Birthday checking 
. I am grateful for the people in my life, (you all included), another sober year well lived, the up’s and downs I got to experience and cherish, a long long weekend and a spa day ahead of me. Thank you for all your lovely shares every day. They are a perfect start for my mornings. + coffee.
Hope you’ll get some favourable answers @JazzyS and you’ll feel better soon.

I’m grateful for the beautiful warm feeling I got this morning when I opened TS and saw someone way across the pond tag me in a cactus pic 
How beautiful it is to have this common thread and to be thought about around the world.
I’m grateful and still blown away about when I came on here yesterday afternoon just for a read and I got to fall in love with my son and how wonderful of a person he is and bask in that kind of unexpected gratitude. I’m grateful I get to call that up again this morning.
I’m grateful this is EXACTLY why I call TS a magical place. I’m never alone in my sobriety or my struggles or my happiness and gratefulness.
I’m grateful for the excitement and wonder of who will pop into my mind during my day and from what part of the world they live in.
I’m grateful for Insight Timer and Prashanti Paz. I’m grateful I put her on twice last night to go to bed and when I woke up to pee in the middle of the night. I’m grateful I murdered those obsessive thoughts of the things I can’t control before they even started to take me hostage. I’m grateful I put it on again this morning and stayed awake through the whole thing to keep my mind in the present. I’m grateful I’m not that good at it but like everything else if I practice I will get better. I’m grateful I posted it on the Meditation thread if anyone is interested.
I’m grateful for my readings this morning. Especially Richard Burr. Living These Days. Chapter 11
Instead of trying to run away from the present moment even if we feel lost or wrong, maybe we could just slow down and stay close to ourselves. Can we explore the possibility of taking a few moments to face any pain, discomfort or fear with more openness? Maybe we could become curious about our experience, examining what’s going on rather than immediately distracting ourselves or disconnecting. The great wisdom teachers tell us that when we turn away from our pain, suffering begins.
I’m grateful I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing. But I hate this insidious fucking disease. I fucking hate it with a passion. I’m grateful the more I fight it the worse I get. I’m grateful by fighting it I mean the fight to just live with it. Accept it. Fucking embrace it. Is that what I have to do? I’m grateful I’ve read and learned to accept it. But do I have to embrace it too? God give me strength.
I’m grateful for my other book on Detachment. Let Go Now. Embrace Detachment As A Path To Freedom.
“dancing around” the life of someone else, rather than leading my own life.
I’m grateful to know, yep, that’s me. 
I am grateful for where I am in both my recoveries. I’m grateful I can keep learning. I’m grateful I can eventually face more of my fears. I’m grateful to have the tools and support to do this.
I’m grateful for you all. Every day.

I am grateful for the lovely internet people who I don’t know & may not ever meet, these include:
Everyone on this app,
People from the other sober apps I downloaded,
Sober presenters on Tiktok, Spotify & YouTube who bravely tell their stories & give amazing advice,
I’m also grateful for my sister who is a nag 
she accidently led me to a path that showed me what sober looks like and how it might be possible for me. She nagged me in November to download Tiktok, a couple of weeks later I stumbled across a tiktoker talking about his sobriety, podcasts he listens to & books he read. It took several weeks of being sober curious & now I’m here 90 days sober & I couldn’t have done it without all you wonderful strangers.
Thank you all 🩷

@naomi thanks friend. It does feel like we do have a lot going on but gratefully we are all getting through it with some sort of ease. I am blessed to have the support around me and my family. Appreciate your sweet words 
@pandita OOH a birthday check in!! Happy Birthday friend. Hope you enjoyed the morning coffee and the rest of your beautiful day. Appreciate you thoughts
YES! This is key in our sober journey and I’m grateful that you are pre-planning for it. Keep up the fantastic work.
@lighter I just read about your salon experience. I’m sorry that the alcohol is such a huge part of “spa” experience and they offered it multiple times. Glad you held your ground and got a sober salon experience. We really do need to keep our guards up at all times. Glad you held your own. 27 days and going strong

Grateful for a productive workweek but I’m really, really glad my weekend has started.
I am grateful for some time off work next week, I am so tired. I think it’s because of ditching the nicotine, it’s much better now but I didn’t sleep enough this week. Looking forward to some relaxed days ahead and hopefully sleeping in a bit.
I am grateful my buddy 
loves his new dog food, glad I didn’t buy this big bag for nothing. Grateful for a new, super long dog lead. Now he can roam free without me having to worry about him running away. It’s also good for recall training, so we’ll get started with that outside too.
I am grateful for finding this crazy movie The Square. I don’t watch alot of movies anymore, so I’m more picky in what I watch. I liked seeing Dominic West play a little part in it, he was my celebrity crush when I was younger.
I am looking forward to a belated BD brunch tomorrow. I don’t really celebrate my BD but I am grateful to have friends that do 
@Pandita happy birthday to you!
