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’m grateful for the day ahead of me, even though I feel a bit (ok, more than that) anxious about leaving here and leaving Mom. (I also know it’s time to leave, too - there’s anxiety sometimes when I’m with her, trying to meet her where she’s at.) Anxious about work stuff too. And there’s another long drive ahead of me and I just wanna get there now! Patience, M.
I never thought of myself as anxious. I’m grateful to be sober so that I can actually feel these feelings and not be overwhelmed by them or try to numb them. I’m grateful for the calming effect that nature has on me.
I’m grateful for all the support to be sober and work on my recovery.
I’m grateful @Dazercat is gonna be a grampy - again! Lucky kids, those grandkids.
I’m grateful for coffee, for music, for memes, for friends, for the dog girl, for burts bees honey lip balm, for the thundershowers yesterday and last night.
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 @M-be-free49 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
My sobriety
My attitude of gratitude
This amazing app and everyones contributions
Finding an energetic beginners meeting last night
Online AA meetings
A cozy bed and Boscoe snuggles
A great deep convo with my hubby last night
My progress mentally, emotionally, physically
Your sobriety
I’m grateful for AlAnon.
I’m grateful to see Boscoe’s little face on here while typing. I hope I got the name right.
I’m grateful for the 5 am great horned owl alarm I got happening.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful for my dogs sitting out here in the morning with me.
I’m grateful our best friends are coming in from Austin tonight.
I’m grateful we’re all going to a concert tomorrow night. I’m grateful it will be my first concert sober. Huh. Actually that’s not true. I’m grateful during my drinking days I went to shows with my kids in recovery and I abstained for them then. I’m grateful this will be for me.
I’m grateful for Gods blessings. Especially the gift of life. My daughter and SIL been trying to have a baby for years now. They didn’t want medical assistance of any kind. I’m grateful for both their recovery and if that isn’t letting go and letting God I don’t know what is.
I’m grateful for my pool guy. He fixed my waterfall and now I know it’s 6am when it comes on.
I’m grateful for Ed the electrician and Ed the plumber. I’m grateful for the appliance guys who hopefully fixed our washing machine with a new gasket.
I’m grateful the recycling dumpsters weren’t overflowing and I had plenty of room for more of my boxes. I’m grateful I hope that was the last trip to the recycling dumpsters.
I’m grateful for Earl H. I’m grateful I remembered his name. He was the guy I was quoting yesterday. I’m grateful I found him on line and I’m listening to him speak.
I’m grateful he told me why we work the steps again and again. Something to the affect of. Every time we learn everything about step one. When we do it again, we “get to” learn more. And because we’re in a different place in our recovery.
I’m grateful I thought Maybe there’s some cool AlAnon speakers out there. Thanks Google and YouTube. Of course there are.
I’m grateful my wife inadvertently is making me work more on myself.
And it’s currently not PISSING ME OFF
I’m grateful it’s kind of a happy place.
I, too, am so grateful for this thread. To spend time last night before sleep (curled up on a futon by a woodstove - see below) catching up on it and refilling my soul tanks with your gratitude!
I’m grateful I changed my plans so I could spend a night (prob two) with a dear old pal at her cabin she is opening for summer. My boss from ages ago, she is one of the friends who knows I’m recovering, and being with her, and here, is so soothing. We sat by the fire, listened to the birds, and watched the northern sun set late (yawn!).
I’m grateful for the cool air this morning, for the cacophony of birdsong (those birds aren’t getting a full 8hrs!). Today I’ll putter at my work to start catching up, and we’ll putter around here, and then this afternoon go look for wild orchids and should see some pelicans too. Could it get any better than this, I ask myself?
I’m grateful to learn how vast my thoughts and feelings can change each day - from anxiety to calm to gratitude - and even more grateful to know I don’t have to drink or numb them away.
I’m grateful for all the support I have to be and stay sober, for the opportunity to work on my recovery everyday.
I’m grateful for another day.
EDIT: I don’t wanna leave here! I’ll put another on the sunset thread
Aw, thank you @Callie99! I know I’m grateful for your honest shares, and also grateful you followed your intuition and came back here.
I’m grateful for how genuinely and authentically we share our stories here, and for the real connection we create. There’s a whole lot behind each little avatar, and I’m grateful to be here with you all.
I’m grateful that I didn’t drink yesterday or want to.
I’m grateful for not starting an argument with my partner.
I’m grateful for not spending £15 on wine.
I’m grateful for getting in my bed and sleeping til it’s time to get up.
I’m grateful for not texting people in my phone book with crazy messages that have lots of spelling mistakes.
I’m grateful to drive under the limit this morning, completely under the limit.
I’m grateful to think about things I want to think about during the day instead of arguing with myself about buying alcohol.
I’m grateful for the support that helps me do all these things
I’m just grateful to see you in this E way 
instant fucking tears 
& 
PISSING ME OFF
