I am grateful for this day. Grateful when I woke up with a headache and a foul mood I knew this was just temporary and what would help: Reading shares on TS, sharing myself, connecting.
I have always read the words about how you can not do this alone, about how you need help, need community. I always nodded, it all made sense, but then it didn‘t feel like it had anything to do with me. Now I know, now that I have experienced this community here I finally understand why I could not do it by myself. I am very grateful for having the opportunity to learn that here with you wonderful people.
I am grateful I stuck to my plan to test out another trigger food, and I am grateful I could confirm my suspicions. I am grateful I could treat it like an experiment and not get lost in self pity and catastrophizing.
I am grateful I realise the discussions with my husband not only sound like a broken record, but are a broken record. I am grateful he will move out in about two weeks. I am grateful I will have not to see him repeat his own drama over and over again on a daily basis.
I am grateful for anime, nice podcasts, the internet actually making me feel connected and not isolated.
I am grateful I can - after today’s experiments - take control of my eating back. I am grateful for a peaceful evening 
@JazzyS I’m so sorry your friend died. I’m grateful the two of you had the friendship and the time together that you did.
I’m grateful for my dad, he has been supporting me through my entire cocaine addiction! I’m looking forward to the day he can see his son fully free from this horrible addiction long-term! 
Thank you so much Alisa - that’s a great way to look at it. Right now i am still in a bit of shock. Trying to process it and reliving our lovely times. 
Oh this was lovely to read - grateful you have some great support and motivation to keep stacking up the days. Way to go Eric!
Grateful for 28 days.
Grateful for a sober Easter weekend.
Grateful for refuge and peace
I read your post this morning and was at a loss to reply. I read most posts and recognize your post name always. So I thought about you all day. Although you post gratitude I somehow felt your struggle with the weight issue. I have this to say. I am not a medical professional and my weight is problematic and always has been. To be positive for exercise the last 4 weeks I have been in the pool 4 times a week 1 hour each time . I walk I float I dance I kick I swing my arms. Sometimes swim stroke but mostly walk. Yesterday I just tread water for 45 minutes. I am not watching what I eat although most my food is home prepared with fresh ingredients. I have to say I am amazed that prior to sobriety I had 2 pairs of pants that fit . 4 weeks later I can fit yet tight my prior wardrobe. I am awaiting a hip surgery and thought recently about starting a daily chair routine. Lots of free classes on line. You can do those privately in your own home.
Enough about me. I am thinking about you and wish you good health and keep positive.
Grateful for my Mum who is a tremendous help and listens with an open heart. So grateful to have her by my side. She herself has been through a lot with my Dad’s addiction. But I dont know what i would do without her.
So sorry for your loss Jasmine! I’m glad your mom is there for you. 
It a stark reminder to hug our friends and loved ones even more, as we don’t know when will be the last…
I am so sorry about your friend, @JazzyS Big healing vibes are on their way from here to there 
Oh wow…how lovely 
Beautiful picture Marty. Thank you for sharing 
Thank you Naomi. So very true… I am sad but also more aware today of how fragile life is.
Loosing my friends dad last week was hard but this death really hit harder. I think it’s because of the age 
. In either case I am still having a hard time accepting it as reality.
Thank you Davina… Appreciate your sweet words
When people of a certain age pass away, you can in a way comfort yourself by saying they had a long life. It can be still heartbreaking (I remember losing my beloved grandmother),
but losing relatively young people hits different. It feels unfair.
I’m grateful for slowly grinding through day 30 of the March challenge
I’m grateful my sore throat has started to ease
I’m grateful for visits from best friends
I’m grateful for staying sober while they all drank
I’m grateful for inspiring a friend to consider sobriety, just by talking about my small amount of sober time

I’m grateful I got up too early. Slightly headachey. Grateful coffee and Tylonol are doing the trick. Grateful my mind was racing with exciting good positive thoughts so I got up. Grateful before I sat down with coffee and my readings I got part of the floor mopped 
I’m grateful it doesn’t have to be perfect. I’m grateful I just passed a mop on that, always gets dirty, part of the kitchen floor where there’s cooking a pet things constantly making it look bad. I’m grateful I get the extra quiet time this morning.
I’m grateful wifey and I had a pretty healthy argument, fight, discussion, uncomfortable whatever we had. I’m grateful for the Al-Anon speakers app. I’m grateful I got to explain to her that yes!! yes!! yes!! I went to Al-Anon because of your drinking. Yes!! it was all your fault! I’m grateful I was able to tell her I keep going back because MY LIFE IS UNMANAGEABLE!! Yes. MY LIFE is unmanageable. I’m grateful I was able to tell her it’s not ALL about you!! I’m grateful all my struggles this week climaxed with a difficult, healthy therapeutic discussion for the both of us. I’m grateful for my alcoholic. I’m grateful I get to love my alcoholic.
I’m grateful my swimming pool water fall just turned on so I can change my subject.
I’m grateful I made hard copies of calendars for April and May and shit is getting real. I’m grateful this move really is going to be my final opus. I’m grateful today I look at it as a challenge to make it work and to let it go at the same time. I’m grateful I’m sober. Don’t know how I could plan to do 2 moves. Ya we are crazy blessed to do this in 2 moves. And do a European vacation that was booked last year, in a strange land where I don’t speak a lick of Italian. And she still wants to go to Dallas again one more time to visit Norma and get the fuck out of here in 7-8 weeks!!! Stressed?? I must be mad (crazy.) And drinking isn’t an option. I’m grateful this is my one and only recovery and I get to take this shit ODAAFT. Ya I do! 
I’m grateful we both loved last nights AA speaker meeting and had a wonderful dinner out. I’m grateful we both thought the share of the person going through a divorce was our favorite share I’m grateful I made a point to tell that person how much I appreciated their share. And that I needed to hear that. I’m grateful wifey asked me what I was doing. She was bolting outta there 
I told her and she said ME TOO!!
I’m grateful for AA and I put my ass in a seat.

The Twelve Steps and Traditions
Good morning friends,
I’m grateful to get to share in the ups and downs of each of you. I’m grateful for birthdays, milestones and achievements, and to be here as a source of comfort for the hard times too. I’m grateful we have this place. I’m grateful for coffee and a cloudy morning. I’m grateful for a slow day today. I’m grateful my son brought his cap and gown home, graduation is right around the corner! I’m grateful my daughter is doing better mentally, she’s had a tough year. I’m grateful I’m sober and can really appreciate and be present for them. Everyone have a wonderful day
I’m grateful for the upcoming day with family, being spent together for Easter. Grateful that my Mom is coming to see her daughters, and grandchildren, and great granddaughter. Grateful that she’s healthy and relatively young. Im grateful that I am filled with anxiety about this day, because it means I’m sober and know I’m walking into a hazard. I’m grateful I have a sober plan for today, and chocolate. Grateful for you all, as always!!! ODAAT
