I’m grateful to be up early with my coffee on this Tuesday morning.

It’s just a Tuesday, one more day of one day at a time.

I have done this 900 times in a row now!

I’m grateful to have this community. Have a good day and be kind to yourself.

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 :laughing: @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 :laughing: @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 :purple_heart:

Good morning sober fam,

Im so very greatful for…

My sobriety
716 days free from weed and alcohol
Almost a sober baby from nicotine too
Got thru the akwardness of not drinking with old drinking buddies at the concert last night
Coffee
Money saved from not buying concert beers that are quadruple the price sheesh
My folks watched Boscoe last night
The Journey concert was fantastic and free since friends had xtra tix
I can go to a concert and enjoy the music rather than focus on 2 fisting booze and keep going back for more like a fiend.
Caffine
People who chose sobriety before me who give me hope
This fantastic community

Warm and cozy bed to sleep in.
Got hoses hooked up and watered garlic yesterday. It’s bone dry here.
Doing chores my husband used to do or at least help with and not feeling quite as resentful… working on not being so fucking resentful :smirk:. Man that’s hard!
Nice bike rides on nice trails in nice weather.
My cats, love them to pieces.

Good morning

I am grateful to have this one last morning of holiday with my kiddo. The last leg of our travels home today. I am grateful we landed safely in vancouver late last night and that my new truckie (Raven) was kept safe at the hotel while we were in Hawaii. I am grateful that we have some time to wake up before our ferry back to our beautiful island. And I am so excited to see Nugs, this is the longest I have ever left her for. Shes going to be so pissed off!

I am grateful that my sponsees kept in touch with me “just enough” while I was away. I am looking forward to hearing how everyones weeks went. I am grateful my body held out for a week without yoga, she is starting to scream so I am grateful I am home and able to start my classes again. Routine is so important to me. I may have what seems like an unmanagble schedule to most people but to me it is managable because it is routine.
I am grateful that I am neurodiverse.

I am grateful for the extra time I have had to spend on the forum again it was nice to catch up here and there. To read a bit on some threads and to be able to post my gratitude here over my holidays. I am grateful to see so many new faces, especially on this thread. Gratitude changed my life in a massive way. It quietened the evil, negative chatter to a nothing; replacing it with love and positivity.
Its magic. :dizzy:

Happy to see so many people doing so well, love yous.

Thank you for this day :pray:
I am grateful for all the wonderful people that grace my life every day. Everyone around here, my family, friends, people in Dharma Recovery I met yesterday, people at school, so many wonderful beings. And through my recovery journey and this heaven of a place I learned that the ONLY way to go is to share. Thank you TS family :smiling_face_with_tear:
I am grateful for designing and modeling and diagramming and loosing myself in abstract constructions. Grateful for tears in my breakfast. Grateful for rain, asthma meds.
Grateful for yoga and walks and a walkable city where I live. A life where I don‘t have to use a car on a daily basis, where I can get everywhere through the means of my wonderful body.
I am grateful for this day.
Sleep well sober friends :night_with_stars:

Day 109 and grateful I am forcing myself to read this:

I don’t remember much of what I read AND grateful I have decided that much I am missing can help to put me in the right direction.
