I love this. One great reason to live close to neighbors. I am on 4 acres. Neighbors wonderfully smelling wood burning stove does not provide any warmth.

I am grateful today for not feeling grateful at all. Today I was angry, irritated and totally frustrated. I have not had this negative of a day for at least 6 months. It use to be so normal. Not anymore Sobriety changed all that. Tomorrow is a new day. I have prayed and will pray more for my attitude to change. I need rest and calm. Ps right now trying to shut down and out but my world wonāt give me a break. Geez people . !!! Ug

Hope you get that break and start to feel better. I like what @Butterflymoonwoman says about restarting your day at any time in the day (not having to wait for a better tomorrow). Sending love and hugs and hoping you can turn this day around and not let the fukery fuck with any more of your time or emotions

Good morning sober warriors,
Im so very greatful for
My recovery
A peace in my heart ive always dreamed of
I wouldnt change a thing about my past as it has led me here to a wiser, sober, kinder, more peaceful and spiritual personā¦its ok if my mom wishes to change things about how she handled my rebellious teens. We can disagree and i dont have to argue my point. Let it be.

we canāt do anything about them 
Thank you @Cjp
Youāve inspired me not to miss todayās gratitude listing.
Iām grateful for this sober life.
Iām grateful it feels lonely and exhausting at times and itās ALWAYS work. Iām grateful itās ALWAYS worth it.
Iām grateful I know how to have, and I get to have, so much fun sober. Again. It takes work but itās worth it. Iām grateful Iām worth it. Iām grateful I havenāt seriously considered drinking an option for a really long time.
Iām grateful for the long scenic drive to Santa Monica through Topanga Canyon to skirt the traffic. Itās fun to say, think or write Topanga 
Iām grateful the whole drive there wifey struggled with her health app trying to communicate with her doc about prescriptions. And an hour later never figured it out. But Iām grateful I enjoyed the scenery of ā¦ā¦ā¦wait for itā¦ā¦.Topanga Canyon. Iām grateful in the end we both laughed and neither one of us forced our wills on the other.
Iām grateful we spent time in our old stomping grounds of Santa Monica. Iām grateful how they redid the Courtyard Kitchen we love to eat at. Not so grateful they replaced the little smoothie bar with a craft cocktail bar and I couldnāt get my rejuvenater smoothie. Beets and orange juice and some other stuff to make it taste good. Iām grateful I understand thereās tons more money selling booze than making healthy smoothies. Iām grateful they still had the espresso machines and the raisin turmeric toast and my salmon burger was terrific.
Iām grateful we moved the car down to Ocean Avenue and walked the Palisades down to the beach. Iām grateful we reminisced about our times in Santa Monica but neither one of us could remember dates. Iām grateful the traffic both ways wasnāt. There was no traffic and Iām grateful for that.
Iām grateful we had a great time watching a few hours of Cheers on TV while I made dinner. Iām grateful we loved Kamalaās speech at the White House Ellipse. Iām grateful this nightmare will be over soon. And then Iām grateful we watched some funny fucks on TV after to round out the night.
Iām grateful when I woke up all alone at 4 am wide awake the lights were on here. Iām grateful after being sad and tossing and turning I could come on here and play a few memes read some shit and eventually fall back to sleep. Iām grateful I could feel the downward spiral after a wonderful day with my wife and try like hell not to take it personally. Iām grateful I donāt take it personally but it hurts like hell sometimes.
Iām grateful during that downward spiral I saw something on Twitter and I thought āSheād love this,ā and I shared it with her and sheāll see it later. Iām grateful this is huge because no matter what. Thereās so much of our lives intertwined together I would still want to share it all with her no matter what.
Iām grateful for the beautiful 11 hours we had together before her disease kicked in and took her away from me. Iām grateful itās very peaceful when it happens and I am headed to bed anyway for a good nights sleep.
Iām grateful I had so much fun yesterday.
Fuck this disease though. #fuckalcoholism

Gratitude for today.
I am grateful for @Dazercatās gratitude posts on this thread. Every time I feel like I am in an impossible situation with my relationship with my ex, Eric shows me a point of view I have not considered yet. Thank you, Eric 
I am grateful my energy increased today and I did a lot of good stuff.
I am grateful my ex pointed me to a game development scholarship I might apply for. I am grateful I feel like I can try this adventure. At first it felt daunting, and I felt like avoiding the whole topic of making money with my art. But now I am grateful I feel like I would like to give it my sincere effort, but also want take this as a learning opportunity no matter the outcome.
I am grateful my daughter is finally done with her Halloween costume. Two more needles for her sewing machine broke today, and she had a minor meltdown. But the thing is done and looks great, especially the huge black wings she made. I am grateful she is so creative, persistent and loves these projects. I also am very grateful we live in a time, place and situation, where she can experiment with her interests and talents as she likes.
I am grateful for my rowing machine, for rowing training, a great yoga session. I feel like Iād like to amp up my yoga training a bit. Iād like the session to go longer, include more strength and new transitions and poses. As I am nearing the end of a 30day beginner programm I already am looking forward to the intermediate one. I am grateful I have found yoga, can incorporate it into my daily routine and have found those teachers I really love working out with.
I am grateful for video games, books, podcasts and all the other ways I get to experience stories and narratives.
I am very grateful my daughter has not had a migraine episode in over a week now. Despite all the stress she experienced lately.
I am grateful for the day coming to an end.
I am grateful for this day, grateful for this life 
Sleep tight sober friends

So grateful that you and wifey had a good time in your old stomping grounds. Sounds like a lovely day all around. Grateful that you did not hold onto resentment or ill will when the disease took over. I know it hurts (not from experience but I can imagine seeing a loved one in the claws of addiction and not being able to do anything to change that). Sending love and strength my friend. You are doing great in both your recoveries!

Thursday evening gratefulness ā or should I say Devilās night Gratitudeās (never understood the whole Devilās night before Halloween thing - maybe some research is in order 
)
Grateful to have gotten up and managed some work this morning - caught up with the rest of it this evening
Managed to get my hair dyed so the greyās (trying to get to it before too many greyās start to show LOL)
Managed to cut my nails and found that by taping back the skin I can get the entire nail - hopefully they will not grow back as quick (let them go a few days too long and ended up with deep scratches - this itchiness is relentless).
Met a friend for lunch (used to be our drink meet up) - grateful for my ginger pop and virgin Pina Colada. Too much sugar in these drinks. Why did the sugar in the wine or beer or liquor not bother me but these drinks are hell for my migraine?
My friend cancelled most of his meetings so we could spend more time catching up. It was nice but I really did want to drink to help with the pain. Grateful I didnāt give into that urge. I managed to smile and just be.
Did some yoga to help with pain but its not going to get any better tonight. I know this is my life now and some days are just gonna be worse (grateful for gaining good coping skills to deal with it). I do hope I am able to keep the social bit going as tomorrow is Halloween! So grateful that I have a simple costume picked out so should not be too hard to put together 
Managed to clean the house with my brothers help. Looking forward to friends watching scary movies with us tomorrow
My mom made some yummy dinner and dropped some off for us
Managed to get 98% of the garage cleaned and sorted yesterday. Few minor items for my brother to sort through
my family, good friends, my HP, this community!
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
