Today I’m grateful for getting my hands in soil yesterday and more to come today. I’m grateful it’s cloudy and cool so I won’t be overheated but the rain is holding off until later tonight. I’m grateful my baby plants have all held up well and are hardened off and ready to be potted up. I’m grateful I was able to sell another houseplant yesterday and the buyer was thrilled by the hearty and gorgeous Hoya Carnosa - plus the funds go back into my gardening and growing hobbies. I’m grateful to have connected to a community garden downtown where extra produce, plants and supplies can be left for people to pick up from around the neighborhood for free.

I’ve been watching a channel that helps hopeless addicts and alcoholics. Some of them make it. Most of them don’t. I felt hopeless. I’m grateful to be making it. I’m so grateful to have escaped that seemingly hopeless state of mind I fell into.
Sadness is much better than hopeless. I’m grateful.
It’s a beautiful day and I have many healthy ways to distract myself from my sadness. I am grateful!
I’m supposed to be feeling this. It’s part of the recovery process. The healing process. I’m grateful to recognize this.

I am grateful for making new connections today. New connections with people on this forum, who help me to understand addiction in its many forms.
New connections with a friend who I hope to see again soon.
New connections with myself and my feelings. It’s been a while and it’s great to start listening again.
Today I am grateful for the life god has provided for me. I got to have fellowship with some elder ladies at the church over Bible study. I got to spend amazing time with my mother.

Morning,
I’m grateful that I didn’t drink yesterday or want to.
I’m grateful for sobriety and all it brings, Good sleep is the best, I’m still tired this morning but I don’t lie awake from 3am anymore.
I’m grateful my days are adding up and I’m stronger each day.
I’m grateful drinking isn’t a part of my life, thinking about it is exhausting and such a waste of time.
I’m grateful for everyone here, thanks to all of you
God grant me the serenity to accept the atrocities in life that I cannot change. The courage to not block them out completely. And the wisdom………. To know I got no one else to turn to but God. And to know how powerless I am.
To continue to pray and know you’re out there and that these atrocities are not your work. I’m grateful I can pray for the families of Texas. And I know I can just continue to pray for my country and children and frightened parents, and do my little part to help where I can. Even though it seems like nothing. I’m grateful I can feel this horrible sadness today. Please God help us soften some peoples hearts.
I am grateful I live in Canada.
I am grateful that I have never felt unsafe sending my child to school.
I am grateful to feel safe heading into a highschool this morning for my first NA presentation.
I am grateful I have survived long enough to share my story with others.
I am grateful for the Naltrexone kit I carry in my purse.
I am grateful that I am able to accept this is Canada’s new fucked up reality. Being prepared for overdoses as I walk into a highschool today.
I am grateful for the warm calmness my higherpower keeps at my core.
I am grateful that my child is safe and asleep in her bed right now.
I am grateful that love exists in this world. That we can heal each other. That love is the most powerful, indisputable force on earth. I’m grateful for my emotional healing. I’m grateful I wholeheartedly know my kindness does make a difference in the world. I’m grateful for the kindness of others and how it makes a difference in my life and the lives of people I will never meet. I’m grateful for you all. I’m grateful for the indisputable goodness that exists within all of us, that we can lean into it in times of sorrow.
Sending everyone extra love and light today
Hi everyone
I can feel myself sinking into the depression again. I’m grateful I am able to recognize it now, that I have healthy ways to try and deal, and that I don’t just drink through it. Yesterday’s horror caught me off guard. But no one is ever prepared for something like that, and no one should have to be.
I’m grateful my littlest chicklet is feeling better today. Yesterday we dealt with high fever, sniffles, and feeling yucky. I’m grateful she’s almost back to her sweet little self.
I’m grateful my oldest daughter began seeing a psychiatrist for OCD earlier this year. She struggles with terror about her family’s safety, and yesterday’s news hit her hard. I’m grateful she sought help and has learned ways to cope with the fear.
My heart is heavy, but I’m grateful for hope. I’m grateful for the love in our world. I’ll allow myself to grieve, but I’m not sinking so far down that I can’t still see the light above my head.
Sending you a few hugs from France
Thank you, Pat. There was a shooting at an elementary school in Texas yesterday, and I feel like we’re all Texans right now. It’s so horrific and sad.
Yes, I know, it’s the headline news even in France.
Strange fact, I remember this town from an old road trip I did a few years ago.
This is so sad indeed, horrific and revolting…
Today was good, positive mental but i think my “pink cloud” of sobriety burst lol still moving forward
Im greatful my basic needs are satisfied. Im greatful for my new job, their mission, and the encouraging culture. Im greatful I get to come home to Boscoe and see his excitement to see me. That makes me feel so loved and thankful. Im greatful for my sobriety and recovery discovery. Im greatful for everyones contributions to these sober threads and the compassion, advice, and encouragement overflowing here.
P.s. greatful i havent ran out of s here, theres so much to like here!!
I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through another clean and sober day. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful to be home safe in bed with laundry going reading around the forum, checking sports scores and emails, enjoying some leftover pizza. I’m grateful I finished my job today, on good terms and received an offer to come back anytime with a great reference. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for music, creativty, humor and laughter.
God bless you all. &
p.s. I believe in you. Keep moving forward. Ya you!!
I’m grateful for my 133rd Wednesday in a row without a drink.
I’m grateful to have inner peace at the moment in spite of all the insanity in the world, and within my brain.
I’m grateful to be the best version of me. Far from perfect, far better than I was.
I’m grateful for time outs. I put myself in time out today and took a nap. I naps!
I’m grateful to accept my imperfections and my character defects. I’m grateful for the willingness to improve. I’m grateful to not expect immediate results. I’m grateful I feel ok about myself today.
I’m grateful that being clean and sober is valuable to me.
I’m grateful to recognize me in the people who can’t or won’t surrender to recovery. It makes me even more grateful to be clean and sober today.
I had really hard time becoming willing to have a sponsor. It’s been really good for me.
Me knowing how the steps work based on my past recovery wasn’t giving me the results I’m getting now.
I hope you find the right guy.
Morning,
Grateful to read so many days from so many people lately, it’s really inspiring and makes me determined to get what they’ve got - I guess that’s what this is all about, it works.
Grateful for healthy food choices, i had a weekend away and it’s not always possible to choose a healthy meal, grateful to be back on it.
Grateful for what I’ve got, what my family has. We have all we need.
I’m grateful I chose to be on this journey, ive been on it a while now and there’s been a few bumps along the way. I love who I am without the booze, I’m grateful I’m here
Top of the morning to ya folks
