Monday gratitude.
I’m grateful for all the things I do, because they get done one by one and it adds up. I’m grateful my place looks tidy and christmasy ![]()
I’m grateful for the zero tolerance on bullshit rule/boundary I gave myself. I got to practice it. I’m grateful I spot the problem, check for solutions and let it fuck off when bullshittery occurs. Always have a plan B. I’m grateful I’m quick, strict and not afraid of trying the next alternative when the first doesn’t work. Yep, sometimes shit happens but no bullshittery in my house!
Saying this I’m grateful for my life as it is and nobody stressing me. Heartfelt grateful to do what is important for ME and doing it at my pace.
I’m grateful for my warm house, comfy bed and must sleep now. ODAAT
I’m grateful to have a washer & dryer to keep my family’s clothes clean
I’m grateful the cold medication is helping my daughter feel better
I’m grateful for my slightly sore muscles from my workout and carrying laundry and Christmas decorations up & down stairs
I’m grateful to have dinner with my kids every night
I’m grateful for hot showers after a long day of chores
I’m grateful for freshly washed bedding on a comfy bed to sleep in tonight
I’m grateful for music that makes daily tasks easier to complete.
I’m grateful to be sober
Day 12
This was an amazing day of self realization, reflection and learning. Not all of it felt good, but it was all necessary to grow within my program.
Things are going well for me, everything from business to my relationship with my family has been good. I told myself it’s from the “work I’ve been doing”… I learned today that I haven’t done any work! I’ve only been doing gratitude list, going to meetings, picking up a nugget here and there and applying it to myself. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to do that. I’m grateful that it’s helped me stay sober, find joy, fun and excitement in my life. I’m grateful that it’s got me connected with like minded people and this community. I’m grateful that I’m in a group chat with new friends. I’m grateful that I’ve learned that this is not working the steps but it is progress within my journey.
My morning meeting is an AA study group. I find great value in this meeting as it helps me understand this program in detail. I’m grateful that the people in the meeting are engaging, a meeting is only as good as the people in it. I’m grateful that today, I purchase the “Big Book” and can participate more in the reading.
I’m grateful that it’s my night to do the “Elves”. I find it to be an outlet for my creativity and that it gives my brain a break. It makes me think about the reactions my kids will have when they see it and that makes me grateful.
I’m grateful for the teamwork my wife and I have been displaying. The understanding and respect that we are showing for the individuality of each others day, makes feel appreciative.
My mind and body feel stressed. Exhausted best describes it, but it’s not physical, it’s mental. I’m grateful that I’m not thinking a drink is the solution. In fact, I know that a good nights sleep can fix my problem.
Good night everyone!
Grateful for a busy Monday training a new member on my work team. Grateful that I am able to display my great work etiquette to someone else.
Grateful for my walking pad, I dislike the cold temperatures so this allows me to get my steps in during Winter.
Grateful for the fresh air after work, got my workout in and shovelled the snow.
Grateful for being able to see both boys at their after school activities this evening.
Grateful to see my little boy’s face, how excited he gets when Wwe is on.
Grateful that I ended my night with a full body stretch to relieve the aches I feel after a full day of work/chores.
Stay warm & have a good night sleep ![]()
Special gratitude - I am four years sober today. ![]()
When I started, I doubted I could even make it past a week. But here here I am 208 weeks later. I am so, so grateful for all the people who helped me get here: the supportive words, the tough love and advice at the right moment, the frequent reminders of a better tomorrow, and the daily reminders of what insanity looks like, too.
I’m grateful that I got to discover who I wanted to be, rather than trying to be who others expected me to be. I’m grateful that I’m at peace with myself most of the time. I’m grateful for all the memories from the past four years that didn’t get lost in a drunken haze.
I’m grateful that being present has allowed me to make conscious choices about my boundaries. I’m grateful that I feel grounded and happy where I am at. I’m grateful that someone once told me I deserved to be happy — and that all I needed to do was take the first step. And then another. It took a while, but it was like colour came back on, once I realized, I am captain of my life ![]()
There are a million more things I’m grateful for; you people, and talking sober, most of all.
Thank you for walking the walk with me. ![]()
Grateful for sobriety and slowly gaining back my health. For warm tea and a cozy home. For the social services in my country. For Advent. For having the resources to care for myself, my daughter and our pets. For my neighborhood.
I feel blessed.
Yay! Congratulations on 4 years!

Day 13
I woke up with my heart full of love and gratitude this morning. From the moment my eyes opened, I felt the positive energy of the day.
I am extremely grateful that my YouTube has officially passed 500 subscribers! This a huge deal on my path to becoming a content creator. This milestone seemed impossible at times. Since becoming sober, I’ve had motivation, focus and the effort it takes to make my channel successful.
I’m grateful that I’m part of a group chat with really amazing guys. Motivated guys that lead by example. Guys that show me the actions it takes to be a better person. At 6:00am this was posted in the chat for all of us to answer:
- What was the last thing you tried to control your drinking before AA?
- When did you finally give up and admit you were powerless?
- What did you first see in sober people that you wanted for yourself?
- What did you gain in sobriety that filled the hole alcohol left?
- What is the biggest change in your attitude toward life since AA?
- What’s the best thing you got in return for giving up drinking?
I’m grateful that I got to read others answers to these questions. I’m grateful that I have guys in my life that I can relate to. I’m grateful that I have guys in my life that I can look up to.
The sun is shining! This is the first day in 6 days that I’ve seen the sun! I’m grateful to feel it in my face and see it with my eyes.
It’s already been an amazing day, let us all make the right decisions to keep it going!
Im grateful to be celebrating your fourth trip around the sun!
Congrats!

Today I am grateful for:
- The mild winter weather this morning
- Coffee to help me wake up
- My recovery
- My familys health. Hope it stays this way for the Christmas holidays
- My son doing well in school
- God
- My life and where I am at in my life (although not perfect, it is farrrr better than how it used to be while in active addiction)
I’m grateful I’m powering through the many distractions to do my gratitude list first today. It was actually quite the battle. Grateful I won.
Making coffee this morning and many mornings I think I got to get on the gratitude thread and start my day. I’m grateful it’s not that I NEED it but I want to. I’m grateful it does start my day off better.
I’m grateful for a wonderful nights sleep.
I’m grateful for AA meetings on the beach.
I’m grateful for the hike after the meeting. Hence I think the good nights sleep.
I’m grateful a notification text just popped up from my son about us paying something. And I’m sticking with my gratitude presently.
I’m grateful I got the Christmas tree up in the parlor. My morning room when I’m not outside. No decorations. Just lights. And that’s good enough for me for now.
I’m grateful for my little electric fire place going, meditation music and of course COFFEE ![]()
I grateful, just like a meeting, my spiritual tank is filling just being here doing gratitude.
I’m grateful for my wife. She’s healing up and starting to get around enough I can feel comfortable leaving her for hikes and meetings. I’m grateful she is sober.
I’m grateful for Alice.
I’m grateful for Beatrix.
I’m grateful for Daisy.
I’m grateful for my small little family.
I’m grateful Gus is coming around and likes his Bob Bob now
I grateful I knew he would come around. He’s just been such a mommas boy and nana’s boy.
I’m grateful he can be a little higher power for me if I use him right. I’m grateful for the abundance of serenity he gave me the other day when I didn’t want to be around anyone. What a beautiful boy.
I’m grateful I have another grandson coming from the Dallas fam. I’m grateful for the miracle and science of IVF. I’m grateful my son and DIL never gave up and found a way. I’m grateful it’s still early yet but that second trimester is just around the corner.
I’m grateful my son and my daughter make the best parents in the world. I’m grateful their spouses are wonderful as well.
Fuck me!
This is why I got to do gratitude every day instead of a novel once and awhile.
I’m grateful we got a contract on a condo in Malibu
Ya we did it again.
I’m grateful life never settles down. I’m grateful today I can be content.
I’m grateful for Benson,
Maverick
and Minnie ![]()
Grateful for you all and now my spiritual gratitude tank is full.
