Today I’m grateful I was able to stop smoking pot after two weeks binge. I’m grateful I’m back on track without alcohol in my life (day 21). I’m grateful I’m physically healthy and to be able to run and take long walks. I’m grateful I have a close relationship with God. In the end, I’m grateful I’m alive despite of the depression, anxiety and fear. ODAAT.
Things I am especially grateful for today.
After about 10h we arrived in my home city: Wrocław. I am grateful for the whole experience. It’s been a long while since I did such a long car trip. It was new and old at the same time. My mum and I used the time for chatting. I still prefer to take the train. I am grateful for the time spend with my mum and for having the choice how to travel.
I took a short walk around the old town. Tried to make the room I am staying at somehow nice, ate dinner. I am grateful I have this place to stay here.
A quiet evening is left. Some reading.
I am grateful for this life and grateful for this day.
Sleep tight sober friends
Sunday gratitude.
I’m grateful for a lovely, relaxing sunday. Did some urgently needed chores in the morning after a short walk in the crisp air during sunrise. So beautiful.
I’m grateful for service on TV.
I’m grateful I knitted a bit today. I’ve been too much on the phone playing the 3 games I have lately as they put my brain in mute-mode and require patience and focus.
I’m grateful for the big pot of soup I cooked yesterday. I got to freeze 2 portions and had soup galore today. I love soup.
I’m grateful I walked around while chatting on the phone today. It helped with my backpain.
I’m grateful I chew on plans, more a wish-list at the moment, it’s a good start to slide slowly into my new life. I’m still not feeling much besides relief, gratitude and a calm sense of freedom. I’m grateful I didn’t see the ex today allthough he said he would come over to fetch stuff. Maybe he did, maybe not. I enjoyed a full day home alone.
I’m grateful for catfun, catlove, mischief and cats. They are so sweet.
I’m grateful I fired the furnace and stored away boxes that are no longer needed.
I’m grateful I’ll be in bed soon with a smile. Nothing special, I’m just content and grateful and smile ODAAT

Grateful that my emotions are only a rollercoaster of poor moments and that it stops and sees positivity to happen.
Grateful for a Simon Sinek reel that talks about the trust you gain when you ask for help. It’s hard for me and I might rewatch it because thinking about it doesn’t handle the action.
Grateful for you.
I am grateful for another sober day, working on my parents house and my campervan. I am grateful for being in bed early and being able to get some rest. I am grateful for being tired.
I am grateful I didn’t drink when I felt the urge this week. I am grateful these feelings pass.

Today has been difficult. I was struggling to find something to be thankful for and then I logged in here.
Today I am grateful for all of you. Even if I have never interacted with you, you have likely interacted with others I’ve had discussions with. This is such a wonderful community, so thank you to all of you.

Practicing some gratefulness on this beautiful Sunday with you lovely souls …
Woke up on time for my morning walk but it was still drizzling and so I turned back within a few minutes as a cold rain is not my idea of fun
Went back to bed for a few hours and woke up to still more rain. Was able to do a light jog indoors
Finally got around to cutting my nails.
Got in a 5 mile brisk walk and luckily had my jacket on for when it started to rain 1/2 way through
a lovely yoga session to help with the stiffness in my joints
my mom made extra for lunch which ended up being a lovely dinner for me
my new bands for my mouth splint are heavy duty. They seem to be lasting longer. Grateful that my dentist realized I was missing the mouth adjuster and made me a new one. This is helping readjust my jaw in the mornings.
Pumpkin spice tea - I’m enjoying it in my Pumpkin spice mug
Was able to catch up on my accounting
Was able to return my new head lights that I purchased from Amazon. They suck! Were great for the first few days and then don’t even last for 2 hours and take over 24 hours to charge.
My family and how much I love them! Grateful for the connections we have and grateful we live so close to one another.
My Higher Power. So very grateful that I will continue on this spiritual path and work on myself to be better each day.

Today I am grateful for the quote on this app, “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.”
I am alive. I will continue to be alive. My kids are healthy and OK.
Universe has spoken that it’s well past time for me to get off my ass and start making things happen, whatever I feel passionate about, which actually is now and has always been a lot.
Still without alcohol, and that matters a great deal. My mind has always been strong but that was a tool to shut it down for a period of time. It’s been a couple of decades since I used it for fun.
Gratitude for this note to others: If it’s a problem for you and you are unwilling to give up the “fun” - trust me, that part changes for everyone.
Much love.
I’m grateful for the smell of bacon in the morning.
I’m grateful I’m not eating it as I am just prepping it for the Dallas clan to make it easier for Sonny Jim to make breakfast.
I’m grateful for Jumanji and how my son got the nickname “Sonny Jim.”
I’m grateful for movies and theatre and especially musicals.
I’m grateful for music and humor. 2 of my favorite HP’s
I’m grateful for my wife and all my furrbabies.
I’m grateful the Dallas clan is on the plane.
I’m grateful I got to share at the meeting yesterday about how I have to use all my Al-Anon tools with my DIL so we have a fabulous loving visit.
I’m grateful I shared how easy it is to use my Al-Anon tools on my active alcoholic but sometimes I forget I can use them on people that aren’t addicts.
I’m grateful I just noticed a new flowering bud on my lemon tree. And saw the old dead flowering bud and the dead one looks like it may be turning into a cluster of little lemons. I thought it just died and that was the end of it.
I’m so grateful I didn’t knock the dead stuff off the branch. Guess it wasn’t dead yet.
I’m grateful for the little things that amaze me when I have a grateful heart. Maybe they’re big things.
Hope y’all aren’t dreaming of bacon
The times when we can say no, in a kind way, rather than saying yes and then resenting it, will occur, on a daily basis. This can make the next twenty-four hours rather interesting, too.
Let Go Now
I’m grateful my Mom’s funeral went well.
I’m grateful I had so many friendly faces in the crowd. I’m grateful my old roommate turned up. I haven’t been the best friend to her since we moved out of each other’s lives, I can change that.
I’m grateful my almost full month of grief has been bookended with a funeral. I feel closure.
I’m grateful to be back to business as usual. I have an eye appointment before work and then back to the daily grind. Its a good thing I like my daily grind.
I’m glad we decided our second bedroom will be a dopamine room. A cool place to go hang out and listen to music, play with Lego or cool science stuff and just relax. I’m grateful I bought our first big piece of furniture for the room. I’m grateful it is brightly colored. This room will be rad.
I’m grateful I won’t be working on someone else’s house cleaning this week. One house is enough for now.
I’m grateful for cool fall weather and coffee.
I’m grateful for love and friendship.
Things I am especially grateful for today.
Woke up late today and took a long walk through the old town. I am grateful I am in this city, grateful I can walk, grateful for the great weather.
I’ve been having some digestive issues due to my food intolerances today. I am grateful I know the symptoms, I know they will be gone tomorrow. I am grateful I have a comfortable place to stay, and lots of books and TV to pass the time.
Despite the discomfort I was able to visit my favourite book stores. I found two interesting books. I am grateful I felt good enough to go there, grateful these stores exist, grateful I could enjoy this stay.
I did a yoga session in the afternoon. I am grateful I felt physically and mentally well enough to do that. Grateful I know how to adapt the movement to my needs. Grateful I experienced my body in this way.
I am grateful for the Buddhist teachings that are helpful for me in times when I don’t feel that well.
I am grateful for this life and grateful for this day.
Sleep tight sober friends
I’m very grateful for @HoofHearted who posted this, great content with link to interesting BBC document. YT’s algorithm suggested to watch also this video on quit drinking motivation. Truly recommend to watch especially to those who want to quit, who are in early days/weeks/few months of a sobriety…
I’d argue you are one badass sober lady
Carry on
Grateful you are with us in tact
Thanks Daze. A month is a long time to wait for closure and since Dad died during Covid and there was no service this feels like double closure. Back to business as usual and that feels good.
You are a pretty badass dude too. You guys save me every day. 🩷
