@erntedank we will be the TS sober gang celebrating new years together but apart
@Dustysprungfield so grateful for a sober holiday season… amazing work Dave. Keep stacking up the days
@Juli1 I do hope gratitude helped. It and laughter get me out of my mental funks. It does suck when you get into a funk so quickly after clawing your way out. I’m sorry for that friend. Know that you are amazing and doing an awesome job in your recovery.
@Pandita so sorry friend…glad you got to spend time with your uncle and make some memories. I watched Boston Legal for the first time last year and thoroughly enjoyed…a great source of laughter enjoy
@EarnIt wow! 1 year and so much has happened. A lot of recovery in this past year and I see many good things ahead. So happy to be a part of your recovery journey. Keep pushing forward my friend and celebrate all the wins

Grateful for another day to be breathing - breathing clean air without wheezing. Drinking clean water and eating healthy food. . Surrounded by love! An amazing family and my Higher Power by my side. . A lovely community where I’m blessed with good friends and a recovery safe space.. A robust cup of coffee to start off the day

Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

[erntedank]

Sunday gratitude.

Happy one year @EarnIt

Today I’m grateful for having a crappy night after going through this year’s pictures for a review. I’m grateful for the pictures I chose, for my phone to put them together to a short film, modern amenities. I’m grateful I was up early.

The living room had a weird energy this morning, like the smell and destructive energy from my ex was wafting on the couch where he used to spend his indoor time and nights. I was highly irritated. I’m grateful I did a long, intense fumigating ritual to release this energy and clear the house spirit. I’m grateful it’s gone and the room feels normal again. Grateful to know this are the last hickups of letting go and clearing my life and myself from the influence of our past. I’m grateful I put lotsa work in creating a good life

I’m grateful I did some work & chores in the morning, I fell asleep after lunch and slept for hours, completely exhausted. I love the days between the years where this is normal, relaxing and I enjoy it.

I’m grateful for a visit to one of my neighbours, nice chat, lovely people.

I’m grateful I took time to come here, read around a bit and express gratitude allthough I’m again very tired.

I’m grateful for peace of heart & mind.
Leaving some here, please help yourself if you want some
ODAAT

Edit to add: @JazzyS Yes, we are the TS sober home on NYE gang

Edit to add 2: The party I was invited to tomorrow was cancelled. Grateful the universe took care of my feeling unwell with attending or not and provided a solution

[Peace]

I am grateful to be sober and hangover free

I am grateful that i will not have that raging anxiety panic attack flowing thru me tomorrow from withdrawal when I go to the dreaded dentist. In the past I would have just canceled and got drunk which would only lead to more anxiety worrying about my neglected teeth… nope! Not doing that anymore.

I am grateful for music and starting to have the desire to see some live music. I used to go to shows all the time. I will have to consider if I will be able to handle it sober before making any commitments.

I am grateful that the for a short work week ahead and to be able to rest a bit.

I am grateful to be here with everyone

[SoberSassy]

I’m grateful that my dear friend has finally decided to give sobriety a try. She’s been wanting to for a long time and today she called me letting me know she’s on day 6 and that my journey has helped her take the plunge.
I have been healing out loud so that my loved ones can see that there is a better way to do life and I think it’s working a little.

Cheers (NA beverage ) to recovering loud and proud.

this made me so happy to hear and i’m so happy for your friend and her 6 days of recovery Keep shining bright

[One4theroad]

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I slept short but am well rested.
I am grateful whatever hit me yesterday my immune system got rid of it.
I am grateful for public transport. Even more so when it’s running.
I am grateful I don’t have any obligations this week.
I am grateful I have enough.

[eph-M-eral]

As others have noted, I’m grateful for these restful days. Mine are pretty quiet and slow. Grateful for a chance to catch up on much needed rest, to let myself just exhale.

I’m grateful for guilt-free (mostly ) binging on Loudermilk this week. And word games. Calls with friends. Gentle walks and yoga. A massage. Easy snacks. Naps.

Grief is weird. It’s like flying in a way, being catapulted to another physical location or reality, my heart and mind still in the last place, or somewhere in transit. Not ready to land in this new world. I am grateful for this time to tend to grief. And life. We’ll all arrive, body, heart, and mind. Eventually. And soberly.

I’m grateful for all of you. For this place. For another day.

I am grateful for your offer of peace of heart & mind @erntedank! I gladly help myself to some.

And I look forward to joining the best new years party on the planet…! @erntedank and @JazzyS , I’ll be enjoying my ritual of home, some TS, lights out well before midnight. The true celebration comes the next morning.

I’m grateful for your words, @Passerina_cyanea. I’ve heard “grief is love with nowhere to go” and it stuck with me. Glad there are others’ doggos to share this love with.

[eph-M-eral]

Oh huge congrats!
You have had one helluva year. Wishing you plenty of ease, more smells and tastes, all good things in 2025 and in your one-day-at-a-time year 2!

[Lastry]

I am grateful for
Good food
Time off work
Fun 80’s music on the radio making me smile and feel happy
Time with my Dad while he goes through his first Christmas without my Mom.

[EarnIt]

Grateful:
We went out for dinner again last night. I didn’t take a picture but am excited for a cold 1/2 blue cheese and spicy burger, even cold, even without full taste. Next day leftover burger makes me happy.
Grateful that I have noticed this morning how much more my mind operates when I wake up.
Grateful that today I will write things down because a full day shortens that operation. Grateful that I am aware that it’s more the accident than my whopping 55 years.
Grateful I told my friends I will cook for them tonight. They are going out nearly every night because they are working hard on their garage, while having days off. There is a lot of food here to use and regardless of taste and smell, pretty sure I can cook for a chef. Mwaahaaa.

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful we made it to Dallas.
I’m grateful she traveled and made it here sober too.
I’m grateful we get to see our granddaughter.
I’m grateful I get to see my son.
I’m grateful I get to see my DIL.
I’m grateful we have so much fun buying baby/toddler clothes and toys.
I’m grateful the kid is scoring HUGE
I’m grateful we get to stay in a nice hotel.
I’m grateful for sober air travel.
I’m grateful I didn’t have to worry if she fall getting off the car rental bus and break her neck.
I’m grateful we are both not drinking today. And grateful we’re probably not drinking tomorrow.
I’m grateful, presently, I know today is Monday.
I’m grateful today is the warmish kind of Texas winter weather. Presently.
I’m grateful I did this gratitude I needed it.

[Dazercat]

Congratulations Jené
One year and an ODAAT.
