[Tragicfarinelli]

Grateful to be sober. It’s been the kind of week or so where I would have drank my body weight to ignore the bigger weight of my mind.

But I’m grateful for people who listen to you.
I’m grateful for grace and pause.
I’m grateful for a cooler day today.
I’m grateful for my partner
I’m grateful for my fur sons, they are sweet babies.

Replace your judgments with empathy, upgrade your complaining to gratitude, and
trade in your fear for love.

Hello Grats!

• I’m grateful this morning. Got out for my first large social event last night- a neighborhood party. I thought it was safe because it was centered around ice cream. Safer, yes. Heavily attended by tons of unfamiliar people. I smelled alcohol coming from the travel mugs. Yes. I am grateful it smelled so strong and poisonous! I did not want any. I worried that there would be beer there. It turns out there was none, but I had NO desire to drink!

• Grateful I was able to talk with people again, and make them laugh. I’m sharper because I’m sober. I remember kinda being this person before. Because I was sober for a long time. It’s coming back and it’s fabulous. It takes a long fucking time! I could not be funny drinking. Goofy and sloppy, yes. I love the person I’m becoming - this way of life is worth it.

• Grateful for the ability to step back today and process. I got an invitation to go to a bar tonight and I need to cancel. A local person is performing. Too soon for happy hour with new people. I may never want to go to that environment. I just know it’s too early! 5 months sober?

• Grateful I can be intentional and do some journaling about my new wobbly legs and where I’m headed. Easy does it. It’s easy to get swept away. Being intentional is what is needed. Who? Why? Is it safe? Do I need to put myself in that situation? Before, I was impulsive and just went wherever the drinking people went.

• Grateful I am at this point. It has been a lonely 5 months. I had to basically drop out. Nobody and nothing was safe. Now it’s still scary but I can start navigating this new world of people.

• Grateful for hope today. That I won’t have to suffer the loneliness of alcoholism any more. Even in a large group of people, I felt alone and apart. It cuts you off from the world and from the spirit.

• Grateful my eyes are clear and I look better. My hair is healthy and I’ve lost all the beer bloat. New people don’t know! I was treated differently. Not that it was terrible before but I like it

• Grateful for 146 days and all of you

I’m grateful to be here today exactly where I am.
I celebrated my 80 days sober from a crazy long life of drugs and booze by taking all of my stickers off my guitar case. It was loaded with breweries/pubs and beer. I no longer want to market that representation of myself. Was a wild ride for sure.
So grateful for this place, you all, and my sobriety

[jbaldwin84]

I’m grateful for this as well. Love that you’re here. Keep going

[Laner]

I’m grateful for feeling like I’m coping with my bad days and emotions better. I’m grateful for a beautiful sunny day and being able to have a long walk this morning and then be able to sit outside in the sun while doing some translation work. I’m grateful for watermelon and raspberries. I’m grateful for good music that helps me stay grounded and helps me relax. I’m grateful for a friend who cares for me. I’m grateful that I didn’t drink today and that tomorrow I won’t be hungover. I’m grateful that I’m growing and working on myself and getting healing- it sucks and brings up a bunch of krap but it’s krap I need to deal with. I’m grateful that I have hope. I’m grateful for being healthy, alive and safe.

[MrMoustache]

I’m grateful for being healthy and be able to take looooong walks and shorter runs. I’m grateful that I’m sober and I don’t have to experience hangovers anymore. I’m grateful I have a firm relationship with God.

Today I am grateful to wake up. I’m grateful for the roof over my head. And I’m grateful for the sense of community this app provides.
