I’m grateful I’m 20 days sober again (the again was for you @Shaunda 
Hoping to make you smile 
)
I’m grateful I woke up early and was more productive at work today than Thursday.
I’m grateful for all the wonderful friends here who reached out when I was having a difficult day.
I’m grateful it’s a 3 day weekend even though I will probably need to work a little, it will help me for Tuesday.
I’m grateful for Riley’s vet appointment tomorrow, I’m praying anything she has is treatable. 
I’m grateful for Max and Riley laying next to me, Riley’s paws are tucked under his chin. 
I’m grateful I’m getting tired so I can try and get some sleep.
I’m grateful Max is already down for the night.
I’m grateful for this thread.
Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Hahaha im grateful for you Maxine! I needed that laugh tonight!
Im grateful for the member at AA that nailed me when i said im 98 days sober “again” tonight. 
that will ( maybe) teach me to keep my yapper shut. I doubt it. 
Im always grateful to read your shares. I find mich comfort in them.
Im grateful tonight i can sit in my feelings and i know its nothing a drink or a drug will make better.
Im grateful for learning the value of surrender, and surrendering again, and again and again and so on as many times as it takes.
Im grateful for all of your shares. I cant tell you how many times i open this app just to read this thread for some uplifting. Thank you!

Grateful that my hubby and I agreed on a way to clean the house of things we don’t need anymore or will not need for a while.
Grateful that I can start making small steps and those will hopefully add up.
Grateful that this will help us prepare either for a big move or to have a better, cleaner space by Jan.
Grateful that this helps keep my heart calm when overwhelming thoughts come breaking in. They come often, and I’m grateful I don’t need a drink anymore to “relax” or “manage stress”.
Grateful my kids are safe.
Grateful for our good health.
Grateful it’s Saturday.
Grateful for pizza leftovers.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone
PS: Happy birthday @Cjp ! 
PS2: Thank you @Dazercat @Bootz @Shaunda @JasonFisher and everyone else This thread and the TS community has been one of the major things that really made a difference in my sobriety this time around. I’m hoping to keep it up, one day, one hour, one minute at a time.

Good morning all,
Happy birthday @Cjp! Enjoy camping! I’m grateful it’s the weekend and I don’t have anything planned really. I think I’ll use some of the time to reduce some clutter around the house. I’m grateful for coffee- and more if I need it! I’m grateful the move is going good for @anon74766472, I know it has been very stressful for you. I’m grateful for this thread, my home group, and that I can always come here and feel better. I’m grateful for sunshine and blue skies. I’m grateful I can hear the small airplanes flying around out here, it reminds me of when I was a kid.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Im so grateful i attended a zoom AA meeting this morning. Im a traditional in person meeting kinda girl but i really needed a meeting before i head to work in 15 minutes. Having only 1 car makes it difficult to go in the mornings. Im grateful i was able to overcome my nervousness about it.
Im grateful for my Higher Power being with me, in me and around me today. I know i can leave my house and leave my daughter alone for a few hours and it will be ok. I have to work and cant hover over her. I cant fix this. Im grateful for the tools i can pull out of my bag and surrender this to my higher power.
Im grateful i am sober and alert to not only her needs but mine as we walk through this stage of her life.

I’m grateful I already posted on the Are You Affected By An Addict…… thread.
I’m grateful I’ll try not to post my saga here and try and stick to gratitude.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon.
I’m grateful I don’t drink.
I’m grateful I can only continue to work and change me if I’m willing and get my ego (I hate that fucken word 
) out of the way.
I’m grateful for how loud Alice is purring way across the room. I’m grateful we got her fluids in yesterday.
I’m grateful for the housecleaners yesterday. I’m grateful for the trail of cat litter on the clean floor an hour after they left. I’m grateful I rather have pets that love me and I them, than a clean house. That clean house ship sailed years ago.
I’m grateful it’s the last big golf weekend up here and we’ll pretty much have the place to ourselves again soon.
I’m grateful every morning when Minnie comes over to check on me.
I’m grateful to be sitting in my chair unencumbered doing my gratitude.
I’m grateful for the sleep meditation I did last night as my mind was racing before bed. I’m grateful I surrendered and got the sleep meditation lined up before I got in bed instead of just trying to sleep.
I’m grateful I usually sleep quite well. And I did last night too.
I’m grateful for all the little things I got done around here yesterday.
I’m grateful and hopeful the ultra sonic bat thingies I plugged in yesterday kept the bat away. He wasn’t around last night. I like him. I just don’t like bat poop 
all over my deck.
I’m grateful for you all.

Day #586. Today I am grateful for my beautiful wife, who has stuck by me through all of our trials and tribulations, most of which were caused by my drinking… she is an amazing human.

I am grateful we finished just now. I am beyond grateful for my dear friends and my brother.
Tomorrow I will start unpacking and cleaning. It’s still a mess.
I am grateful I can make myself something to eat tonight. I am dead but very grateful.

@desert_rose Congrats on 5 months!
Grateful to wake up to laughter on this 170th day clean. Grateful to wake up next to my favorite adult who is also clean! Grateful to have a weekend full of recovery and possibilities.
Grateful to have a weekend hustle lined up, very grateful for the extra cash coming in.
Grateful for the choices I have today that are direct result of my choice to stay clean for 170 days in a row. Grateful to be carefully deliberating on these decisions and not making any actions that won’t serve me, my kids, my relationship or my recovery.
Grateful for the blessings that are flowing in. Grateful, very, grateful for my recovery.

Today I am grateful that even though my son is home with COVID, he feels ok and symptoms are pretty much gone. I am grateful for a quiet morning with coffee and no hangover and for a day with no where to be but here. I’m grateful for keeping up my exercise and activity to the point of feeling physically exhauated at night for good reasons versus feeling tired all the time b/c of alcohol abuse. I am grateful for the ability to stock the fridge today and do some batch cooking for busy weeks ahead. I am grateful for our humble home filled with love, jokes and many times, lots of fur!!

Good morning all,
I’m grateful to have woken up early on my own. I’m grateful I made plans to go hiking with my mom this morning. I’m very close to my 2 year milestone, which messes with me, but have also been fighting the memories of this holiday weekend ( my sober date fell on it). I’m feeling lots of humiliation, regret, and anxiety remembering it. I’m grateful that I know some time in nature, and some movement will help break me out of that. I’m grateful I don’t drink. I’m grateful that although I can feel unpleasant feelings now, I can also feel excitement, and joy which I really couldn’t while numbing with alcohol. I’m grateful that I’ll check this thread a lot in the next couple days. I’m grateful for you guys, very grateful.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Im grateful for God first and foremost.
Im grateful for my boyfriend, Britton and the things he has chosen to give up for my sobriety just to help me. He won’t drink anymore, even though we are long distance and he didn’t drink much to begin with, he stopped all together. And i didn’t even have to ask him :))
I am grateful for my support team and how much they care about me.

I’m grateful……….whew…….
I’m grateful,……that I’m having a hard time putting it into words. I’m grateful it’s a good struggle. Like I’m grateful for the same Ol shit I’m always grateful for! I’m grateful for the struggles with my wife. I’m grateful we are breaking some eggs. We’re trying to make a really nice omelette and I think we are both scared how it’s going to come out in the end. Man…… that’s a corny way of putting it. 
But I couldn’t think of a better analogy.
I’m grateful I need to make some changes. I’m grateful it’s always me that has to make some changes. I’m grateful I think I need to make some changes on my use of TS. I’m grateful it kind of scares me because I’m pretty addicted to this place. I’m grateful I realize I need to let some things go. I’m grateful I don’t want to say “Good Bye”. But I also know my addicted behavior and I got to face it. I’m on here, TS too much. Just like I was addicted to Twitter. And my 2 long time restaurant jobs. I’m grateful I found this forum to get sober and it replaced my Twitter addiction. I’m grateful I realized I don’t want to replace TS with another social media thingy or whatever you want to call it. I’m grateful for all of you and the many friends I’ve become close with. Even though I don’t know you all there’s been a very special loving magical connection. I’m grateful I don’t want to loose that.
Im grateful for Minnie’s rhythmic snoring on her orthopedic mat by the front door.
Im so grateful for everyone on TS.
Im so grateful for my gift of sobriety.
I’m grateful 976 days ago I sought out help.
Through an app. 
I’m grateful I thought it was kind of funny 975 days ago when I thought “I wonder if they have an app for that?” I mean they got an app for everything these days. I’m grateful, I was kinda half joking, during my last most brutal hangover. Look what I accomplished!! I’m grateful I can be pretty dang proud of myself.
Thank you
