My sobriety
My growing willpower and resolve
The hubby and Boscoe
My moms love and support
The health of my family
A home which is my safe place
A new job and learning
Online AA meetings
Waking up before the alarm
Time to get my daily caffine in
My sobriety
I’m grateful for life.
Literally, 14 minutes ago I noticed one of my pool pumps isn’t working And literally 4 minutes ago I get a text that today is my sons 9 years sober date. How fucken cool is that? I’m grateful sometimes you don’t have to wait until tomorrow for things to be better or cheer you up. I’m grateful life can put things in perspective in 10 minutes. Who gives a shit about the pool pump when I see my sons pic enjoying a lovely breakfast celebration for his 9 years. I’m grateful after his first year he took a week off from sobriety. Called his rehab and they took him in for a one week refresher. And now he’s got 9 years. I’m calling it 10. But he’s adamant that he’s only got 9. I guess he’s sober today. And that’s the only day that matters.
I’m grateful I did a lot of gratitude in my mind this morning while making coffee and doing my chores. And I can’t remember a thing right now that I wanted to list through my tears of happiness.
I’m grateful when Mavy swipes at me in the morning when I try to feed him.
I’m grateful Minnie got up on the bed with me last night. She didn’t stay long. I’m grateful Minnie knows when I’m lonely. She’s a good dog that one.
I’m grateful I can remember a really bad day over 10 years ago and I was crying to God and whining about being all alone in this shit. Whatever this shit was at the time. Immediately right after my thoughts with God a young Minnie jumped up on my lap and was like. What about ME? You got me right here!! I’m grateful when God answers my prayers and the way He takes care of me.
I’m grateful I got God on my side. “He’s the biggest dog in the junkyard” can’t remember the guy who said that at a meeting. But I’ll never forget so many of his shares.
I’m grateful I can let go and let God.
I’m grateful I know I got to work on letting go and letting God every effing day I’m grateful some days it’s harder than others. I’m grateful that reminds me I still have to work on it.
I’m grateful for this APP
I’m grateful for this thread.
I’m grateful for you.
YA YOU!!
You’re worth it.
And so am I.
I’m grateful to God please help me be the best clean and sober version of myself while doing your will just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful there is an NA meeting tonight. I’m grateful there is a meeting in ten minutes recovery based, facilitated by my housing program so we can discuss issues in the building. I’m grateful for a nice visit with my sister yesterday at lunch then later with my Aunt for dinner. I’m grateful I ordered more Amazon and can’t wait to show off the one piece. I’m grateful for music and creativity, humor and laughter.
God bless you all. &
P.s. Don’t ever give up, I believe in you, you rock. Ya You!!
I am grateful for my sponsee, I love the way she has thrown herself into the program and wants recovery so bad.
I am grateful for my man-friend, I love the way he looks at me and that we are experiencing so many first together.
I am grateful for my clean girl gang, I love their honesty, and vulnerability.
I am grateful for my twinnie, I love his caring, generous nature but I am so happy to see that he is living more of his life for himself lately.
I am grateful for my parents, I love them for always seeing the good in me. Although it was difficult when I was suffering to have parents that couldn’t see me, I am grateful they never really saw my pain.
I am grateful for my kiddo, I love that she is getting braver and reaching past me to live.
Morning,
I’m happy to see the lupin, it’s my favourite plant in my garden.
Today I’m grateful for my dog walk, as soon as I stepped outside I felt the air or atmosphere, it was different than usual, warm and close and there was a different smell.
As I was walking I smelt a nice smell and saw a big honeysuckle, it was so lovely.
I’m grateful that we put the bird feeder on our bedroom window, we have lots of visitors and it’s so much nicer in the mornings to watch the birds than scroll through nonsense on our phones.
I’m grateful to be present in my life
I slept through the night
Boscoe cuddles
My hubby
My sober support system
My mom telling me shes so proud of me
Taking it ODAAT makes this disease manageable
The desire to keep stacking the days
A lovely convo I had with @SassyBoomer about no rush to find that AA sponsor and to follow my intuition
Everyone here being so raw, honest, and supportive
Hot coffee
Being happy with work
Learning patience with myself
My sobriety
I’m grateful to God please help me be my best self while performing your will, clean and sober, just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the rain streaming down this morning. I’m grateful for coffee. I’m grateful for the fresh fruits my sister dropped off last night. I’m grateful to have caught up, if only briefly, with the majority of my supports here at home. I’m grateful for the opportunities to give back that this new housing provides and that when or if I need support, it is available, pretty much in house. I’m grateful for this amazon firestick my sister installed to my tv for me so I am not limited to the smaller screens of my cell phone or laptop and that she hooked me up with her amazon account, lots of good stuff on there. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for music, humor and laughter. I’m grateful the laundry room is just down the hall and I can afford to do it. I’m grateful I can sadly accept that my Edmonton Oilers got swept out of the Nhl playoffs yesterday. I’m grateful the rain isn’t causing any flare ups in my back or knee, where ever this new knee pain has been coming from I don’t know, its great getting older isn’t it. I’m grateful I slept like a champ last night. I’m grateful to read all your gratitude.
God bless you all. &
I’m grateful Brian beat me to the gratitude list by 15 minutes so it’s easy to find at the top. Well that’s not the only reason Brian. My gratitude brother I’m just grateful to see you in this E way
I’m grateful for AlAnon.
I’m grateful I’m actually going to miss my Monday and Tuesday meetings here.
I’m grateful the Great Horned Owl I was listening to earlier just landed on my yucca tree. OMG
He looks like Daisy Cat
I’m grateful for all the birds and wildlife that welcome me to my new home.
Where was I
I’m grateful both AlAnon meetings were about God. Step 3 and step 11. I’m grateful to listen to other peoples faith and beliefs about God and I’m grateful for my open mind. I’m grateful someone complimented me on my share about God. Seriously? I can’t even remember what I said.
I’m grateful to be at the AlAnon meetings. Coming and going not so much. I’m grateful I have to continue to say to my qualifier “I’m going for me.”
I’m grateful I’m going to be a grandpa again
I haven’t even been a grandpa yet
I’m grateful when my daughter texted us and wants to know if she can call us, my mind doesn’t go to the worse case scenario scenes anymore. She FaceTimed us, while I was driving, to tell us she pregnant. I could have killed her. It’s hard to drive and cry at the same time instant fucking tears I’m grateful for tears of happiness and joy. Fucken aye. Both my kids are having babies.
Just wow
I’m grateful to share that with y’all.
I’m grateful I get to sit here in the morning with the puppas and watch the sunrise.
I’m grateful for AlAnon. I can say that again.
I’m grateful for the hummingbird that just came up for a drink.
I’m grateful maybe some day I’ll sit here and be grateful for things that happen in each moment.
I’m grateful for the power of gratitude.
Grateful for y’all.
I’m grateful for Chicklets Moxie. Am I spelling it right
I’m grateful I read this, this morning Twinnie. It made me think of you. We joke around about being in each other’s head You make your life hard by always being in your head. Life is simple, get out of your head and into the moment.
We got to get out of our own head
Good morning all,
I’m grateful I have the day off today. I’m grateful that I voiced my need for time off to my boss, and I’m grateful to be working on the feelings of guilt and… maybe anger? that I have around this.
I’m grateful to be going to get my windshield replaced today. Traveling as much as I do means it will probably be cracked again within the month, but I’ll enjoy the clear view as long as I can! I’m grateful for friendship. I’m grateful for all of the happy shares on here! I’m grateful for the daily reminder that there is good and love in this world. Everyone have a wonderful day
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for our little fitness challenges and that I joined them.
I am grateful I like my fitness app.
I am grateful for fresh food, a shower and electricity.
I am grateful for the internet.
I am grateful I have enough.
I’m grateful to read everybodies gratitude list today.
I wasn’t feeling it, but I am now. My dental appointment for tomorrow got cancelled. The Dr. had a family emergency. The next opening is in six weeks. I’m tired of being in pain. I’m tired of how long this has been taking to get resolved. Poor me.
I’m not going to pour a drink though. I’m grateful to know the pain relief for my mouth wouldn’t be worth the pain in my soul. I’m grateful to know that the risk is to great. Im grateful that recovery is valuable.
I’m grateful I’m good with my money in recovery. I will be OK.
Im grateful my dental issues gave me time to work on other projects like my videos. I’ll keep it up until I can film new content. I’m grateful I still have many trips filmed that I never had time to edit.
These are my stats for the last 28 days. Most of my views happened in the last 10 days, just before I was qualified to monetize my channel.
Then, I learned that my most viral videos all had copyrighted music, disqualifying me from any revenue, so I deleted them and have been remaking them. Which has slowed down traffic to my channel. Live and learn. I’m grateful anyways because it helped me stay sober.
I’m grateful that I felt anxious going out tonight and that set off signals in my head that I need to be more present here. I have been happy as a clam traveling and going to restaurants sober but for some reason it hit different tonight. My friends kept saying “it’s happy hour” and I felt agitated by it. When I would not have the past few months. Then I realized it was my mind alerting me that I’ve drifted off from my recovery community. I’m grateful I had a Diet Coke and that the agitation led me here- and not to a drink. I’m grateful that I do have 253 sober days under my belt, but I know I’m always one drink away from having to start over. I’m grateful I’m intuitive and could feel the disconnection seeping in on my recovery immediately. I’m grateful that I can see my addiction recovery needs to spend some time in the front seat right now. I’m grateful I can take a deep breath and take a step back and realize where my emotions are coming from now. That I don’t numb them. That they are here to guide me. I’m grateful that I do keep a gratitude list in my journal. But there is something to sharing the beautiful, ordinary parts with all of you. I’m grateful @Dazercat is going to to be a gramps x2. I’m grateful @JasonFisher YouTube channel is growing. I’m grateful for @bootz reminder that every day is a gift. That sometimes I loose sight of that in the hustle of every day life. I’m grateful for my best friend and that I can love and hold space for him in a difficult time. I’m so grateful for @ShesGotMoxie, thank you for being such a good friend to me. I feel so blessed to have you in my life. I’m grateful to read @eph-M-eral gratitudes, they always strike a cord with me. I’m grateful I can be here and then meditate before bed. I’m grateful I’m in my cozy bed, sober, and listening that I need some sleep and rest. I’m grateful for my recovery, for the journey, for the stillness that keeps me connected to my heart. I’m grateful for all of you
This is one of my favorite threads. I’m truly grateful for everyone of you
I’m grateful for Max who bumps into things but doesn’t get upset. I’m grateful that he shows me that even though life gives you setbacks, you can still love and be loved for who you are.
I’m grateful for Riley for loving me and Max and knowing we love her.
I’m grateful for the grace of God, I’m still alive.
I’m grateful for a roof over our heads and food to eat. I’m grateful I have somewhere to go and tell you what I’m going through, with zero judgement. Some of you may know, Max is blind, and Riley is being herself, blocking his bed. Luckily he learned his stairs before he lost his sight completely.
It has been too long since I’ve joined y’all here and when I keep my gratitude to myself there is significantly less of it.
Today I am grateful for my job - that I was able to return to work while I am still healing. I am grateful I don’t need to rely on crutches anymore. The squirrels have been eating down a lot of my garden plants but I am grateful I was able to hobble down there to see it.
I am grateful for my clean time, the perspective it grants me, and that I wasn’t triggered when my doctor tried to prescribe me certain meds. I am glad that my father knows how seriously I take my recovery and stands behind me not taking said meds.
I am grateful my mum has started to consider therapy. I am grateful for my friends that call me out of the blue to check on me. I am grateful that tomorrow I will have an empty quiet house all to myself.
I’m grateful to God please help me be the best version of myself while doing your will, clean and sober, just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery with its challenges and blessings. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that lately I have been able to adjust my sleep schedule to midnight to eight, I have spent most of my life sleeping untill noon and being up all hours of the night. I’m grateful my cupboards and fridge are full. I’m grateful for coffee and gratitude in the sun. I’m grateful that I got to take a nice long nature walk with one of my good friends last night. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and the principles they teach. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful for feeling pretty good physically, mentally and spiritually. I’m grateful that I have lots to do and that I have been getting lots done.
God bless you all. &
Good morning all,
I’m grateful to have a few minutes before I leave for work to read and contribute my gratitude. I’m grateful for a job that pays the bills. I’m grateful for coworkers that I like (mostly lol). I’m grateful for the pink and blue sunrise, and the birds chirping in the trees this morning. I’m grateful for my kids, and for my husband. I’m grateful that I’ve had a couple bad dreams lately about completely ignoring or blowing off my husband, and I’m going to interpret that as a sign to be more thoughtful and kind to him. I’m grateful that I have names for some of my houseplants. Sounds dumb but when I was drinking, I couldn’t even manage to keep a plant alive, much less name and nurture them. I’m grateful that my dogs are always so happy to see me.
Everyone have a wonderful day
