A wonderful Friday 
a lovely day to practice gratefulness with all you beautiful souls
I am so very grateful for another day on this earth. Grateful for the chance to heal my body, mind and soul. Grateful to enrich my thinking and mend my thoughts.
I am so very grateful for coffee. It is calling me this morning. I did not sleep much or well last night and need a boost to keep upright today. Hopefully when I get moving I’ll be able to gain momentum to keep going 
I am so very grateful for my family! Grateful that they love me and care for me and are listening to my needs as I am to theirs. We all received grateful messages from my sister as a colleciand individually the other day. It was so heartwarming and touching.
I am so very grateful for good friends. They really are hard to find. I am grateful that I’ve shed my life of the false friendships. Grateful I’m not putting energy into relationships that only take.
I am so very grateful for this fall day. Loving the weather we are getting this October. I do hope it lasts through Halloween. Sad that we don’t get any trick or treaters in this neighborhood. Oh well…we have a lovely horror movie night planned with friends
I am so very grateful for my ability to move. Grateful that my body is allowing me to be active. It’s not daily but a lot better than where I started.
I am so very grateful for growth. It comes in many shapes and forms and I’m grateful for allowing all of me this chance to change/ grow and become a better version of me.
I am so very grateful that my Higher Power is in my life. Grateful that I continue to have faith and want to stay connected with Him even when I am at my lowest. Grateful that He has always been by my side and let me grow at my pace.
I am so very grateful for this community! Grateful I stumbled on the forum portion. Grateful that I decided to post something one day just cause and was floored how quickly I received responses. Heart felt welcomes and it really was all the difference!
I am so very grateful for memories. I’ve been thinking a lot about a fear friend I lost earlier this year - missing her something fierce. Grateful that I have our chats stored and my memories of our friendship.
A beautiful day…so much gratefulness to share but I need to get some coffee and get the day started
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

I’m grateful for my cat on lap and The Burner by my side listening to Om Shanti Om 
I’m grateful coffee was good this morning and I wasn’t up too early.
Grateful for a good nights sleep.
I’m grateful for morning beach meetings and empty beaches to walk on after.
I’m grateful for clear skies and birdsong.
I’m grateful Mavy is demanding more attention and keeping me for thinking about gratitude. Listing it.
I’m grateful for a nice dinner at home last night and after I cleaned up I mopped the floor and gave Benson a bath.
I’m grateful I’m still catching on that I’m sober in the evening and can do chores like mentioned above. For the longest time nothing got done after 4 because. Well you know……
I’m grateful my wife looks at me and it’s like…why are you moping the floor at 7 pm? 
I don’t know? It’s dirty?
I’m grateful I know I still have work to do on being content. I’m grateful I tried like hell yesterday to just sit there and watch Gus play and swing and do nothing but watch him. I’m grateful I did manage it.
I’m grateful for his smile.
I’m grateful for his gorgeous long hair and his chubby cheeks.
I’m grateful for his laugh and the way he toddles.
I’m grateful to sit back and not force myself on him.
I’m grateful whenever Bob Bob (that’s me 
is mentioned he says “No!”
I’m grateful when he says No, to Bob Bob now he’s got a bit of a shit eating grin 
looking right at me and it’s too funny
I’m grateful to take the little fucker out to dinner Saturday night with his family.
Don’t just do something.
Sit there!

I’m grateful I got to spend time with my sister yesterday. She is a lovely human and also an active alcoholic. I’m grateful I can see both things in her.
I’m grateful for iced tea. I drank 5 glasses in a bar yesterday while we caught up. I’m grateful I walked out of that bar into the sunshine sober. I’m grateful I saw that bar for the sad time suck it is. I’m grateful I know not to go back there, maybe ever again.
I’m grateful I baked another cake on my day off. Chocolate and sour cream with some bomb frosting. Maybe this is my new grief ritual, a cake every day off until I feel better.
I’m grateful for grief rituals. My other one is to walk up this monstrously steep hill on my way to work. I’ve only been going that way since my Mom died. When my grief gets easier I’ll go back to my easier route.
I’m grateful I chose to not engage with my sister once she got too drunk. We should have ended our day before our last phone call. She wanted to drunkenly drive to my house and to bait me into an argument. I side stepped both of those things and ended our interaction on a kind note.
I’m grateful we talked a lot about how awful it is to be sober around drunk people. She gets it, she just forgets. Next time I will come up with a safe word or conversation ender to be used for just that scenario.
I’m grateful that 983 days ago I would have spent my whole night in that bar with her. I would have driven drunk. I would still be very uncomfortable in my skin. I would have fake smiled and laughed my way through the night and woken up sad and miserable the next day. I’m grateful that 982 days ago I chose to sober up.
I’m grateful to hope that my sister is okay, to know that she isn’t and to know that I can’t save her. I can’t really even lead her much. Our poor coping skills are enmeshed. I’ll have to throw her a life preserver if she asks and not swim out to her. I don’t want to drown. 🩷🛟

Haven’t done gratitude here in a bit.
I’m grateful for Jesus.
I’m grateful for my sister currently on speaker phone with me from Phoenix as I type this. We don’t talk much. I miss her. Catching up on how old we are, our kids, how we are both back in church. Just life and how time is going by. She’s happy I’m sober now. She has her brother back. I’m happy I’m sober too. I’ve missed out on so much of my family.
Tonight I’m grateful to be awakened from the lies this world feeds us about alcohol. Grateful to be growing closer to family that have become distant

Today I am grateful for:
-
another day of sobriety by the grace of God and AA
-
getting to see my son play hockey today and have him spend the night with me after a week at school camp!
-
big book work with my sponsor last night.
-
God’s presence with me today as I sit down later to discuss future arrangements and legal aspects of having my kids more often.
-
for growing my tribe slowly over time with the kind of people around me that lift me up but also hold me accountable.
-
the death of “self” that much more everyday.
Have a great day all. Everything will be o.k.

Good morning and thank you for reading this if you are.
I missed making a post last Saturday and I don’t really have a good reason why. Attending to this is important in my journey and good for me. So I’m grateful to be here again.
I have gratitude for…
My sobriety and recovery journey
The sobriety and recovery work that is happening in my family: my brother, my sister, my brother in law, and best of all my husband and I together and in our own lanes.
My health, both physical and mental, enjoying most parts of my life.
My safe and loving home. It is modest and often a bit dusty, but it is where I can be myself, be free of the distractions of drinking, practice self care and family care, and know that I do have a place to call home.
My connections to my work as a teacher. I work very hard, and sometimes I let myself get too stressed, but overall I do love the work I have to do and I am grateful for that.
My connections and relationships with a few close friends. I’m not terribly social. But I am grateful to have some people close to me that I can trust.
The resources that are available to us in recovery- this community, the experiences and wisdom of others , the understanding of how the human mind works for us and against us in this journey. The tools that are available to me that were not there in my younger days.
The gift of time. In recovery I find so much more time in each day that used to be lost to drinking and hangovers. My favorite time of day is the the early morning. I’m well rested and clear minded. I’m grateful to have found this.
The gift of peace and quiet.
I wish you all the best and encourage you to take a few minutes to practice gratitude. Whew! I feel better!

Saturday gratitude.
I’m grateful for today. It’s our national holliday and I watched some of the annual procedures & festivities on TV. I’m grateful we honor democracy and being neutral today and celebrate being a neutral democratic country. This is nothing anyone should take for granted. I’m grateful for freedom and peace and the opportunity to vote. For free speech, safety, a reliable legal system. I’m grateful to live where I live.
I’m grateful that I went to bed very early yesterday, the day was intense and so was the headache in the evening. I’m grateful the car got its wintercheck, the dentist said everything is fine, the tilers started to work on the deck surrounding, the farmers market provided me with fresh salad and bread for the weekend. I was really knocked out yesterday evening.
I’m grateful flower & herb seeds arrived this week, only one order is pending. I prioritized vacuuming / steam-mopping the floor this morning, I didn’t feel like being out in the grey doing garden work. Holy Molly, the floor needed this deep cleaning. I’m grateful the entrance door got a washdown, looks better but needs more detailed cleaning. And rubbing, removing spots of plastering. I’m grateful I honor my beautiful, cozy home by keeping it tidy as good as I can. I’m delighted and grateful every time I look at it on the outside, what a difference to before. I’m grateful I force myself to focus on being happy and grateful and stopping thoughts about all the work that is still waiting. NOW I be happy, rest of work will be done when it gets done. Not now. Basta! Now: Happy! No worry. (Thanks for borrowing the lines Bobby McFerrin😊)
