Iām grateful I accidentally overheard one of my supervisors talking about my work yesterday. Although it was awkward and I had to leave the area quickly, it also felt good to hear positive reviews.
Iām grateful I have a job. Im grateful I have a bike to ride to work. It may not work well, the derailer my husband bought for it doesnāt fit the best and the chain gives a pop a lot but Iām grateful I can get to work in 7 minutes ride instead of 22 minutes walk. My thighs on the other hand are not pleased with the change of transportation
Iām grateful I can allow my 16 year old to make choices for her life that she needs. I see a lot of parents that donāt and their kids come and have melt downs at my home. It breaks my heart. Im grateful I can guide her with love through her choices and acknowledge that she is almost an adult and needs these skills to be successful.
Iām grateful for my husband, warts and all. He does so much to ensure I have what I need.
Iām grateful I choose sobriety. Im a much better person to everyone when I am actively working on being a better human instead of slowly trying to drown myself.
I forgot to mention I got a message last night that my best friend was passing out in Walmart. She was rushed to the hospital.
Iām grateful her husband messaged me last night and said she got released.
Iām grateful after checking on her this morning she says shes feeling better and will call me later.
They think itās early menopause.
Iām grateful for herā¦. Weāve been friends for over 20 years.
I donāt know what I would do if something happened to her.
Grateful sheās ok.
Iām grateful I went to bed before 8pm yesterday and slept 12 hours.
Iām grateful I donāt feel unwell this morning, just a faint headache. Much better than last evening. I really had chills and body aches. I have no idea what was going on, but it wasnāt pretty.
Iām grateful my hubby had a good boysā movie night with the kids.
Iām grateful I gave my body what it needed: rest. Iām grateful I didnāt mask the unwellness with alcohol, only to make it worse in the morning. Very, very grateful.
Iām grateful I woke up to a hug of my youngest, who asked if I was feeling better. Iām grateful this is not because I needed to āsleep it offā or because I was hungover. I simply was feeling sick. Iām grateful I donāt feel embarrassed, because it wasnāt self-inflicted.
Iām grateful for overripe bananas that make the perfect ingredient for banana cake with chocolate chips. Iām so very grateful to see my family enjoy it still a bit warm, coming out of the oven for a late breakfast.
Iām grateful that I can handle the stress and will handle any turmoil that may come our way with a clear head.
Iām grateful for all of you. Iām grateful for my sobriety journey, every and each day of it.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I can sweat.
I am grateful I have all my limbs.
I am grateful for clean water and fresh food.
I feel a bit of anxiety for what the future might bring. Noone knows and this is okay. I will do the best I can to manage my life, today.
I am grateful I have enough.
I miss Brian here, @I.cant.We.can hope you are doing okay-ish somehow
Iām grateful for my recovery music playlist.
Iām grateful for my ear worm this morning. Even in the middle of the night when I woke up to go to the bathroom. TMI?
Higher Power by Cold Play. Hold On Hold on Tight (my favorite part.) Hold On Tight! Because Youāve Got A Higher Power.
Iām grateful Iām holding on tight.
Iām grateful it feels comforting.
Iām grateful for the healing power and strength of music. Iām grateful itās a pretty common theme around here. Iām grateful my mom was a musician and instilled music in my heart from an early age. Especially musicals. Iām grateful for my mission trip with Mercy Music.
Iām grateful Minnie just came over for a pet. Iām grateful I got 6 pets and thereās always someone around for a pet or a scratch or a love. Iām grateful Bensonās anxiety level seems to be pretty good today.
Iām grateful we had a great time at the movie yesterday. Iām grateful we both agreed it needed more Brad Pit Iām grateful it was a matinee and the theatre was basically empty. Iām grateful since we got home late I cooked a great dinner and offered to do dishes because getting home late put her behind on her chores. Iām grateful for the HUGE smile of relief and she said I didnāt have too. But I happily did.
Iām grateful we finished the limited series of The Maid on Netflix. It was a horrible story about domestic abuse but done really well. And it kept us talking about it long after it was over. Iām grateful when a show has us talking about it latter and we try and get an insight on the victim. But also on the abuser. And how itās a horrible vicious cycle thatās so hard to break. Iām grateful we, even more so, I, am enjoying our time together even though she is drinking.
Iām grateful Iām sober and at no time do I want a drink and maybe this is keeping me sober.
Iām grateful my window cleaner called me back and got me on the schedule.
Iām grateful the only pain I have is from working out on the reformer and itās the good pain and not my back pain.
Iām grateful for this thread. And all the Gratitudes
Gratitude makes us more spiritual
It cannot be coincidence that in all major religions, spiritual paths, and walks of life gratitude is described as a virtue.

I am grateful the universe woke me up at 4 am to share its energy. I spent the first 30 mins of my day in meditation exchanging energy because I knew I would need it. I am grateful my flare ups donāt last forever and that I made a wise choice to skip homegroup last night.
I am grateful to have been through a lot of chronic pain centered classes and one of the most important things they focus on is our quality of life. I am grateful that while I am flared up and I canāt do much, I was able to get out of the house to enjoy the sunrise for a second morning. I am grateful I know how to keep my spirits high.
I am grateful for clouds and my livingroom window. While I lay on my couch I can get lost in the shapes as they float by.
I am grateful for universal love and how that is shown to me in many ways. I was supposed to do my orientation at the corrections center this morning but it was postponed last min. I absolutley should not have been going with how I am feeling but I would have gone. I am grateful that my HP took that out of my hands.
I am grateful for compassion and how it makes the world a better place, starting with compassion for self. I am seeing so much growth in the women around me in how they communicate with others and deal with life on lifes terms. I am grateful for growth my own and others itās such a beautiful thing.
I am grateful that I donāt do drugs anymore. And that it is not me that shows up to the beach parking lot to get high while someone in recovery (me) is on the beach enjoying the sunrise. What a paradox that isā¦ This is where compassion really comes in. I am grateful that when I see this manās blank stare that penetrates me from his hollowed out eye sockets all I feel is compassion. Compassion for a fellow addict who hasnāt found his way. Compassion for a man, a son who could very well be a father, brother and husband. I feel compassion over fear, disgust and pity. I am grateful for that.
I agree with everyone, youāre missed and we care for you. Your gratitudes weāre the best! I hope all is well. Iāve stepped back before, so please come back when ready. Sending a hug.
I am grateful I found my way back to me. That there is nothing more important for me to be then just myself. Iām grateful for my quirks. Iām grateful for my sensitivity. I am grateful I choose love these days. Iām grateful Iāve been able to forgive myself for all my mistakes. Iām grateful it makes it much easier to love and let go of others for theirs. Iām grateful that I stopped drinking. That it led me on a journey that I fully didnāt understand until recently. I slowly got to know myself again. I found what was meaningful and valuable to be. Iām grateful I can lead with my heart. Iām grateful bad days are just part of the process. Iām grateful perfection doesnāt exist. Iām grateful for the lessons Iāve learned because I no longer chose to numb with alcohol. Iām grateful we can heal ourselves. Iām grateful I no longer suffer from crippling anxiety. When it starts to flair I know how to handle it. Iām grateful that sobriety gave me the most wonderful gift Iāve ever gotten, the chance to know and love the real me. Iām grateful for 11 months sober
Though itās way past my bed timeā¦
Iām grateful I got to see my other sister tonight.
Iām grateful I got to spend time with 2 of our grandsons.
Iām grateful my daughter is home with her friend and they are happy teenagers content just hanging at home.
Iām grateful I also finally have a moment to myself. Its a long stretch from my quiet mornings until the last few minutes before sleep and I get quiet time to myself again.
Iām grateful im learning how to handle being pulled in so many directions and someone constantly needing my attention. Its very overwhelming for me but I am managing it far better these days.
Iām grateful you all understand I have little time to reply but I do read everything you say and try to hit the button as a show of support. Your shares help me throughout my day, so thank you
Have a wonderful evening friends.
Congratulations @Callie99 I am so grateful that you made the choice to quit drinkingā¦ I know it had itās hard uncomfortable moments for you, but you hung in there and have been on this amazing, wonderful journey. You have learned so muchā¦ about life and yourself. I know you will be forever grateful that you quit drinkingā¦ I am so proud of you! Celebrating with youā¦ Big hugs, lots of love xoxo
Morning,
Iām grateful for @mamador 's gratitude this morning, the part about friends made me think, thank you.
Iām grateful that Iāve got a job and can make extra money here and there. Things are getting pretty tricky, itās going to be a juggling act soon with the cost of just existing, not even the extras, just paying the basic bills. There are 5 adults in our house, Iām grateful that we all contribute.
Iām grateful to have had a nice early dog walk in the morning sun.
Iām grateful for everyone here
I am grateful for essential oils. The came this morning at 8 to clear the apartment of the dead neighbor and the smell is really overwhelmingly disgusting. Keeping all windows closed.
I am grateful I donāt have a job like this.
I am grateful someone does this.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I have some friend. Some people I actually can call friends.
I am grateful for the coaching I had yesterday. I finished the air element. I think Iāll start with the last part of this part today. I asked my coach to set up a test for yoga philosophy and history otherwise it wonāt happen. She liked the idea.
I am grateful for a cleaning shower.
This morning I am grateful for a restful night of sleep and for my son being back home for the week. Iām grateful for all of our animals and their cuddles. I am grateful for a lack of a hangover today, the $ I didnāt spend on alcohol and for online meetings that I can access anytime I need to. I am grateful for the Living Sober book. I am grateful for the time Iāll be able to spend this weekend with a couple of friends and their kids, with my Mom and with my son. Wishing everyone a lovely Saturday.
Iām grateful today is my 3 month sobriety birthday last time I drank was may 26th. The last couple of weeks were hot and cold as far as the wanting of sobriety and I am grateful the willingness never left me. Im grateful for my tool box I can dig into to help me through not only difficult times, but times I just donāt care if im sober or not. Im grateful for this gratitude list, not only can I post my gratitude but I can process a bit behind it. Im grateful for all of your shares as they inspire me daily.
Im grateful for my quiet time this morning for readings and meditation
Have a wonderful day out the friends.
Good morning all,
Iām grateful for @Shaunda ās 3 months, @Callie99 ās 11 months, and any other milestones I may have missed! Iām grateful I got to see the sky change colors with the sunrise. Iām grateful my son came to sit on the porch swing and watch it with me. Iām grateful that today we will celebrate Grannyās 90th birthday with a Hawaiian themed dinner. This week was incredibly hectic so while I had plans to make some desserts, I will just buy them instead and take the stress of trying to get everything done off me. Iām grateful for my home and my family.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Iām grateful for plans that donāt go as planned.
Iām grateful for this daily practice of gratitude, which makes me see the other side of things when nothing goes as planned.
I look carefully to see what else can be done if plan A is no longer an option.
I always learn something new.
Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes it can make me smile.
Sometimes a cancelled plan is an open possibility.
Iām grateful I can have the patience to not only see the silverlining, but to see the sunshine that will come after an unexpected storm. And grateful to appreciate the storm for what it is.
Have a wonderful Saturday, everyone. Rain, sunshine or clouds!
Iām grateful it was a matinee and the theatre was basically empty. Iām grateful since we got home late I cooked a great dinner and offered to do dishes because getting home late put her behind on her chores. Iām grateful for the HUGE smile of relief and she said I didnāt have too. But I happily did.
