Iām grateful for:
Finding this community that I look forward to immersing myself in
For my job which affords me both the time and money to look after my family
For the beautiful foothpaths located close to me. I do not make the most of them - but have been trying to do so more recently
For how Iāve developed over the past few years. My dad had a stroke, leaving him disabled and me as his main carer. Iāve had to step up and it was a real struggle at first but weāre getting there.
For the ability to turn things around. To my knowledge Iāve not done any serious irreversible damage to myself through alcohol and so now I have the opportunity to fix things. Iām lucky thatās the case.
Thatāll do for now but I love the premise of this thread. Iāll be back regularly as I need to remind myself of these things.
It is my favorite thread and Iām glad that you have found it. Gratitude really does help us keep a positive mindset and move forward in our sober journey. Look forward to reading more from you ![]()
Enjoyed the day with my sister! Much needed time spending with her⦠we made a delicious meal and hung out all afternoon ![]()
Sept 21 Today I am grateful for:
My husband being so kind, making me breakfast, ordering out supper, just being really extra sweet today
My son and that his cold appears very minor
Having the day off of work to putter around and spend time with family
Not having to rush
Clean laundry & clean dishes
Finding a free support group for my ED (will check out my 1st zoom mtg tmrw)
The walk I went on today
Good Morning Sobers,
Today I am greatful for the following things
- For waking up with no pain
- Sticking to my daily walks
- Quitting sugar from my diet
- Having a hot shower each day
- My doggy who is so cuddly and smooshy huggly
- My family who have been such good people to talk with everyday
- My body that hasnāt given up or packed it in on me and managed to keep functioning at times on a whiff of an oily rag.
- For the creator of the universe that made us so beautifully and magnificently resilient creatures that have so much capacity to do good and great things in our environments.
- Having a heart that loves to do good for myself and others
- Sober 994 days
Ok thatās heaps for today, my cup is full right now.
Doing this thread as much as I can to keep myself in the sunlight of the day.
Itās Monday where I am , itās Sunday in other places wherever you are I hope something you do today that gives you joy and makes you feel good inside ![]()

Grateful for
the driveway and deck
the move of the townhouse went so well and i got really nice feedback on me organizing the details and helping with my tractor
my pets LOVE to occupy the furniture, now the house is super comfy for all ![]()
purring Missi cat on me
dog slept on āhisā couch today ![]()
others rescheduled appointments, they fit a lot better now for me! thanks universe ![]()
paying bills
move was a lot cheaper than the original offer as we needed less hours
a stunning, beautiful autumn morning
tea
the kitchen sink is clean and the drain got cleaned too
laundry pile shrinks to normal level
boundaries and clear communication. I want to work on being softer in how i communicate. I feel like I was a bit harsh. That is not necessary, it is a remain from the past where it was useful and often necessary. This no longer is the case. I want to let go of this behaviour more than I already did.
dog boarding again tomorrow. I already miss my big dog, 1 week without my baby. It is necessary, he needs the social training and I need dogfree time as Iāll be away for a couple of days.
Again: boundaries. iām grateful i refuse to be forced into something i do not want to do in a way that is not a fit for me according to my values. Very grateful for reflecting on my values, my capacity to give and my (non)willingness to engage - no, i do no longer meet expectations that do not go along with what Iām willing to give and care.
hot showers and a hairdresser appointment on thursday, i really need it, both
yesterday ME, iām grateful for yesterday ME
as always: washers of all kind, modern amenities and my comfy couch
iām grateful i do the best i can
sisters and brother from chosen family, the upcoming wedding, the fun we have putting the gift together. it is a blessing to be a bonus child and have a big chosen family ![]()
taking it easy and going with the flow today. i enjoy the day, itās the last really warm day before the rain brings cooler fall weather

Today, Iām grateful for:
The warm welcome Iāve received here and the amount of kindness I see all around on TS. It amazes me that despite the fact weāre all brought here as a result of personal struggles, you see more kindness here than the majority of the rest of the internet. This is already starting to feel like a safe corner of the web.
The trailblazers - all the people here that have already made so much progress on the same path that Iām now on. Itās left me feeling more hope than Iāve felt in years that I might have found the final piece to the puzzle thatāll allow me to conquer this. I particularly love the variety of the stories. First and foremost I need sobriety for myself but I hope one day I can inspire someone else in the same way so many are currently inspiring me.
The memories and experiences Iāve had. I spent my late teens and twenties saying yes to most of the invites I could (despite being quite introverted and even a bit socially anxious) and now that I donāt have so much freedom, Iām glad I took those opportunities when I could.
The ability to turn things around. Once I was sober and then things changed, for the worse. But if they could change then they can change again now, for the better.
For the comfortable environment Iāve been able to create for myself at home - Iāve got mood lights, a mini projector, a standing fan, a games console. Iām looking forward to being able to enjoy these things sober (letās face it, I wasnāt enjoying them at all before as they were just on while I numbed myself to sleep).
For how much stronger Iāll be when I come out the other side of this. Iām hopeful Iāll be able to make up time on some of my other goals as a result of the strength beating this will give me
For my problems. It sounds odd but I read this Socrates quote recently and it rings true for me: "If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart
