Iām grateful Iām back baby Iām back!
Iām grateful for my new avatar. I donāt want to be small anymore.
Iām grateful Iām going to be ok.
Iām grateful for the chaos in my life
Iām grateful for that quote above. As soon as I read it I was like Iām putting DC back in business. I didnāt even finish reading the rest of the reading.
Iām grateful the rest of the reading was kinda shit so I got through it quite quickly. And couldnāt wait to get on the home thread.
Iām grateful in my little world right now things are so hard. Wicked hard!!
Iām grateful in my little world right now I got it made! Itās wicked beautiful
Iām grateful I can take it one moment at a time.
Iām grateful for my cat and my coffee, for ten minutes this morning and nothing else. Except the 4 of us. Cat. Coffee. Me. And god.
Iām grateful I got electricity again.
Iām grateful I have internet again.
Iām grateful I have so many meetings I get to go to. Al-Anon and AA.
Iām grateful when things are really bad I get my ass in a seat. Or in the sand if youāre blessed like me to have recovery at the beach.
Iām grateful for the time I get to spend with Gus without Nana.
Iām grateful this is my chance to win him over
Iām grateful for the hot shower I got yesterday.
Iām grateful I remembered I got a casita and it has gas water heater tank and I could have taken a hot shower every day of the power outage
Iām grateful I wonāt be the stinky guy at the meeting today.
Iām grateful for my life and my little world and people need me and love me and that feels so good.
Iām grateful, it seems people are even happy to see me at meetings. And like to listen to what I say. Iām grateful this is my story and Iām sticking to it!!
Iām grateful you all are here.
Iām grateful to get caught up some day. Or not
Love you all
You are precisely as big as what you love and precisely as small as what you allow to annoy you.

Ya. The old man posted it twice. He knows that. Not an Alzheimerās moment.
Itās just such a good quote I had to post it twice.
Iām grateful
- that I went out today even when I didnāt feel like it and had a good time
- for good funny conversations with friends and neighbors
- for laughter, funny stories and good friends
- that I am sober and healthy
- that when I went into this ladies house for tea I was able to quickly see the problem and get myself out. And that I wasnāt even anxious in the situation but just thought to leave not caring much if I came off a bit rude
- for potato leek soup with cheesy scones to dip in
- for a good evening in relaxing and taking care of myself
- for a pot of rooibus tea and a cuddle with my dogs who are super cute
Today I am grateful for
- feeling alert and energized enough to write an evening gratitude post
- my cold symptoms lessening
- overall more energy
- zen buddhism
- good food
- mindful eating
- anime
- my digital tablet I can take everywhere and draw and paint and doodle everything with just one tablet and just one pen
- podcasts
- knowing multiple languages good enough to listen to stuff in different languages and thus from different points of view
- video games
- my mum taking my daughter for a sleep over
- my mother in law giving my daugter an interesting thing to tinker with and assemble so she had something to spend her time
- feeling good enough to tinker around with some code
- not expecting myself to be actually productive
- a great dharma meeting last night
- the autumnal view from my window with leaves falling and evening lights in the November fog
- this day
- this life
Sleep tight sober friends
Grateful for the gym. I always feel better after going to the gym. Sometimes I feel great, sometimes only a little better - it varies - but I always feel better.
Grateful for your comment Matt that bought me here. This thread has gone from my 1 original comment to it must be about 30,000 comments from so many beautiful people expressing their gratitude, how cool! Grateful to feel grateful today, to have two meetings and a sponsor meeting today, to have done 180 press ups, cold shower and gym today. Grateful for food, family. Great fun for romance joy love, dress hair, sunlight, clean water, a relationship with a higher power, prayer, nature and struggle.
You planted a good seed here Duncan and the community has taken it and given it flight!
Happy Friday you beautiful souls!!!
So very grateful for today! Grateful for so much ā gonna list some here
Grateful that i read a lovely post at 2 am when I couldnāt sleep and thanks to @One4theroad I have signed up for the challenge! No complaining and will try to find the positive to every not so positive thought I have.
for the @dazercat new avatar! Beautiful pic
Grateful for my Dad! Grateful that he did a few errands for me and that helped me open up some time to enjoy a nice walk with my mom
I was able make a batch of peanut butter sugar cookies for a friend (she really enjoyed them the other day) - She was able to come and pick em up today
Finally connected with my health insurance guy - got the insurance all set up for us for next year.
Was able to be available when my BIL called. Heās had a rough week and needed to vent. Grateful I could lend a ear
I am able to rest and relax for the evening - the phone calls were good but have drained me.
my family is amazing. they are always here for me and provide me with a lot of love!
simple peanut butter jelly sandwich is a great for dinner when iām too pooped to do anything else.
Grateful for my faith and my love for my HP! Grateful that He is by me even when I donāt feel His presence.
This Community!
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love
It is lonely here without you.
Evening gratitude
Sober sisters
Mom got the āyoure not THAT sick (enough for heart surgery). Come back in 6 moā hey iāll take it!!
Greatful my dads a retired doctor and can translate the seriousness of the sitch
Greatful i asked and they both played dumb and we all broke out into singing the ol witch doctor songā¦
Today flew by
Im able to speak coherently about complex financial matters
Im not shy and can go off in HRs office telling them how unethical creating a position for someone to step down into when we should really should let them go because they arent effective
Boscoe cuddles
Fresh air
Offered a job to a new guyā¦weāll see if he takes it monday
Progress rather than perfection
Love your family! Absolutely love that you all break out into songs! Grateful that it is not serious issue and hoping that your mom remains healthy and well
you have absolutely made my night!!! Thank you :hugs
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I went to the museum and bought new hiking boots yesterday.
I am grateful I could listen to the audio book and actually concentrate on whatās been said.
@JazzyS I am still unsure if I can do this. I then realised no complaining includes swearing which leaves me unnoticed. I will approach this in steps, one hour at a time what I notice though is that it doesnāt really change a thing, my mood, complaining and swearing. I will say, when I get myself caught in the middle of: ahhhh. And donāt continue. Thatās good.
I am glad that I see progress in the jigsaw puzzle.
I am enjoying a series on netflix atm. The main character makes me giggle a lot.
I am grateful I have enough.
Lolā¦so trueā¦I swear a lot and now I canāt say I wonāt swear but it is the infliction of the swear that counts. ā¦like when Iām happy and swear saying yes fuck yeah then that ok in my mind but if i swear in anger then not goodā¦still working on it and today is only day 1 so far. Not a huge fan of Ghandi but your words spoke to me ā¦so Iām all in with this challenge
I agree that catching yourself in the midst of the complaint and turning yourself around is a victory.
Itās a training exercise/ challenge so Iām sure we will fall and scrape our knees a few times but I am curious to see how my mindset is after weeks of not complaining.
Your puzzle is coming along greatā¦youāve lit the bug in me and I grabbed a hardy potter small 550 piece puzzle today from my collectionā¦hope to start it tomorrow.
What show are you watching? Laughter really helps us complain lessā¦Iām sure someone has a good saying to that effect (I just canāt think of it lol).
The author said that it takes people on average 4 to 6 months to get to a 21 day streak.
I donāt know what kind of personality she has. Itās great.
Now you guys got me curious. What is this challenge?
I have been listening to an audiobook about Seneca and stoicism and the author spoke about a 21 day challenge of no complaining. The more I think about it, the more I stare at it in confusion. Let me just this day.
Feel better knowing it may take me some time to perfect this. . Been working on trying to think more positively and see the other side of a situation when I do get mad or upset. Only started last monthā¦I like this more.
This show looks awesome and right up my ally ā¦was hoping to watch now but we donāt get that one here. Seens we have an American version which will be good to watch but I wonāt get to see the great acting you mentioned with the lead character.
Not meaning to derail this threadā¦
š«¶š½ So very grateful that I have some good entertainment to get me through the sleepless nights
š«¶š½ Grateful that I donāt have anything pressing to do tomorrow.
š«¶š½ Grateful thatmy BIL was genuinely concerned for me when I mentioned that I was getting rid of all my stuff in storage (stored at my parents home). He thought I was planning an exit and I never even thought of it that way.
š«¶š½ Grateful that I didnāt get badly banged up when I fell in the concrete steps this afternoon. My own scattered brain caused the fall and very happy that I was able to walk it off.
š«¶š½ Grateful for living each day with clean air to breathe, a safe home to live in, clean water to drink, good wholesome food still available to eat
š«¶š½ Grateful for appliances to make my life easier. I donāt really use the dishwasher or microwave but nice to know they are there if needed.
š«¶š½ Grateful for family, my Higher Power, for comedy and laughter, for forgiveness and healing
š«¶š½ All of you that help me through my journey. Just reading all these posts is super helpful and reinforces my belief that Iām on the right track. Grateful to have found friends who get this struggle.
š«¶š½ Grateful for the different time zones so we can always find someone to connect with and we truly are never alone
Gonna attempt some breath work and mindful body scans (so grateful for these)ā¦ hope to be sleeping soon.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day! Sending each of you so much love
