I’m grateful to see Boscoe’s face first thing this morning, I wish that avatar was bigger.
Good morning to my super Twinnie
I’m grateful for 901 days sober.
I’m grateful for 900 days of gratitude.
I’m grateful for all the love here.
I’m grateful for an early night and a great nights sleep.
I’m grateful for my coffee and now my green tea.
I’m grateful yesterday my wife used her tracker on her app. I’m grateful I showed interest in it and finally a little compassion. I’m grateful I’m keeping my real thoughts to myself and trying to show her support.
I’m grateful there’s a meeting for me at a church tonight. I hope? It’s hard finding Al-Anon meetings in small towns.
Good morning Brian. You and Stella look cute together there watching me. Stop it!
I’m grateful for my Pilates workouts and trainer.
I’m grateful I listened to my body Sunday and did the 3 1/2 mile trail. And I was not in pain. I’m grateful I stretched after it. I’m grateful I was not in pain the day after or today. I’m grateful maybe I’ll get to do it again. I’m grateful I’m not rushing to do it again. I prefer to not be in pain over exercising and over doing it.
I’m grateful I’ve done my French Duolingo 4 days in a row. Maybe I don’t need a counter. I’m grateful I’m looking at Duolingo like my gratitude work. Don’t think just do it everyday. See what happens.
I’m grateful Minnie came over 2 separate times for pets and lovin. She probably forgot she already did that. 🥲
What are you 2 doin? I’m getting jealous over here and very distracted
I’m grateful for another day and see what’s in store.
And now there’s Boscoe again. I feel like I’m missing a party.
I’m grateful for you all.
The most powerful weapon against your daily battles is finding the COURAGE to be GRATEFUL anyway
I’m incredibly grateful for my recovery that taught me how to deal with issues, how to communicate with others and how to show compassion for other people.
One of our puppies was ill and my 12 year old granddaughter took on the task of caring for it. Awhile ago she knocked on my door and looked devastated. The puppy had passed. She asked me what she should do.
I immediately turned off my tv and hugged her. I told her that we will put the puppy next to Molly (who crossed the rainbow bridge six months ago) and that Molly would make sure he was ok. I went out and dug a hole after giving her a box for Fluffy. Then she and I went around the yard collecting flowers. We had a nice farewell ceremony introducing the two dogs, thanking Fluffy for sharing his brief life with us and saying farewell. Long exchanged hugs and some tears shed.
I’m grateful that today I knew what that child needed and was able to provide it calmly and with love. I’m grateful she is better now. I’m grateful that I am the person today that she was comfortable coming to in her grief.
I’m grateful that I can come here on this forum and gently release the tears.
That sounds so exciting, a table at the Gem and Rock show!! Do you design jewelry, have crystals or what will you feature? That sounds like a show I would go to. I wish you the best, my guess, you will do fantastic!
I swear we are the same people sometimes.
Wasn’t it exhausting living like that? I seriously don’t know how I did it. I use to do EVERYTHING and then do EVERYTHING for EVERYONE else. Because no way was anything going to get between me and my booze. I’ll show em!
Thank you for the congrats on the check in thread. You give me a little great reminder of myself every day you do gratidude. Thank you for that.
Yes, exactly. Totally exhausting! So glad things are different now.
I love writing my gratitude list. I go on my early morning brisk walk (power walk for you!) (no Gangsta rap tho) and think about it. Sometimes things come up, sometimes they don’t. Mostly they do
First a question as I am new to this app. What does TS stand for? Thank you in advance for the answer
Today was a day I had to be on guard with my snappy mouth and I am grateful for my family understanding when I said I just needed a few minutes in time out so I didn’t snap at them for something that had nothing to do with them.
I am grateful for so much more but today that is the most important. I am learning to ask for what I need instead of lashing out about something ridiculous and then having to apologize for unnecessary hurt feelings later. Damage avoided
Talking Sober. The forum in the Sober Time app.
I’m grateful I apologized over and over again to my wife the first few weeks. Snappy is putting it mildly.
I’m grateful you’re here Shaunda.
I’m grateful I have an AlAnon meeting to go to in a few minutes. I’m really struggling with my codependency. I’m grateful I’m fine on the sober front. I’m not drinking today. And you know I’m probably not drinking tomorrow. I’m grateful I’m looking forward to it. The meeting. I hope it’s open.
I’m grateful I stopped by to answer Shaunda’s question. Thought I get a gratitude booster.
I’m grateful I’ll be ok.
Ahhhhh ok thank you for the answer. I kept racking my brain trying to figure that one out
And thank you, I have snapped a few times and I hate it. I am doing my best to just put myself in a “time out” when I catch myself. Lol they understand and I love them all the more for it.
I’m glad you and everyone else is here also and that I stumbled across this app.
Me again. Boy do I have reason to be grateful tonight. I’m coming off a shift at the bar where I’ve worked for almost five years, a work I’m good at, that is physically hard, that has never failed to secure my livelihood during my worst, when imagining doing any other work was so far out of reach. I’m grateful for my dependable work. Yet I feel stuck there often as I’ve struggled for many years to get a foot down in other aspects of my life that would eventually lead me to more meaningful and fulfilling employment. What holds me back is a fucked up set of deep emotional knots I work through in therapy week for week, year for year. Crises still happen often. I have shared recently here that thanks to recovery and therapy and all the harrrd worrrk on myself I’ve peeked out of my shell and applied for a degree in the only thing that’s ever been my thing. from the time I learnt to read, from the time when as a young babe I started to get the rush of reading and of creating, the fantastical feeling of irresistible uplifting flight yet security and order I get from books and from writing. You guys, I’ve made it into the program and I’ll be studying creative writing at the only place in my country where you can do that. This is something I have never not wanted yet that I could never imagine I could actually do until this year. This year! It’ll be so hard to go through with it and show up for myself every day, I can’t imagine it yet. I still keep going back in my mind and testing my memory, is it actually true, is it not some mistake they made. I also still have another big challenge ahead of me before I will start there, which is to finish my first degree in philosophy. I had to interrupt that when my mind just fucking went in the depths of my mental illness years ago. Knowing I’ll be going somewhere new after this will allow me to work my ass of to bring this painful chapter of my life to a close fucking finally, I hope. I can feel that it might be. This is the second dream come true. This hopefulness. I’m unstuck. Am I though? Can it really be? I’m almost disbelieving of my blessing the now.
I feel I don’t even really dare to be grateful yet. It feels unseeming and boastful to share this here but I’m making myself as I know this toxic humility I have needs to go. And I hope you guys will be grateful for me too. I know others have achieved their dreams here, their miracles. Thinking of Jason and his art and his boat.
Humbly blessed and courageous feeling. Not shrinking away from life anymore, every day a wee bit less.
What a wonderful gift you’re giving to yourself! I am so happy for you and the forward motion you’re willing to take at this point in your life. I’m sure it could feel like a risk, but these dreams we have our entire lives are worth it! Congratulations to you!!!
Woo hoo! I’m so f**king happy for you @Faugxh!!
You’ve worked hard on yourself and deserve every good thing coming your way. I can’t wait to hear more about these dreams of yours coming true.
Congratulations on your acceptance!!
I was confused for a couple weeks too! I didn’t understand the TS when the app was called Sober Time! Also couldn’t figure out why everyone was always saying As Fuck (AF) but they were actually saying AF- Alcohol Free
they understand and I love them all the more for it.
