I’m grateful we made it home safely yesterday.
I’m grateful the fire is on the other side of town and up in the mountains and no one’s home has been lost yet. I’m grateful for the technology to get up to date news about the fire. It’s a strange shockingly sad uncomfortable bunch of feelings I get to feel living up in fire country. I’m grateful I can feel them.
I’m grateful to be back up in the mountains at out of the blistering heat in the valley.
I’m grateful for the 2 hour drive yesterday.
I’m grateful we have 2 cars here since my car won’t start I’m grateful I get to have a list of things to do and I’m going to get to them when I get to them. I don’t have to do them all at once.
I’m grateful we can wait to walk the dogs at 8 instead of 7 or 6:30.
I’m grateful my yard guy has my yard looking pretty, pretty good for our return.
I’m grateful for the ponderosa pines and we are far from that fire.
I’m grateful for another day. I’m grateful I’m gonna try like hell to go with the flow. A nice calm sober, “how important is it,” “let go and let God,” Flow
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
Thomas Merton: No Man Is An Island.
Fucken aye Thank you God. I needed that one. What took you so long?
Today I am grateful my higher power helped me keep my snappy mouth shut and instead be kind when I wanted to be snappy.
Today im grateful that the mental obsession to drink has been removed yet im also grateful that I have the knowledge that the physical allergy will always be there.
Today I am grateful that I have the opportunity to show up in my family life and be the best mother and wife I can be.
Today I am grateful for every alcoholic and addict that I have the opportunity to come across for whatever reason my higher power puts them in my path.
Holy crap what a visual testimony! You just might have planted a seed for someone and don’t even know it. Congrats on your strength of will and your sobriety.
I am grateful for the things I can feel today, my emotions, my partners hand in mine, energy. I am grateful that living spiritual principles such as creativity, balance, and simplicity in my daily life has really rooted my recovery. I am grateful for normalcy, like spraying houseplants and picking rose petals for water. I am grateful that my partner can look at me and not imagine me loaded. “I can’t even imagine you drunk or high.” For a dope fiend/alcoholic like me to hear words like those… wow, am I ever grateful. I am grateful that after 33 years in active addiction the program of NA has been able to teach me how to live a productive life. I am grateful to have many people in my life today that will never know me loaded if I just keep doing the next right thing, ODAAT.
Stella, once in awhile I get a feeling of gratitude that is special. It’s always when I meet an officer in uniform in a store. I go up to them and put my hand out to shake telling them that in 1994 I got arrested for shoplifting and drugs, then I thank them for their sister saving my life. Most often they give me a look of wait, what?? It is very amazing after the past that only us here can understand to have someone unable to picture us in that life style. Wonderful job! Live life to the fullest.
I’m grateful I’m not afraid of my emotions anymore. It feels much better (and the negative ones pass much quicker) when I’m fully present through them. I actually feel more grounded, more capable of processing. Sobriety gave me that. I gave me that.
I’m grateful for sunshine and mountains and spring runoff. I’m grateful I live in such a beautiful place. I’m grateful for my new SUP and grateful for a beautiful lake near my house.
I’m grateful I finally went out on our patio and discovered I don’t feel comfortable out there, yet. I hope that changes, because we have a lovely patio. It’s just one more place I need to learn to enjoy without wanting a drink. I guess that’s normal, I don’t know.
I’m grateful for being. I’m grateful for knowing and having doubts. I’m grateful I am learning to be a better person.
I’m grateful to God please help guide me through the rest of the day clean and sober while doing your will. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that yesterday was quite relaxing down at the lake with my parents, siblings, brother in law and nieces. I’m grateful I got my apartment cleaned up this a.m. as well as dishes, laundry and a meeting. I’m grateful I attempted to get some computer work done today and failed but do not feel like a failure just need to ask for help and be patient. I’m grateful I can call my Mom for help with some of the many questions required to apply for a birth certificate. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for music.
God bless you all. &
I had a beautiful vision even though I have no idea what your patio looks like. The vision was of you sitting in a serene little meditation space, on a patio. You were cross legged on a floor cushion with the mountain scape behind you. It is hard to do the same activities we did in a space we used to use during active addiction, but it is possible to make something new quite easily. Lots of inspiration on pintrest if you are interested.
I’m grateful to be breathing another day free from the chains of addiction. I’m grateful my COPD doesn’t have me bedridden. I’m very grateful for a clean house with tp in every bathroom and more in the pantry. I’m grateful we have the basic necessities and that I’ve learned to curb my desire for more and more. I’m grateful for my family, including the addicts, who respect my recovery. I’m grateful my daughter found the same cookbook I had when she was a child in an antique store so I can sit here waiting for my homemade wheat bread to rise. I’m grateful to be able to sit outside on our circular swing in the shade and listen to Mother Earth sing. I’m grateful to be able to feel gratitude today.
I’m grateful I’m on a new day sober. I’m grateful I have consecutive days. I’m grateful I could find a refurbished fire tablet to use zoom (don’t want to use my work laptop). I’m grateful for @Twizzlers for giving me the zoom # for the Women’s 24 hr meeting. I’m grateful my workday is done and even though I’ve thought about drinking, the impulse didn’t go past thought. I’m grateful for this site even though I know there’s so much more and I’m a little lost at times. (Can I bookmark?) I’m grateful for Max and Riley. I’m grateful to all of you
Today I’m grateful for my health, my sobriety and ability to be present.
I’m grateful for no hang-xiety, actually make that I am SOOOOOO grateful for no 3am hang-xiety where I would wake up panicking and feeling like a tonne of bricks was pressing down on my chest while breaking out in sweats. Wow, I hadn’t even thought back on those feelings for a while until I started typing just now. Fk, I’m SO grateful for today!
Today I remain grateful for our never ending rain because for several years we have been in drought. Though we are nearing flood now, we severely needed our lakes, rivers and lands replenished.
Today I am grateful I didn’t have to wake up hungover or start my morning with a drink.
Today I am grateful for my sponsor who willingly gives of her time to help me become a better human and helps me live within my own skin as I rediscover who I am through the steps of AA.
Today I am grateful my insurance is settling my claim in my favor and I may be able to pay my fines! ( silver lining )
Today I am grateful for a chance to try again, again.
I am grateful I realise my feelings. I feel them. I still feel stuck but I cannot blame someone else than me for my past decisions. As I read somewhere: I’d like to shut down. Disappear. Freeze.
I am grateful the nights are still cool.
I am grateful for food in my fridge.
I am grateful we still have peace here. It’s strange how things seem to fall apart but there is business as usual for the lucky ones of us.
I am grateful I told my boss my opinion. I feel a bit better now, concerning this.
I’m grateful to God please help me be my best clean and sober self while doing your will just for today. I’m grateful for recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for sunrises waking me many a morning since I moved in here. I’m grateful I got to take my neighbours dog for a walk last night and maybe next time she will be even more comfortable with walking with me. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and the principles they teach.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you!!
Good morning

I am grateful for my sobriety
I’m grateful for my new AlAnon readings.
I’m grateful for https://www.todays-hope.com/
I’m grateful there’s no counter for AlAnonism because mine would be zero. I’d be relapsing 20 times a day. I’m grateful I realized I “picked up” first thing this morning and last night before bed.
I’m grateful to learn I’ve handed over my serenity to a person who is not doing it right.
I’m grateful to learn I need to get my serenity back.
And who is responsible for that? Only one guy I know
I’m grateful to realize I’m having a major codependent relapse. I’m grateful I can break it down to one hour at a time. I’m grateful I know I can do this. I’m grateful my sobriety is strong. Really really strong.
I’m grateful Daisy didn’t trip me early this morning. She tried hard enough
I’m grateful as I wrote that she just jumped up on my lap for a scratch and a purr session.
I’m grateful to see Minnie settled in on her red bench.
I’m grateful for my power washer.
I’m grateful it was easy to use to clean all the spring pollen off my deck.
I’m grateful getting my car towed to the shop yesterday went smoothly.
I’m grateful for my great cup of coffee this morning.
I’m grateful no structures have burned or people have been hurt because of the #pipelinefire
I’m grateful the weather here is so great. Temperature wise. Not all the wind and smoke.
I’m grateful the smoke is blowing the other direction. Unfortunately people in Colorado are getting it. Sorry Moxie
I’m grateful for all the gratitude shared on this thread. I’m grateful for this amazing adventure we are all on and we get to share and read.
I’m especially grateful for the new people on here. You are so important and a great reminder for me. I never want to start over again. I’m grateful I don’t know if I could.
Other people can enrich my life, but they can not be expected to satisfy my needs. As Rumi tells me, I am “blind and stubborn”, begging from others what I can find in my own heart.
I’m grateful for not drinking yesterday or wanting to.
I’m grateful to @Shaunda for talking about rediscovery, that’s what I’m doing. I feel different, calmer even though I was never feisty or angry, I guess I’m content.
I’m grateful I don’t do things I don’t want to do just because someone asks me, it’s ok to say no. It feels good to say no, to look after myself.
I’m grateful my partner joined me on my early morning walk this morning, I was surprised when he said yes, it was nice, he said he’d come again tomorrow.
I’m grateful to catch up on here when I get home from work. We’re all busy doing our own stuff, but together.
I love it here
I’m grateful I get to have a list of things to do and I’m going to get to them when I get to them. I don’t have to do them all at once.
I am happy you landed in a home savely.
It is very amazing after the past that only us here can understand to have someone unable to picture us in that life style. Wonderful job! Live life to the fullest.
