Grateful for my sobriety. .
Grateful for the time I took last night, before a meeting, to go see the fall foliage and meditate on top of a mountain. Too many people for my liking and most of the leaves had fallen but grateful for the sunset I caught.
Grateful my daughter is enjoying her new recreation program. A lot of driving for me but it’s worth it to see how happy it makes her, how much fun she is having and new friends.
Grateful to be celebrating hubby’s 60th birthday today. It’s actually tomorrow but Monday is never a good day to celebrate in our household. No big party like his sister wanted. Just dinner out with those closest to him.
Grateful for my job, even though the stress has been unbearable lately. This too shall pass.

Grateful to be sober!
I got invited to visit with a group of people I used to work with last night. They were out at a local establishment celebrating a birthday.
I stopped by and enjoyed the visit with my club soda and lime. Hugs and laughs.
No FOMO and so glad to just head home for good sleep and my favorite early morning stuff.

I’m grateful I’m back in the house doing gratitude; it’s cold and wet outside, but it was a nice way to start my day with my coffee, cat, fire, and mantra music.
I’m grateful I’m inside, cat on lap, and finishing my hot tea.
I’m grateful I’m recognizing a pattern of projecting failure on another person about something that doesn’t need to be done now.
FFT Future Failure Tripping 
I’m grateful I can recognize everyone else’s timing is not my timing.
I’m grateful I work hard many times a day to be where my feet are.
I’m grateful for the rain we got yesterday. Light drizzle not much but better than none.
I’m grateful I got drizzled on during my hike.
I’m grateful we had a pretty good day yesterday.
I’m grateful Walgreens is not in my new insurance company’s network 
I’ve used them Forever. Now we are using a little local Drugstore and I find it fun going in there and browsing all the fun non drug drugstore stuff.
I’m grateful I texted an old friend in Austin yesterday and told him I’ll be in town for a wedding next week if you like to meet up for a walk or coffee.
I’m grateful I’m trying to turn around the fact I have to go to a wedding in Austin I don’t want to go to after the election. Instead I get to go to my old stomping grounds. Maybe meet a friend. Walk town lake. Check out a meeting or 2 in a different town. Eat Tex Mex. See good friends.
I’m grateful it’s a new swank hotel and I’m not renting a car and can walk or Uber wherever I want to go.
I’m grateful I’ll be getting queso.
I’m grateful I’ve learned I can have Mexican food without margaritas.
I’m grateful maybe I can go to Magnolia Cafe. Not the one I worked at because it closed. But the south store and maybe get a Love Veggies and or their queso.
I’m grateful I keep my mouth shut.
I’m grateful maybe I can let some shit out at a meeting later today.
I’m grateful for my alcoholic who really pushes me to find me a do myself.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon and AA speaker tapes and music to listen to when I go walk The Ol Burner. What will it be today
I’m grateful for peace and gratitude.

It’s a great way to start my day. Reading others and writing out my own has retrained my brain. It’s a powerful tool.
Enjoy your sunshine today.

- technology that makes it possible for us here to connect
- my daughter being old enough to take care of herself through a cold
- tissues, lots of them

Today I am grateful for:
-
another day of sobriety by the grace of God and AA
-
another beautiful day in the high country. Gonna hike our little white legs off!
-
the blue wren I saw for a fleeting moment this morning. It’s clumsy flight and bumbling, awkward body juxtaposed by its pretty colors and delightfull warble reminds me beauty can thrive in not so pretty circumstances. Or…maybe it was just injured
-
for rummaging around the car and serendipitously finding a “chess in the can” game set to play my son with.
-
that I didn’t drown away my disgust at my football team losing yesterday…at home!
Which cost us a shot at conference title, national title and Heisman trophy. But is it worth drinking over? No way José.
Have a great day brothers and may God bless you and keep you.

I’m grateful I live somewhere that allows me to have access to medical screenings for my health.
I’m grateful for electrolyte drinks and coffee.
I’m grateful to be up early, I haven’t seen a sunset in a while.
I’m grateful my colonoscopy prep will be completed soon.
I’m grateful I talked to my sister last night. She called for support after her 40ish year-old friend died. He was a big drinker who almost managed to turn his life around and then drank himself to death. I’m grateful I was able to share some sobriety talk with her until the conversation got too tedious for me. I’m grateful she knows drunks are tedious to talk to. I’m grateful we hung up before I got annoyed. It is unfortunate that her tribute to her fallen friend was to get drunk. I’ve done that and I remember the mentality. I’m grateful to not be there anymore. RIP Dave D.
I’m grateful for the existence of cheese fries. They will be my first solid food since Saturday once I am done with my procedure. I know I should eat something healthy, that will come later.
I’m grateful for this new day full of quiet reading and coffee in the morning. Even if it is a bit shitty. 
I am grateful for this sober day. Any mind altering substance I ingest today will be on Dr’s orders. Then a quick nap with a tube in an unpleasant cavity, then (have I mentioned 
) cheese fries. I’m grateful my hunger is only one day long. I feel fortunate today.

I’m grateful I got my cat plugged in, my coffee, mantra playlist, electric fireplace going inside and life is good.
I’m grateful I got to start my day with a smile a laugh and some good vibes from a friend.
I’m grateful I’m following CJ on the home thread. Life just feels orderly when I follow you here. Although it may not post right after ya cuz I’m so long winded.
I’m grateful I’ve been so stressed lately and fucked in the head. Because it leads me to take care of myself and go to more meetings where I find happiness and Hope with others who understand what I’m going through with both recoveries.
I’m grateful Laner cut in front of me with her gratitude and it’s making me smile 
I’m grateful for this little reading this morning. It reminds me why we sometimes forget and must go back to step 1
The awareness of the presence of the bottle had become more powerful than the presence of my Higher Power.
This is myinsanity, my disease.
I’m grateful to realize I can step 1 for granted and then find out I need to work more on it. And it’s such an easy step. Or is it
I’m grateful I get to go to the beach AA meeting on a Monday. I’ll take my therapy on the phone at the beach after. Get a coffee and a bit of breakfast/lunch and hit up an Al-Anon speakers meeting at the Pacific Coast Church.
I’m grateful for west coast recovery.
I’m grateful when I told my wife yesterday I’m taking another day of beach meetings she said “Good! Maybe I can get some stuff done around here tomorrow.” 
I’m grateful I remembered to tell my addict I love her before I went to bed alone last night. I could tell in her voice she appreciated it. And she said she’d be coming to bed soon……. She never made it. Fuck this disease!! She really thought she could. I could tell by the sound of her voice.
I’m grateful I had no expectations so therefore no resentments and got to tell her I love her.
I’m grateful I’m gonna be ok no matter what.
You gotta look for the good in the bad, the happy in the sad, the gain in your pain, and what makes you grateful not hateful.
