much appreciated!
You got me in tears 
I’m just sitting here soaking up how beautiful, my gorgeous body builder of a son, now father, is. And when he tells me how proud of me he is 
I’m grateful you brought me to this beautiful moment. I hope I can dry my tears before wifey gets back in the room. We do not get that out of a bottle. This is the best thing ever. I hope you sleep well
