:hugs: That’s what I love so much on this thread. Connection, nodding ā€œme tooā€ and sometimes things make us smile :100:

Great option! I would be lost without tea :teapot: Great teamug!!! :heart_eyes:

Thursday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful for a good day.

  • Deep cleaned litterbox
  • Loved my annoying dog, full moon is coming
  • Red furball ate well, still worried about his weight loss
  • Paving proceeds, it’s unbelievable, I’m absolutely stunned about the speed they work.
  • My place already looking georgeous from the street
  • A friend with a fig tree, recipe ideas and me trying them :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Is there a word like jam-curious?
  • Tea
  • Modern amenities
  • Rest
  • Therapy, it helped me a lot and I feel way better
  • Chilling on the couch
  • Fresh fruit
  • Icecream
  • My comfy sneakers
  • Showers
  • Smiles and laughter
  • Sober bedtime

I’m grateful that I’m kind to myself and enjoy my life :folded_hands:

Grateful tomorrow is one week! :heart_hands:t3: Sooo grateful for this community.

:clap: Grateful to go back to group tomorrow and that it’s Friday!! I got soooo much done today. I still need to do a few more things this wknd, but I tackled some shit today that I’ve wanted to do so for months. It’s so cathartic.

I’m grateful that one of my old best friends from teens/early adulthood sent a very supportive and informative text today. She’s so lovely.

I’m soooo tired…thankful for my bed and that group is a half hour later tomorrow!

Goodnight! :full_moon:

Today I’m just grateful that my sister’s scan showed she is clean except for the tumour on her breast and two small nodules in the armpit. No cancer cells beyond those. She’s starting treatment next week.

So grateful for good doctors and for the mercy of God.

This morning, I am grateful that I don’t have a hangover and that I was able to smile as I looked at the blue sky. I want to plan my day well with a good cup of coffee.
Thank you to all of you who are like guardians of my sobriety, and have a great day!

Thank you @Nomad620 for putting into words what I needed to mentally organize last night.

This is what we need to know when the emotions that trigger the urge to drink alcohol block us. As the word suggests, ā€œemotionā€ means movement. They won’t stay blocked, you’re absolutly right of course. It’s drinking alcohol that traps us in a particular emotion. @JazzyS told me that already.

Anyway, I’m glad to have found your post, which is helping me move forward.

Have a good day.

Grateful for coffee, grateful for still being sober, grateful that my brain finally seems to be letting go of my drug of choice.

Grateful that I haven’t had many powerful cravings lately! I can feel that my mind isn’t really caring about that substance anymore. :smiley:

I often prayed to God during that 4 years of addiction that I’d make it out alive, and I’m finally getting there. Now 1 month sober :slight_smile:

I truly must stay away from my drug of choice. I now know that even doing 1 line/dose of it would reset my mind back into active addiction and I really can’t have that :slight_smile:

Grateful:

That I refused to listen to myself to avoid this thread. Gratitude matters, so sayeth the people and science.

Property landing in my lap, if needed.

Hope and its major piece of importance.

Ability to live anywhere. Thanks families and Air Force.

Structure and knowing that I need to operate that. Great imagination or not, I am thankful I know it doesn’t work properly.

YOU, always you.
