Today I’m even more confused and irritated than the last days. I’m grateful I did all the necessary chores & shopping. I’m grateful for coupons, saved some bucks on the expensive catlitter.
I’m grateful I care about tomorrow ME. She will be happy to have a clean & tidy kitchen in the morning and her favourite tea cup will be washed. I’m grateful I’m kind to myself. Felt insecure and unstable after a long nap in the afternoon. I’m grateful I took a short walk around the farm and did more outside decorating. I’m grateful I fired the furnace all day, the hot water buffers were cold and I needed a warm house. I’m grateful I can leave fetching & storing logs for tomorrow, I felt tired and some kind of unwell. Hope to sleep it off. My acheing thumb drives me crazy today. I need more adulting and call the doctor, after 2 months that will not go away by it’s own.
I’m grateful for the long, hot shower after walking in the cold wind. Grateful for this sunny day. Grateful for the warm shawl I knitted last winter.
I’m grateful for catlove and catfun. I laugh every day and my home-TV program is watching the cats doing what they do. The stolen dates are still good for multiple playsessions per day
I’m grateful for my wonderful, comfy, cozy house where I feel safe and secure, where I feel home, where it is peaceful and warm and quiet. Thankful for living alone knowing this kind of peaceful would not be able with my ex living together. Why do humans forget the bad, worse & ugly so fast? I’m grateful I don’t allow me what-if-mimimi. I’m grateful for my life as it is at the moment ODAAT
I am grateful to know this is a place I have been missing.
I am grateful to know that gratitude matters each and every day.
Grateful for the health of both of my kidlets, though one is barely speaking to me. I do not know why but I know she is healthy with a home.
Grateful I am currently staying with 20+ years friends, who allowed both my puppers and offer all the things they think I want. I need to not let it make me irritated. It’s her personality. I am grateful I wake up to darker coffee beans because even without tasting, I was just talking about how much I prefer all the dark roasts and BOOM, a big ass bag from Costco - one thing, and so much gluten free things. Grateful she keeps saying…“Oh, you will taste. Maybe not today, but I am ready when you do.” Grateful she is a trained chef, even though she didn’t stay with it at work.
Grateful they have grown so much professionally and are kicking the world’s income ass.
Grateful I don’t even want a house in a neighborhood like this. I like forests, acreage, wildlife.
Grateful that each time I type here I think…I need to move on that!
I miss you. I miss this.
Know it or not, they are people on here I love so much. Never met in person. You don’t have to. You know what you love. And I believe that you all know who you are.
Hugs. Love. Have a great day. Yesterday was 11 sober months. Whoop on that!
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for insulin. I am glad I have a friend who knows my problems and she replied to me this morning with: uhhh, respect for getting out the insulin hammer. I learnt from her nicht kleckern, sondern klotzen. In these situations lots helps lots.
I am grateful I managed a hike.
I am grateful I had a calm call with my mom.
@TrustyBird enjoy your time off of work! Anything fun planned? @erntedank how are you doing today? Sorry yesterday was such a meh day. Much love my friend @EarnIt great to see you posting Jene. You have been missed. I love friends that are caring and loving . Great for kind gestures. Very thoughtful to bring you delicious coffee

I’m grateful I’m up too early after a great nights sleep.
I’m grateful I’m finally getting around to gratitude.
I’m grateful I listen to this Al-Anon speaker on my walk yesterday and listened to her step 4 someone through an issue. And I actually thought well this is stupid. ( this person gave someone a gift and this person expected …….) STOP RIGHT THERE! Expected?
I’m grateful I continued to listen anyway, even though to me it was obvious. Expected?
I’m grateful how the speaker broke down step 4 with this person step by step.
I’m grateful the expectation part never even came up. There was so much more.
I’m so grateful I continued to listen even though I thought. When am I going to use this?
I’m grateful as soon as I got on TS I was able to use that process right here on TS.
I’m grateful by doing that I reinforced my knowledge about learning this process.
I’m grateful we had a nice day yesterday. Sober.
I’m grateful to be on a speaker thingy again where I just want to listen to Al-Anon or AA speakers on my walk.
I’m grateful to hear things from a different perspective.
I’m grateful for both my recoveries.
I’m grateful I came across my Just For Today bookmark. I forgot all about it.
JUST FOR TODAY I will try to live through this day
only, and not tackle all my problems at once. I can do something for 12 hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
that I am sober and am working hard to keep sober and better my mental health
for my online counselor who I feel like I click with and feel comfortable to talk to
that I have found a family here…they may not be blood but they are the best family I can ask for. They are caring, supportive and encouraging. They don’t judge me but accept me for who I am. I am SO thankful for them.
for having today to relax having a morning hike, going to Sunday group and then enjoying the snowy day by cuddling with the dogs with cups of tea and a good book
for my job and this new project
that I have hope
for bad sleep and for good sleep…hate those bad sleep nights but if I’m not grateful in someway I’m just annoyed
Today was way better than yesterday. I slept well allthough nightmares still bother me. But this is for the FRO thread.
I’m grateful I was up way too early and enjoyed the morning, decorated, had an extra pot of tea and went for a walk at dawn. I’m grateful for this quiet hour in the clear, crisp air.
I’m grateful for home-cooked meals, for knitting, for service on tv. I’m grateful I practiced with the green wonderwuzzi and stocked logs into the furnace room. I’m grateful I spray-coloured a candleholder as the original colour drove me nuts but I like the form.
Grateful for friends reaching out to me. Grateful for sharing Advent wreaths in the chosen family whatsapp group. Lovely.
Grateful I call it a day and go to sleep very early. I’m tired and I need my bed now. ODAAT
Today has been a really hard day, but I’m so grateful for this community. I’m so grateful that you lifted me up, offered kind and encouraging words. I’m grateful that my cravings are almost gone and I can focus on reading a book and listening to soothing music. And as always, I’m grateful to be sober. ODAAT. Thank you, peeps!
Grateful for my sobriety. Seeing the counter at 1900 days was a nice surprise. I don’t check it often, but looking forward to the day I hit 2000. Never imagined I’d go from counting by tens, to hundreds and now thousands. That’s crazy! Grateful I still remember those single digit awful days. Grateful I never have to feel that bad ever again.
Grateful for all the kind amazing people on this forum.Grateful for my AA friendships. Having such caring and compassionate people in my life, here and irl makes this journey so much better.
Grateful for new car smell. Had a bit of buyers remorse yesterday but glad it passed with some self talk that went something like this…I work hard, and deserve something nice for myself. I need reliable transportation to make a living and get to meetings for my dose of medicine. Winter is upon us and the thought of breaking down in the cold is scary.
Grateful my daughter enjoyed another night out with other disabled adults. They went to see a musical. Grateful I didn’t complain when I had to pick her up at 11pm (way past my bedtime). Grateful I had enough energy to stay up and listen to her tell me all about it. Grateful for her excitement after these events.
Grateful to go shopping today to buy baby gifts. One of my AA ladies is expecting a girl next month after long complicated fertility treatment. We’re having a lil baby shower before tomorrow night’s AA meeting. Grateful to share in her joy. Grateful it’s an open meeting so I can bring my daughter. Ladies only meeting so no dads allowed.
I love it! 1900 days is fantastic . Look forward to celebrating your 2000 days with you soon
I totally get buyers remorse and self doubt with big purchases… grateful you were able to talk through those feelings and realize you do deserve this! Enjoy the rewards of your efforts. ODAAT
For the community here. Heard someone one say yesterday all the followers on a social media account are not your friends. I do not participate in other forums except here. I do feel you are my friends. I love your posts and honesty about your true feelings happy or sad.
I am grateful to come home after traveling for a couple weeks. I appreciate my home so very much.
I am grateful I am learning tools to stay strong when feel beaten down.
I am grateful I can kick this down dark feeling with thoughts of my sobriety and knowing I am enough and happiness and contentment comes from within.
I love me and actually so confident I am on the right path with the best attitude.
My son who is traveling for work and let me know not to worry, he has Zoom NA meetings planned for while he is away since he thought he might struggle to find NA meetings while on the road and not being the driver. God keep him and his sobriety safe if that is your will
Paracetamol that is keeping the worst of this headache under control and allowing me to do what I need to do despite it.
Decent restful sleep, even if there is not quite enough of it. That is on me though. Do not knit past your bedtime!
another day of sobriety yesterday by the grace of God and this program of action.
for a nice afternoon lunch yesterday amidst new tribal members. Slow n’ steady but 1.5 hours for me in unfamiliar environs is pretty good. Previously I would have declined or said I’d go but back out at last minute.
for getting better at learning how the voice of the enemy (our mind) works. The subtlety and how much power I had been giving over to it.
that although my football team lost yesterday, b/c another team lost as well we get a spot in title game for our conf. next week.
Have a great day brothers and may God bless you and keep you.
