I’m grateful to have such an empathetic soul. It can be tough to deal with but things can be beautifully seen in ways others cannot understand.
I’m grateful for my mom and step-father during this time of getting my life back on track. Without them it would be tough and I respect all those who fight without that in their life.
Grateful for my Ribeye and baked potato I just destroyed after work.
Grateful for the people that don’t treat you different because of your beliefs.
Grateful for this community and all of you in it.

Happy Birthday Emm!
Stay safe if you decide to make the trek to see mom.
I have the same thoughts you do when it comes to my zero sugar raspberry snapple tea. I’ll have 2 cases on hand and still panic that the stores will run out. That alcoholic thinking gets me every time there’s a storm.

Day 16. Thank you, my friend. Today I’m really grateful that I survived from yesterdays massive cravings and I’m still sober. Although I’m feeling depressive today, I’m grateful that I’m still alive, I love God and sobriety is real.

I’m so grateful!
I’m grateful for everything!
I’m grateful for a peace and quiet morning.
I’m grateful for a day I can do whatever I like.
I’m grateful for a family visit that was wonderful challenging beautiful difficult at times, but mostly full of love. Lots of love.
I’m grateful I finally made it to a meeting last Saturday morning and heard exactly what I needed. As usual at meetings. One nugget of gold in one hour of meetings is all I need. I’m grateful this old timer at the meeting said his biggest problem is he is addicted to finding fault. Boy, that hit home for me.
I’m grateful I don’t know how that happened to me but I can see it as clear as a summers day. I’m grateful sometimes all I have to do is “Show Up.”
I’m grateful for this hangover free sober day and getting back to normalcy. Whatever the fuck that is.
Grateful for y’all.
Making “don’t go there” a mantra that we turn to throughout the day can change how we experience every situation that we don’t like. It promises empowerment and peace of mind. We deserve to make it our most useful tool.

Thank you @Dazercat and @tailee17 and @JazzyS and @Lisa07!
I’m grateful this has been my fifth birthday that I’ve celebrated sober. I had those 16 sober months, went back out for 8 months (nope, can’t moderate), and now have 2 years 17 days. And 5 sober birthdays under my belt. And you know what…?
I don’t associate birthdays with drinking anymore! What a win.
I’m grateful we really do recover. I’m gonna go wish that sweet @Button83 a happy birthday too. We’re twins! Except she looks a little more youthful than I

I’m grateful for good exercise and a walk today. I’m grateful that I’m getting better at managing my moods and coping with bad nights/bad dreams. I’m grateful for my job even though it involves travel and that’s something I’ve always enjoyed but haven’t enjoyed so much since trying to work through things. I’m grateful for the gooseberries my neighbor brought me- so tasty. 
I’m grateful for cuddles with my dogs. I’m grateful for lavender tea

Grateful for the new home I’m living in! It’s a group home for adults and I’m so very grateful for my peers living with me… They also help find apartments for when my time at the house is up… So psyched to start looking! Thanks to the psych hospital for getting me here!

Am grateful for your well wishes, dear friend!
And also the birthday wishes from @19801, @erntedank, and @Peace!
I’m grateful this day - which didn’t go a smidge as planned - still went well. I’m grateful for pals near and far and here too. I’m grateful to feel good about this age and stage of life. I’m deeply grateful to be sober for it.
I know I’ve missed the mark on a lot of things, but finding this place and all of you and finally believing that I am worthy of sobriety and recovery? I’m grateful I got that right. I’m grateful we all are. 
I’m grateful for another day.
