I’m grateful I’m still here, even though I’ve only been reading sporadically through the thread and not posted for days on end.
I’m grateful I’m still sober. I’m grateful sobriety doesn’t feel like such a hard battle anymore these days. I’m grateful sobriety still feels so very much rewarding every day.
I’m grateful the Easter holidays are finally over and it’s back to routine at schools and colleges, and through proxy also back to routine at my gym.
I’m grateful for my cozy bed, hot water bottle and a good book to read.
I am grateful for that thunderstorm storm today. The lightning, the wall-shaking thunder, the torrential rain and the hail that collected in heaps in my backyard. I’m grateful for natures breathtaking spectacle today.

@shel75 Lovely to see you on the gratitude thread. Definitely a great practice that helps me daily (even on days I can’t post and just come here to soak in other’s gratitude’s).
@john_connor1337 Great work on your 2 days of sobriety my friend. Tough love can sting and can take time to get used to. Yes – everyone here is rooting for you and wants the best for you. You are dealing with a lot in your recovery. I am sorry for all that you have endured in your past. You are working diligently on yourself and do realize that things don’t change overnight (not your addiction, not your mental or physical relations with your addiction and not your recovery in whole) – everything takes patience and time. We are here with you on your journey. Great to see you being so active and lovely to see you showing up for yourself each and every day!

I am so grateful for finalizing all the taxes today. So great to have it behind me. This year i got all my paperwork in early Jan and then let go. I knew it would be down to the wire for my accountant and i am grateful i did not let it stress me out. She is awesome and i knew she would get it done.

I’m grateful for a thunder and lightning show today 
I’m grateful I’m one day vape/nicotine free and I never have to go through that day 1 again if I choose not to.
I’m grateful I know I’m probably not going to have the best night’s sleep due to nicotine withdrawal (heart is racing and feel tense for no reason), but, I am prepared, have a good book and it is worth it.
I’m grateful for this community, the suggestions, support and care I feel every day.

Grateful to be planning my first trip in sobriety in June to see a sober friend in another state. It’s the perfect way to start traveling again. I have lots of time to focus on my recovery and nothing else, first.
Grateful to go to bed sober.

Grateful for:
- Day 108.
- Conversing with a presentation coordinator for PFLAG. There will be a ton more through Pride and Summer.
- Proud to hold on to my PFLAG role and depend on my great board to back me up and help me out. It’s something I don’t usually hand off - a lot!
- Proud of my daughter for asking me what I wanted for dinner, she did DoorDash, which I rarely do, tastebuds or not.
- Proud of all of this thread, this forum, people trying to get and stay sober.
- I am grateful for me and my desire to help people, like has always been a big deal.

I’m grateful to God for guiding me and helping me abstain from drugs and alcohol for the last 433 days. I’m grateful I have healthy connections with my family and friends on here, at work, Church, at recovery meetings and in my building with my neighbors. I’m grateful for music that makes me smile, sing, dance and feel all the feels. I’m grateful for prayer and meditation that helps me heal, grow and relax. I’m grateful for laughter, the best medicine. Why shouldn’t you write with a broken pencil? Because its pointless. 
I’m grateful for sports to watch like the PGA masters over the past weekend, the NBA playoffs starting tomorrow, Blue Jays baseball, Nhl playoffs start soon, for riding my bike to work, taking nature walks by myself and sometimes with others, for NA volleyball every Monday evening, that I have golf clubs, a baseball glove and hockey skates. I’m grateful to be back in the sports department at work. I’m grateful for my sponsor and sponsees that support and challenge me to do the work at getting better. I’m grateful for cuddles with my beautiful white kitty the Angel of Peace and that he likes to be the little spoon when I am falling asleep. I’m grateful for boundaries and that I implement them and not bull doze through everyone else’s.
May our higher powers give us opportunities to live our best life.
p.s. You are amazing, keep moving forward. Ya you!!

I am grateful for good news in the mail inbox at the start of the week.
I am grateful I love my job and it gives me a sense of purpose.
I am grateful I got rid of the opera song that was stuck in my head yesterday. I hate when that happens, because obviously it’s not a good idea to try to sing it with people around.
I am grateful for the time spent in the pool and the stillness of the mind that comes with repetitive strokes.
I am grateful for the smell of lilac and birdsong in the trees in front of my house. Grateful for today. Again and again.

I’m grateful for the smiling grin you just put on my face for my gratitude @Cjp “ya you are young and you are doing it!!”
I’m grateful to be sober on this gorgeous first time trip to Italy. I’m grateful they get to drink a lot of wine and I have zero desire and I don’t mind everyone enjoying their wine. I’m grateful everyone has a good time. I’m grateful they pick up my wine glass so I only have to say “No Grazie.” Once. Three times a day 
I’m grateful I can still enjoy the aroma and appreciate the wine label and enjoy the winemakers enthusiasm of telling us about his product. I’m grateful I can see the enthusiasm in his hands and arms as he waves them about in his spiel.
Good morning @Pandita
I’m grateful I got rid of “Volare, 
” ear worm in my head from last night from everyone singing on the bus. I’m grateful that was fun.
I’m grateful to be sitting in the Tuscan sun on a hillside lusting to the doves talk to each other, (Grateful they speak the same language as in America,) and the tractor and song birds in the distance. Grateful for all the spring blooms and flowers and tulips and poppies.
I’m grateful I get to have my coffee and warm up in the sun while wifey sleeps in.
I’m grateful the rooster is late.
I’m grateful for the village church bells.
I’m grateful our driver is very skilled on these country hilly roads in our tour bus. I’m grateful the tour guides are very passionate about their job and seeing that we have a great time. I’m grateful it’s a very small group and we get to enjoy it with our dear friends. I’m grateful it was our dear friends that invited us to come with them.
I’m grateful it’s time for breakfast with friends alfresco 
Making the decision to thoroughly enjoy this or any other day is pretty simple. It relies on our willingness to not let the actions of others take over our minds. We are in charge of what we think, what we say, what we do. Grabbing hold of this principle will change everything.

Im grateful I was able to talk about the pride she was feeling with her and explain that she feels so proud because she did a hard thing, overcame fear and learnt something.
Grateful I got to see her so happy for the rest of the day till I went to work.

Grateful to see new members trying out this thread, I hope it brings them as much joy and insight as it brings me.
Grateful to read and smile about your stories. I can see @Dazercat sitting by the Cypress trees, nipping his Italian coffee. @Cjp, having a good time at her concert, trying to keep her eyes open 
@LAB hitting 9-0-0 (!) days (congratufreakinglations!) @MrFantastik creating core memories with his youngest daughter. @50ber working those muscles, hitting that gym hard. @Pandita singing opera when nobody asked @tailee17 getting her hip surgery soon. @I.cant.We.can who works his recovery but also helps others in theirs. And always reminds us how amazing we are.
I can go on and on but I just wanted to make a point that it’s not only about my own gratitude, it’s also about reading all of yours. I’ve read here everyday for over four months and not planning on quiting anytime soon
