Tonight I picked a drunk friend up from the police station. I’m grateful I was sober and able to help and I’m grateful that my lifestyle choices are taking me further away from the possibility that I would be the one in jail. Stay the course friends. My heart aches for those still struggling and in pain tonight.

Good morning all, I’m grateful to be listening to all the birds out here this morning. I’m grateful to see the sunrise. Grateful for my coffee and porch swing. I’m grateful for the walks I go on with my husband. I’m grateful we talk and laugh more. I’m grateful I have enough.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Quick morning gratitude
I’m grateful I woke up. I slept through my alarm but thats ok, a skunk woke me up an hour later. Stinky stinky. I have a feeling it got to close to Dixie and she tried to run it off 
I’m grateful im off of work today because it’s my actual day off so I can enjoy it and not let my young sober indignation ruin the day.
I’m grateful I have true love in my life through family and friends. Genuine love isn’t always sweet, sometimes its just giving it to ya straight with kindness and I need that in my life. Always have.
I’m grateful im still sober.

Day 11
I’m grateful for this peace I have within. I’m grateful I’m learning how to control my anxiety. I’m grateful being sober calms my anxiety. I’m grateful my kids made it to school this morning before the car started acting up. I’m grateful I have a car. I’m grateful I’ve realized I may not can control what happens around me but I for sure can control how I respond to it! I’m grateful for this community. Have a blessed and sober Monday

I’m grateful I get to do 2 gratitude list this morning. I move the first one over here. Are you affected by a loved one who is an addict? - #550 by Dazercat I thought it would be more appropriate over here if anyone is interested.
I’m grateful for cool mountain air and rain, sleeping with the windows open. I’m grateful to get up at a reasonable time like 6. I’m grateful I had all 6 pets loving on me in the kitchen while I was making my coffee. They WERE loving on ME They weren’t hungry. But boy were they happy when I fed them. 
I’m grateful my pets all seem well. Especially the 16 year olds. I’m grateful for my hoodies and my woolen half gloves as it’s late August and I’m already cold up here. I’m grateful my maple tree is already starting to turn colors.
I’m grateful for all my blessings.
I’m grateful my wife and I felt very discombobulated when we arrived here. I’m grateful I felt borderline depression but reasoned it out and grateful I did a guided meditation on Insight Timer about depression. I’m grateful for all the sober sleep I got yesterday.
I’m grateful my wife and I enjoyed complaining together at the club restaurant about the food and the people around us and how strange and out of place we feel. We move so much we don’t know where we belong. I’m grateful for my adventurous life.
I’m grateful I realize I guess our summer is over. The great big things I been waiting for the Europe trip and my Granddaughter have come. And we moved out of Cali and into the desert. And I’m like. Now what? I’m grateful depression is not going to grab a hold of me. I’m grateful I can feel it. Sober. And it will come and go.
I’m grateful Minnie can sit outside up here and watch over her domain and I don’t have to worry about her frying to death in the heat. I’m grateful she’s seems so happy back on her deck in the woods.
I’m grateful my wife and I had a nice dinner out. Of course out. I’m grateful she did all her cat chores and I did all my dog chores. And I happily clean her mess in the kitchen. Because I wanted a clean kitchen in the morning.
I’m grateful she passed out on the couch so I could watch The Bear. I love that show. Thanks Callie. She doesn’t like it. I’m grateful I had the whole bed to myself. Except for Benson and Maverick and Daisy. I’m grateful my resentment meter is pretty dang low this morning.
I’m grateful for my view of the ponderosa pines.
I’m grateful for all my many blessings.
Especially Norma.
I’m grateful for y’all.
I’m grateful I’m learning 
I cannot live in the wreckage of the future.

Grateful for beautiful weather, my chickens laying fresh eggs, my dogs, and my home.
I am grateful and proud that I have seen my issue with alcohol and want to stay sober permanently this time around.

I’m grateful I feel like crying.
It’s strange, but it was the first thought I had when I opened the app.
I’m scared of the next few months. Of the potential to uproot the family. Of maybe changing jobs. Or having no jobs. Of having to be strong, and make sure everyone is happy, because I’ve done it all before. (Sounds familiar, @anon74766472 ?)
I’m grateful I feel like crying.
I also got scared because I was just standing in the parking lot, talking to a colleague, and a car backed into me, almost hit me. It really shook me.
I’m grateful I feel like crying.
Because this is a normal reaction. And it is ok.
I’m grateful I didn’t immediately think “I need a drink” to numb these feelings.
I’m grateful I feel like crying.
I’m grateful I feel.
The good and the bad. Cannot numb just the bad and stay with the good.
Much love to you all

GRATEFUL for the challenges that I’ve welcomed into my life with open arms. GRATEFUL that I’m excited for the refiners fire. GRATEFUL for these exciting & nerve-wracking changes that will take out what’s not serving me and hurl me into places and spaces I’m meant to be in. GRATEFUL to have intentionally set out on this journey and kept aware so that the startling and stark news that is being brought to me already only seems like progress and that it’s already working. GRATEFUL for the metaphysical that God has given us and that I’m aware of its awesome power at this stage in my life. GRATEFUL to be utilizing it, harnessing it, and GRATEFUL that I’m super charging my recovery. GRATEFUL that I’m up to the challenge! GRATEFUL for the visible and tangible growth of my relationship with my youngest over just this short weekend.
GRATEFUL to be grateful to be uncomfortable, because I now know that growth and transformation comes from uncomfortable places.
Grateful for my recovery. So, so, grateful for a second chance at life.

I’m grateful I’m on day 9. I’m grateful I didn’t even think of drinking today.
I’m grateful for my job and even though my boss seems to send me a ton of questions when I’m off for a couple days, I’m grateful for him.
I’m grateful I’ve decided instead of always having a To Do list, I’m going to write what I have done for the day, and just do my best.
I’m grateful for Max and Riley, but I’m concerned about my girl. I’ve made an appointment for her and I’m praying she’s okay. I have to wait 12 days.
I’m sad tonight, but having Max and Riley laying next to me helps.
I’m grateful I have somewhere to go and share my feelings. 
I’m grateful for all of you.

I’m grateful Maxine is here and sharing about your sadness. I truly am. My heart is with you tonight.
I’m grateful I meet with my sponsor tomorrow and will complete my 5th step. We had to cancel last weeks meeting due to illness in my house. I think prolonging doing my 5th has added to my funky feelings about sobriety. It will pass.
I’m grateful for both meetings I was able to attend today and that my daughter went to 1 with me.
I’m grateful for the teen group she and I also went to tonight.
I’m grateful my husband cleaned out our closet and I now have room to hang some clothes also lol
I’ve found gratitude for dixie, the invading pregnant squirrel. She is so cantankerous. I wasn’t sure i would like her since she seems to have run my beloved rocky off but… she is wildly entertaining and definitely down for holding her ground.
I’m grateful for all my new to me clothes my co worker gave me. I legit had so few clothes. I cant say how grateful I am to have clothes that fit and look nice on me. I couldn’t afford to buy new clothes after my weight loss.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I don’t have to work atm.
I am a bit lost with the free time. I need structure. I am grateful for the challenge.
I am grateful for the cool nights and mornings now. I don’t need to rush before the heat gets unbearable.
I am still tired and sleepless but it’s getting better. Well, at least I hope so. Day 4.

Morning,
I’m grateful to have fields behind my house where I can walk my dog first thing. I took my tea and enjoyed the quiet. There was a big patch of mist that looked pretty cool.
I’m grateful my friend asked me to go on a mini break with her. Not sure when or where but nice to be asked. Better start saving, these things cost a fortune now!
I’m grateful to enjoy my granola and tea (not together!) watching the window feeder birds. Mostly blue tits and nuthatches.
I’m grateful to be in a good mood this morning, full of positivity. Maybe it was the dog walk, maybe the tea. Probably a mixture of everything, a good sleep, an ok day ahead, evening meal already made.
See you later

Grateful for a gratitude list that I’m going to assume will help put things in perspective this morning. Gratitude is not flowing yet. 
Grateful for my recovery. Grateful for the progress I’ve made, grateful that I know these circumstances are forcing growth. Grateful I can see that this clean and sober living (just the housing situation, not the lifestyle!) is temporary.
Grateful that my fiance is on his last week in inpatient and I’ll get my best friend back in person! Grateful for all the very cool things that I can feel right around the corner.
Grateful for the immediate reminder to surrender.
I’m not driving this bus, I’m just a passenger. My higher power has got the wheel so it don’t make no sense to run up to the front of the bus panicking right now. Grateful for that visual, to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Trust the driver!
TRUST THE DRIVER!
Grateful I gave myself an extra half hour this morning for gratitude meditation and that #1 I did not push the snooze button and #2 I’m using it wisely, I knew I would need it .
Grateful to be able to try to open my mind to the possibilities that I don’t know best, that maybe I will be grateful Im getting a new roommate today, even though it’s out of order and I am definitely the last in line at the house to be getting a roomate, grateful that I can AT LEAST try to think that I might truly be grateful at some point. Again, lol, omg I’m going to have to say this all day, “TRUST THE DRIVER!!”
Grateful that I’m not bulldozing myself into ignoring my actual feelings on the subject, but grateful for the options that my recovery is allowing me to have. In active addiction my options and ability to make choices are so wildly diminished.
Grateful that I finished step one yesterday. Grateful for the little advance and to move on to step 2 today. Grateful I made it back last night from taking my daughter back to my parents to make it in time for IOP. Grateful I’ve stayed in compliance even though the dire consequences are now gone if I don’t. Grateful for the intrinsic motivators that keep me going. Grateful that I am looking to and know I will graduate IOP. When I first entered recovery I was surprised when I first met someone who was graduating. I really didn’t know that was something people actually did. Grateful for that shift in my vision and place in my recovery that I’m knowing and seeing people who are accomplishing things they start. Grateful that pretty soon that will be me.
Grateful for my employment, that takes me out of this squirrely place I get after a 3 day weekend, grateful it will take me out into the world and OUT OF MY HEADSPACE! Grateful for the therapeutic and cathartic power of cleaning and the satisfaction and exhaustion it brings me. No joke. Grateful that when I’m done with a day of work I have zero energy for that bullshit emotion we call anxiety.
I am grateful that even though I am not yet to a place where I’m grateful I have to share my personal space with a stranger (roommate) I went ahead and left a welcome card for her. Grateful that in the midst of my angst and worry about getting a roomate like the last one I tried to treat her as I would want to be treated, and that I’ve set out to create positive energy in every way possible. Grateful to have realized that any possible negative energy will be countered and won over by the positive and high vibrations I have intentionally set out to create in my room.
Very grateful to end this gratitude list on my 159th day consecutive clean day with a win, with a much brighter outlook on the day and the reminder to SURRENDER! TRUST THE DRIVER!
Let’s kill it today.
