I’m grateful I’m the type of person who enjoys these kind of meaningful relationships.

I’m grateful to my spouse for all she has done and sacrificed to make me a father.
I’m grateful for all that she does to keep things in order.
I’m happy for the way we have grown as people and for the choices we’ve made together.
I’m grateful for my mother and the attention and care she gave me. She taught me many valuable lessons and sacrificed to ensure I had a good education.
Today I’m grateful I picked up my husband yesterday from the main train station. My mother didn’t answer the phone so we drove over to her place. She fell again and couldn’t get up alone! In the garden. She was wet, it had rained, she was desorientated, she left the phone on her bed. Grateful we were there to help her. Grateful I learned here on TS to hand over everything I can’t change to God. This gave me some sleep besides all the worry. I feel like crap, all my body rebels against this stress, my stomach is upset, I have the runs, my back & hips hurt awfully, the headache doesn’t go away, I really struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. Grateful this morning the mobile care service will visit her. Grateful I called a friend yesterday who will try to find a rest home for my mother, she cannot stay at home anymore, it’s dangerous. Grateful for the serenity prayer. There are so many resentments towards my mother I need to let go. I cleaned up behind my family for decades and I’m so tired and sick of this bullshit behaviour to not communicate when you need something. In time! I don’t feel capable to put out any more fires. Grateful my husband slightly snorrs next to me, it calms me.
I’m grateful to have another sober weekend under my belt.
I’m grateful to have not even realized it was a holiday until it was almost over.
I’m grateful to experience happiness in others celebrating holidays
This is another one that always leaves me feeling like I’m missing something. I’ve been working so much on myself I didn’t even notice. Now that I realized it’s here it’s nice to be able to appreciate it through others. I’m grateful for recovery.
I’m grateful to be working with another alcoholic in recovery. We did some really good work today.
My alcoholic thinking keeps coming up with reasons to stop working with a sponsor. I’m grateful I keep moving forward. I’m getting good results and becoming more willing to keep going.
I’m grateful to let go of old ideas to make room for new ones.
I’ve barely started and I feel so much better.
It’s going to be a busy week for me. it’s all good things. I’m grateful!
Eric don’t ever feel like your gratitude list is redundant. I missed not seeing it yesterday morning.
I’m grateful to read the positive that came out of Brian’s COVID isolation. Gaming with the niece is pretty cool. Sometimes it’s hard to justify making time for things like that.
Everyone’s shares here increase my gratitude! Thank you!
I’m grateful for the lessons my last relapse taught me. I still think about it and pick apart the truths about myself that I knew intellectually but not emotionally. It gives me things to think about to this day.
I’m grateful for the mindset that if we dont find something to learn from a crisis, mistake, intentional bad decision, or what could be seen as bad luck then it was a waste.
Morning,
Today I’m grateful for happiness, I’m happy. I read a post yesterday on TS about not sweating the small stuff and it made me realise how true this is. I have great kids, a lovely partner, a home, an income, my health. So what if someone doesn’t put their cardboard in the recycling straight away…its not important.
I’m grateful I visited my dad yesterday, he’s well advanced with alzheimer’s, it was a nice visit.
I’m grateful to be here, learning and reading. Or reading and learning I guess.
Have a great day
Sounds crazy, but I’m greatfull for my relapse last week (first and last time)! It taught me things (and I’m about as stubborn as it gets) that I wouldn’t have learned or felt before it. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. I’m an optimistic person, just hard headed at times
This time around, I feel much stronger and even more confident in my sobriety because it wasn’t a court order or guilty emotions that triggered me to stop drinking….this is 100% my CHOICE this time and I know what’s at stake! Not that I didn’t know before, but now it feels “more personal” and I feel so much more confident in KNOWING I can’t drink AT ALL!
Grateful I’m safe, Grateful I can keep working on myself the longer I stay sober. Grateful that I have a choice today.
I’m grateful to God.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful today would have been my moms birthday and that it sometimes fell on Mother’s Day. I’m grateful my mom was such a strong hard working woman and over loving sensitive Mother. I’m grateful for the adventures we had and her love of music. I’m grateful I could be there for her last breath
I’m grateful when I start to feel resentment coming on and try to look at the situation and use my
Al-Anon tools to let it go or figure out how important is this?
I’m grateful to Horn in on the Mother’s Day FaceTime call with our son and his wife, with my granddaughter in her belly. I’m grateful we have a new vet down here and we can board the pets and fly to Dallas to see them and the baby bump, in a few weeks. I’m grateful my daughter called but I didn’t get in on that one. And my niece/daughter sent the usual loving long Mother’s Day text message.
I’m grateful I’m figuring out my coffee since I can’t find my coffee scoop and I’m trying to only make one cup in my Chemex. I’m too stubborn to buy the coffee cup pour over like my Dad use to have. It makes me feel old. I’m grateful for my little Pixie that gets me an espresso shot before I make my coffee to get my through my chores first.
I’m grateful I’m up at 5:30 again without an alarm. I’m grateful I didn’t have to wake up my resentment. I was going to walk the dogs alone if I had too. I’m grateful I felt my resentment walk into the living room this morning. I’m grateful I will get a break from my resentment as I got to take Minnie back to Flagstaff today for her blood work and ultrasound tomorrow. #fuckresentment
I’m grateful to start my morning with y’all when I can.

Good morning ya’ll
I am greatful i awoke before my alarm. I am greatful for my new coffee mugs and the delicious coffee i am enjoying this morning. I am greatful i get to flex my mental with a job assessment here in 45min…im nervous. Im greatful my hubby had a fruitful day working yesterday. Im greatful for Boscoe and my family. Im greatful i woke up refreshed and without a hangover. Thank you to everyone who engages on this platform with support and advice. One day at a time.
Today I’m grateful the serenity prayer got me through the day. Grateful my mum had a good day and the mobile care service worked out well. Grateful the headache lifted in the evening and my belly isn’t upset anymore. I can’t bear such stress anymore, it simply is too much. Grateful for the help my mum receives. Grateful for people who care about me too. Grateful for one step after another. Grateful I’m in bed, at least one cat around next to my feet. Grateful for sleeping aid, I need rest, I feel exhausted and drained. Tomorrow is a new day.
Hey y’all
We buried my father-in-law’s ashes yesterday, and it was such a beautiful experience. I’m grateful I was present to witness it. I’m grateful for the strong winds that carried a separate, smaller portion of his ashes across their property. It eases my grief to know that some of his essence will feel the sun and drink the rain.
I’m grateful for my kids and their significant others. My father-in-law missed out on a lot when he chose to be estranged from his son and family for years. That’s been the saddest part of all this for me. Seeing my kids come together for a grandmother who tore our family apart, acting as though not a day had passed in hurt and pain, made me grateful to be their mom. I raised some good ones, and they all shined brightly yesterday.
I’ll be grateful when things slow down. The events planned for my FIL’s passing will stretch for over a month. I am grateful for these times to myself, but in all honesty, I’m pretty much drained.
I’m grateful that I’m sticking to my morning and bedtime meditations. I’m grateful I find myself practicing meditation when I’m in a room full of people and all I want to do is run away. Focusing and calming my mind keeps my behind in my chair. I’m grateful to know this will all pass.
The boys are doing really well, Eric. Thank you for thinking of them and keeping us in your prayers.
I hope you’re all well. I’ll be glad when I’m able to catch up with y’all. Much love
I’m grateful for the challenging circumstances that my son is going through with his school friends just now because I’ve had the opportunity to get closer to him and to realise that I have developed skills to overcome adversity over the years and that this has been a chance to practice these skills.
I’m grateful that there are compassionate people who chose to work with adolescents in schools and take on such an important role in their development.
I’m grateful that I can appreciate that the vast majority of people are doing their best, including myself.
I’m grateful that I’m able to recognise when I need time to myself.
I’m grateful for headphones and loud music.
I’m grateful for this community.
I’m grateful for my friends. I went all in and fessed up about my situation and got flooded with nothing but love and support… It turns out that the demon that was telling me that they are all talking about me and how much of an idiot I am was just a construct of anxiety in my mind.
I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful for recovery. I’m grateful for All my family and friends. I’m grateful
I haven’t gambled, thoughts about it keep creeping in though as I am isolating, stuck in a tiny bedroom, for the last four and a half days. I’m grateful it is day 76 without gambling. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful for talking sober and all of your gratitude. I’m grateful for books, daily readings and prayers. I’m grateful I have been meditating a little. I’m grateful for the twelve steps.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you!!
Good evening all,
I’m grateful to have been a part of my brother in law’s proposal to his girlfriend ( now fiancée)! They are a wonderful example of how sobriety can change life. I’m grateful for a home big enough to welcome everyone over to help them celebrate. I’m grateful for the sunshine today, and the buds on many of the flowers. I’m grateful that I worked out even though I didn’t really feel like it. I did feel great afterwards. I’m grateful for the new red nail polish I used on my toes . I’m grateful for my family and for you guys!
Everyone have a wonderful evening
P.S.
Good job staying away from the gambling @I.cant.We.can - hope you are feeling better!
Thanks I am feeling much better. I’m grateful for the budding trees and flowers as well.
