Good evening all,
I’m grateful for crockpots and to have some food ready when I get home from work. I’m grateful for laughter at work. I’m grateful I packed a good lunch to get me through the day, and didn’t go for the sugary crap. I’m grateful for happy dog tails wagging when I come home. I’m grateful for my kids and the weird conversations we have. I’m grateful that I am trying to do and be better.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I like your vision. 
Back in autumn, I gave away the swing that I loved to sit on, and I gave away two patio chairs. We built a new bench and two Adirondack chairs, trying to change it up and make it feel different. I guess I need to go out there for short periods of time, so that I can find my footing. I’m gonna get there.

Good morning 
Today I am grateful that I was able to recognize when I over did it yesterday and was able to let my family know and instead of grabbing something to drink I simply went to bed early and got the rest I needed.
Today im grateful for finding this community and slowly learning my way around it. Reading all of your gratitudes has been very uplifting to me so thank you.
Today I remain grateful for what seems never ending rain, lol hopefully we will be out of drought stage this summer and not have to burn the rest of the summer here where I live.
Today I am grateful my sponsor pushed me to make commitments to meetings by signing up to chair them. I hate commitments but its something that I want to change about me.
Today I am truly grateful I didn’t have a hangover nor did I have to drink to start my day.
Have a wonderful day out there friends.

I’m grateful my cute little Twinnie pace car has 900 days today And I’m grateful that means Lisa is at 1000. I’m grateful to grow with them in my sobriety and the light they shine for me leading the way.
I’m grateful Daisy is up on my lap keeping it warm and purring.
I’m grateful for Bootz telling me about the Revovery Show Podcast. I’m grateful I found one on compassion for the alcoholic. I’m grateful I woke up during it, just in time to hear about detachment with love. As opposed to the middle finger detachment which has been my preferred method. I’m grateful to know my wife is “in there somewhere,” and that this disease has a firm grip on her. And for fucksake I have to go all the way back to step 1 again 
I’m grateful to learn again I’m powerless over alcohol. But I know this. I’m grateful I get to learn it again. I’m grateful I have a funny feeling it’s not going to be my last time learning this. I’m grateful the podcast turned me on to a new Lady Gaga song. And I love it 
I’m grateful they also turned me on to a song call Decide To Be Happy. MisterWives. I’m grateful I have an open mind to Google that song. I’m like, 
I’m not listening to a song that tells me to be happy. The nerve!! They said it was quirky and now I love that one too.
Thank you thank you Bootz I will listen to it again until I get it down and stay awake 
The Podcast and the songs. I’m grateful I’m going to build a new AlAnon playlist with Lady G leading the way. I’m grateful I find so much power and healing in music.
I’m grateful how God pounds a message into my head as this mornings reading was……… wait for it……about being powerless of alcohol ALL RIGHT! I GET IT! I’m grateful I have no way to stop the compulsion for someone to drink. And I surrender the reins of control over other human beings. Like I had any control in the first place.
I’m grateful my car is ready at the shop.
I’m grateful when they called yesterday and I wanted to get it I didn’t get angry when my wife said she couldn’t drive. I’m grateful I thought. I’ll get it tomorrow.
I’m grateful for cool mountain temperatures.
I’m grateful we slept with the windows open.
I’m grateful for my blessings and I’m double blessed on my recoveries.
I’m grateful it wasn’t windy yesterday. God bless all the firefighters 
And first responders everywhere.

I’m grateful for God, I’m grateful because I get to live another glorious day! I’m grateful for an app I found called NextDoor that introduces you to people in your neighborhood so you can meet in public places for coffee and comradery so you don’t become a hermit because you can’t hang out with the people you used to use/drink with (WHEW!). I’m grateful for EVERYTHING!

There’s nothing wrong with that. I am returning to step one multiple times a day somedays. It’s what I do to stay afloat.

I am grateful for the program of NA and that step one covers me… “We admitted we were powerless over addiction — that our lives had become unmanageable.”
I am grateful to know that I am an addict, I have accepted that and surrendered to it. I am grateful that I can see addiction in all of my behaviors, self injuring, and eating disorders included. I am grateful that I do not have to do any part of my recovery alone. Every single step in the 12 step program starts with ‘We’. As an addict I have suffered in isolation now I can thrive in company. I am grateful that I feel no shame when I speak my truth. I am grateful that my truth feels different today, it used to be presented with shame and remorse but today when I share it, the darkness is carried in light. I am grateful for the moon and all her phases and for the sun who makes her shine. I am grateful for knowledge, passion, and experience. I am grateful for love.

I’m grateful for a little break in my day and time to catch up on this beloved thread and all of your gratitudes.
This week is a busy one! And I’m away for work with colleagues. I’m grateful to learn, again, that wine isn’t a “reward” for keeping up with the busyness. I’m also grateful I feel no urge to indulge in any of the copious bottles of wine in our present work accommodations. If that changes, I’m grateful I have people I can reach out to instead of pouring a glass!
I’m also grateful I can acknowledge the truth to myself now. Sometimes I can be hurt so easily! And then I withdraw a bit, and want to deny - even to myself - ever feeling hurt. I’m grateful I can acknowledge it to myself now, tend to it healthily, and also see that I take things a bit too personally. A few of my colleagues sure get snappy and petty when they’re hungry-angry-lonely-tired! Oh well. I don’t think I’m too different 
. I’m grateful I know when to get/take some space.
I’m grateful that I can trust in my recovery, and that I truly believe that this is the only life for me. This will cause some big uncomfortable changes, mostly for others in my life, has started to already, but the alternative is pretty dismal…
I’m grateful for the forest behind my home, those trees are about the best company going, and full of chatty birds. I couldn’t be fully present to it when I drank. Now I am again, and I love it.
I’m grateful @Bootz ran 100km so that I never have to! 
I’m grateful for another day.

I’m grateful for another consecutive day sober. I’m grateful that my faith is strong and I can push through the pain. I’m grateful to God because I know he has a plan for me. I’m grateful I’m alive. I’m grateful that I like my job and I’m good at it. I’m grateful for my home. I’m grateful for Max and Riley; even when Riley (right now) is meowing at me to go upstairs. I’m grateful for @Its_me_Stella for teaching me how to bookmark. I’m grateful that my AC is working on these hot days. I’m grateful for the kindness and support I receive from all of you. I’m grateful to be on this sober journey with you. God Bless and Goodnight.

Morning,
I’m grateful I didn’t drink yesterday or want to.
I’m grateful to realise how missing posting here affects things and how posting here affects things.
I missed my gratitude yesterday and I missed time to myself. I was definitely cranky. I said to my partner at one point “I need to gratitude” but never got round to it.
I’m grateful to realise someone else’s mood affects my mood. It can be hard getting away from it, especially when ‘me time’ isn’t happening. It can be hard to listen sometimes to others when they don’t do anything about what’s going on.
I’m grateful for my window bird feeder this morning and I can see blue skies.
I’m grateful to have everything I need.
