I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful the move is ongoing. I cannot help. And this stresses me to be there doing nothing.
I am grateful it doesnā€™t rain today. Itā€™s a beautiful early autumn day.
I am grateful the guys from the moving company are relaxed.
I am grateful my friend is coming in an hour.
I am grateful I was not hungover this morning. How did I ever handle this? It was so normal back then. Waking up, feeling shit, trying to not drink that day. I am grateful I felt better physically sober. I am grateful this made it easy to quit for me.
I am grateful for some folks in de quitting caffeine thread.

Morning,
Exactly diamonster, how did we do it? I couldnā€™t imagine navigating through my days feeling like I used to, Iā€™m so grateful I donā€™t drink.
Iā€™m grateful my partner has totally embraced sober life, heā€™s almost at 2 months, life in our house is so much better, calmer.
Iā€™m grateful for early mornings, I like the time for me before the work day starts.
Iā€™m grateful for another sober day :sparkling_heart:

Iā€™m grateful Minnie got up at 9pm to mill around last night so I let her out for a final Whizzy and daddy got to go to bed early. :zzz::zzz::zzz:
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m up way early to get the house cleaned up before the house cleaners get here :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m sober.
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m not hungover.
Iā€™m grateful to God I do not depend on my booze anymore.

Iā€™m grateful for my codependent relapse again last night. I reasoned it out. I think I thought about it too much. But I couldnā€™t get my mind off the ā€œShe Sheā€™s.ā€ Iā€™m grateful in the end, as I knew I would ā€œprobably,ā€ be, everything was ok. Iā€™m grateful I recognized it. For some reason, couldnā€™t stop it. Iā€™m grateful I can let it out here. And Iā€™m grateful I can give myself a break about it. Iā€™m grateful thatā€™s got to be some kind of progress. Iā€™m grateful for a new day and realize how yesterday was a learning experience. Again :grimacing:. Iā€™m grateful it was easier.
Iā€™m grateful when I got told off last night I just took it. Iā€™m grateful I didnā€™t say, ā€œwell you drink all day!ā€ Not that it ever crossed my mind šŸ«¤ Iā€™m grateful for the power of silence and doing nothing is doing something. Iā€™m grateful I slept well after that.
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m not feeling resentment and Iā€™ll easily be able to let her in my world this morning.

Iā€™m grateful for cats and dogs. Especially old ones.
Iā€™m grateful the old oneā€™s faces get more beautiful every day.
Iā€™m grateful Labor Day weekend is here and Iā€™m grateful I grocery shopped yesterday. And grateful we can hunker down and stay away from all the bloody tourist.
Iā€™m grateful to sleep with windows open and fresh mountain air.
Iā€™m grateful football season is underway.
Iā€™m grateful the Nittnay Lions made a comeback last night and won the game.

Iā€™m grateful Alice jumped up on my lap and is bashing into my iPod. Probably telling me to wrap it up.

Iā€™m grateful for you all. Especially you! Ya you! Doesnā€™t feel right using that when youā€™re not around Brian. Iā€™m grateful for the ā€œSober all Sports,ā€ thread.
Go Bills!!
Go Rams!!
Going to be a hellova Thursday night next week.
Iā€™m grateful for you all.

Good :sunrise: morning! I am so grateful to be waking up in a different spot today. Grateful for the refreshing location switch to my fianceā€™s clean and sober house. Grateful for the fresh energy over here in the city. Grateful for the AMAZING night we shared last night, we hit an NA meeting last night where he picked up his 30 day tag. Grateful for facetime and getting to check in with my new high school freshmen last night. Grateful she was telling me with words it was just ā€œmidā€ but her smile said otherwise.
Ahhhhhhhā€¦grateful. Grateful for the difficult day yesterday, because I love the leveling up that happens after I do a difficult day with all my might. Grateful that often I picture myself in a video game when I feel a difficult or a learning day on the horizon and Iā€™m grateful I picture it as if I have to bust through that struggle to level up to the next players ring. Grateful Iā€™m definitely on the next level this morning.
Grateful to be so in love with life and with recovery.
Grateful itā€™s Friday and I have a weekend of hanging out with my fiance, checking out all the recovery and meetings in the middle of the town that was our using ground zero. Grateful that weā€™re already making new associations and new memories and making brand new maps of this town.
Grateful to wake up this 169th consecutive morning clean and sober and grateful to know if I keep doing what Iā€™m doing Iā€™ll be going to bed tonight, clean and sober.
LESS GOOOOO!!!

Today Iā€™m very grateful for
This app & TikTok, it has gave me so many great people in my life that has helped me & motivate me in so many different ways.
Iā€™m also grateful for the good Lord up above, for just giving me another chance at life.
Iā€™m grateful to be able to get a job.
Iā€™m grateful for being able to have my Medicaid because I wouldnā€™t have ever found out the information I found out. Which is I got cervical cancer.
Iā€™m grateful to be able to have got my appointment scheduled for December 22. (Even though I got discouraged because its so far away I am grateful Iā€™m still even able to get an appointment)

Iā€™m grateful for this beautiful morning I can sit out on my patio with my coffee. Iā€™m grateful I can take my cat Lola out in the yard and she just sits and stares at the wonders around her. I honestly thought by the way she acts inside sometimes that she would be crazy outside and try to escape but she rarely leaves this cement block even though she has a line to run along on. Itā€™s sooooooo cute the way she is mesmerized by everything around her.
Iā€™m m thankful for a new day. Iā€™m thankful for reading everyoneā€™s posts. Iā€™m Thankful I have a long weekend!


Iā€™m grateful that Charlie decided to join us in the sunshine!

Good morning fam-dam.

I am grateful that I quit smoking 17 years ago COVID must suck for smokers.
I am grateful for the reminder of smoking certain drugs and how they made my lungs ache. Itā€™s been 20 + years since I have done those drugs I had forgotten the feeling. I am grateful I got COVID.
I am grateful to have made it to watch the sunrise this morning. I am feeling like shit but I know what I need to do to keep my spirit alive. Grateful for the herons who entertained me while the sun played shy.
I am grateful for self awareness and the knowledge I have of addiction. I know what is happening in my head as my thoughts start to become negative and self defeating. I can sit back and watch like a spectator at a boxing match or a parent watching their toddler have a fit. I am grateful that I know why my addict is bucking; disconnection and isolation are their two favorite things. I can see my addict fighting to surface and grab at silly stuff while my wisdom keeps me calm.
I am grateful for meditation, books and silence.

Iā€™m grateful I joined a race with my entire family today. It was so special to share with them something I love, and hopefully inspire good, healthy choices for my boys as they grow.

Iā€™m grateful todayā€™s race was also a celebration (for me) of 5 months since I stopped drinking. So much has happened in these past 5 months, so much has changed. And Iā€™ve been better able to handle the changes, good, bad and in between.

Iā€™m in awe of how much better Iā€™m tuned into everything. Itā€™s like I used to listen to muffled music through the neighborsā€™ walls and now I can hear and see a full orchestra right in front of me.

There are times when the instruments are being tuned, there are quiet moments, there are loud, startling ones, soft, intense, there are pauses, and there are emotional crescendos that lead to tears of sadness or joy. All of it is incredible.

Iā€™m grateful I can be part of it all again.

Is it painful, boring, mundane, aggravating, maddening, heartbreaking sometimes? Yes.

Is it worth it, to go through all that, in order to feel the joy, calmness, passion, tenderness, exhilaration, and love too? YES.

Much, much love to you all. Thank you for keeping me company these past 5 months and keeping me strong on my sobriety. You are amazing! :heart:

I am grateful this day is over.
I am grateful when tomorrow will be over.
I will be grateful when Tuesday will be over.
I am grateful I donā€™t drink.
I am grateful this this house community is very friendly. It was too much for me. They are having a summer bbq tonight but I am just done. In addition, there is a lot of booze around and I really donā€™t feel comfortable with this tonight. Maybe itā€™s because I am rarely in settings with many people. I went there and had a warm welcome but had to leave as the company wasnā€™t done with the moving.
I am grateful I have a bed. I am grateful I was motivated to go and get some crap food.
I am grateful to be sober.
