Good morning.
I am grateful for the smell of sunscreen and the warmth of the sun on my skin.
I am grateful for the sound of my bamboo windchimes as the breeze comes off the ocean.
I am grateful for my dad’s hugs and even though he has gotten so much smaller I still feel like a little girl in his arms.
I am grateful that not all things need to be done a specific way, that it’s as good when things just get done.
I am grateful for inclusion and how that makes me feel. I am so hypersensitive to the inclusion of others simply because I have been excluded so much in my life.
I am grateful for the meeting topic of open-mindedness last night. I shared about how closed minded I can be and that is my truth but it is generally my addict who is in control of those choices. When I take a step back and listen to my heart I become willing and opened-minded very quickly.
I am grateful for the journey to my heart.

I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober while performing your will, 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 I can help my oldest friend move today. I’m grateful I can afford to pay for his move for him, if need be, him and his family saved my life, far to many times, housed, fed and loved me when my wife passed, when a different girlfriend kicked me out, got me work and so much more, they are the family I got to choose. I’m grateful I can admit it is going to be sad watching him have to move out leaving his kids, pets and wife behind, it affects me, one of the things I looked forward to coming back was to be close to them all again. I’m grateful I can let go and let God, adapt to the new way and make it the best I can for me and them. I’m grateful for music, laughter and humor.
God bless you all. 
& 
p.s. You are amazing. Ya you!!

Good morning Brian. 
I’m grateful you got a FIRESTICK I hope you’re enjoying it and your new apartment.
I’m grateful for AlAnon.
I’m grateful I KNOW I NEED AlAnon.
I’m grateful for recovery.
I’m grateful I think I thought I knew everything 
I’m grateful I don’t know shit.
I’m grateful I found an AlAnon speaker on YouTube. He was ok. But it also led me to another one that I liked immediately, at least the first 10 minutes. I’m grateful I can listen to the rest of it later.
I’m grateful when my wife asked me to put away all the AlAnon literature in the house I happily obliged.
I’m grateful my friends made it in last night. Delayed. But safely. I’m grateful they are already out exercising 
. Before fucking coffee! aliens 
Im grateful, therefore, I get my quiet time outside with the dogs and waterfall running into my swimming pool.
I’m grateful he’s not drinking much anymore. He never really did. I’m grateful I don’t think it would matter to me how much he drank. As far as triggering me or whatever. But it’s nice he barely even drinks anymore.
I’m grateful we’re all going to see Barenaked Ladies tonight and Toad The Wet Sprocket. I’m grateful, This Guy! Won’t have to “watch his drinking.” I’ll just watch the show.
I’m grateful I got in all my devotionals and readings this morning. I’m grateful I just realized I forgot my prayers 
I’m grateful that’s ok. I grateful I got about 16 hours left in the day for a prayer or 2
I’m grateful changing myself for the better is the only way I can find peace and serenity.
I’m grateful for YOU 
Just for today:
I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision

I am grateful to start my days out with myself. Journaling, meditation, and moving my body.
I am grateful I’ve been catching up with old friends. I’m grateful I have really good ones who love me.
I am grateful for new opportunities. Not that just landed on my lap, like I used to think they would come along. But ones I’ve worked very hard for. I’m grateful I’ve been filling myself with love. I’m grateful I seek it less. I’m grateful I can always find what I need within. And when external love and happiness come my way there’s just more to go around. It makes my heart happy. I’m grateful for the calm and peace in my life. Not long ago I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. This is not to say that I don’t feel anxious, that old habits don’t try and resurface, that my mind still races and I overthink, that I don’t have fears and things I’m still working on every day. But I dig deeper when they come up. I invite them in and sit with them. They start to loose their power over me. I’m grateful my heart is much wiser then my mind. I’m grateful for Rue. I’m grateful she has such a personality. Just seeing how happy she gets when we go on a walk or when I get home or for a dog cookie, reminds me to always grateful for the little things. I’m grateful my heart gets the zoomies for so much these days. I’m grateful to feel at home in my body. I’m grateful I feel safe and grounded. I’m grateful for my creativity. I’m grateful for my fears and the things I’m still working to overcome. That I know they are here to help me grow, to keep pushing me forward to embrace all that is me

I am grateful I woke up today. I am grateful that though I hobble around during the day, while I’m asleep I have dreams of running. I am grateful for good coffee. I am grateful that I have an open window in my office with a nice breeze blowing in. I am grateful that so far today it is less uncomfortable sitting at desk. I am grateful for friends that are supportive of a big decision I’ve recently made and for how this decision has lifted a big weight off of me. I am grateful to have goals & dreams and that life is opening up so I am able to pursue them.

Last night I purchased tickets to the upcoming NA convention for my granddaughter and I. The last one was five years ago in California. I also got a hotel room for Saturday night. A good hotel. Not a pay for the hour or by the week one. I have money set aside for food and gas. I paid my bills off first and still have money in the bank. Why do I mention all this? Because 28 years ago we were rolling in money and our bills never got paid, our kids got neglected and we never had money for anything but that next score. Today I’m on social security and make maybe a fifth of what we squandered each month before. So I am incredibly grateful for recovery. I am grateful for those who led the way before me and taught me a new way of life. I am grateful to still be breathing. I am grateful for all of you. Gratitude has to be my favorite word in recovery.

I’m grateful I already found and bookmarked the first one I’ll listen too soon. Real soon.
“Finding Compassion For The Alcoholic.”
I’m grateful I realize I got no compassion left in me.
I’m empty.
Thank you so much Boots.
Just what I needed today 🥲

I’m grateful that I didn’t drink yesterday or want to.
I’m grateful for journalling, I love reading back how I was feeling on past days, it helps keep me moving in the right direction.
I’m grateful for early mornings while everyone is still asleep, just me.
Yesterday I felt like Mrs Large in the book 5 Minutes Peace, a mum trying to find a quiet spot in the house to have a moment to herself. I could feel myself starting to feel sorry for myself but my partner actually asked me what was up so I told him, normally I would brush my feelings aside. Once I’d spoken about it I was fine.
I’m grateful I made for time to myself tonight, with a cup of tea and TS

Hi everyone 
I’m grateful for some time to myself. I’m so happy to have my parents here and to be able to take them to some of my favorite places. Thankfully they love to visit Colorado.
I’m grateful my father-in-law’s celebration of life went so well. I’m grateful my dad went up and spoke so graciously about him. I’m grateful that even though I’ve been sick, I was well enough to attend. I’m grateful for the beautiful flowers my sister sent for the gathering. She’s a real sweetheart.
I’m grateful for @Callie99. She’s kind and thoughtful, and I’m happy to have her in my life. It’s truly awesome to have a friend that just knows and gets me. I love and appreciate you, Caroline. 
I’m grateful for Eric’s happy news! @Dazercat I’m so excited for all of you. Two new little someones to love! I can’t wait to see pictures of more cute chicklets. 
Congratulations again, Grampy! 
I’m sincerely grateful for y’all. I miss seeing the gratitude here when I’m away. I’m hoping life calms down after this weekend. 
I’m grateful for my kiddos. I’ve known enough other families who don’t have what we have to know that I’m blessed with my children. They graciously come together for us and for the whole family when they’re needed. I was really proud of them this past weekend and so thankful they’re in my life.
I’m grateful to be sober. I have memories now, and that wasn’t the story when I was drinking. It feels good to wake up a day later, a week or even a month later, and remember all I’ve done and things that have happened. I wasn’t truly living before sobriety. I’m grateful I found my way here.

I wanna give thanks today for my sobriety and this community and all the work I put in and the commitment I make to myself daily to stand up for myself and grow towards the life I want. Today I went to an admission interview for a creative degree which has been my absolute childhood dream to do. It was so hard to not abandon myself every step of the way during preparation, submission of my work, prep for this interview today, picking an outfit, making the train journey, talking to an impressive and dead cool mofo of a Professor without falling apart and believing the old voices in my head that scream you’re nothing you’re nothing, run away and hide already. I am grateful for all the tools I have. For my super supportive partner who helped me prep and believes in me, and the friends I told about this and who were loving and excited and my sister who gave me a bear hug and started crying when I told her. I am grateful for the experience that this is possible for me, to put myself out there. I have literally never put myself out there before. I am so grateful for this journey. Whether I get the coveted spot to study there or not, I have so much to be grateful for already.
Thank you. Also, cross your fingers!
