I’m grateful I made it thru today without alcohol, and I believe if I wasn’t part of this community, I may have drank. I’m grateful for my job and the people I work with. I’m grateful I have food to eat and a place to sleep. I’m grateful I have faith in God and he is helping me on this journey and directed me here. I’m not perfect, I may drink again, but I won’t drink tonight and hopefully not tomorrow and I’m grateful for that. Hugs to all, God Bless and Goodnight

I’m grateful I had the courage to go to a new, what turned out to be, a wonderful, Al-Anon meeting tonight.
I’m grateful I had the courage to chair the meeting.
I’m grateful I got to pick the topic “Courage.”
I’m grateful I’m not alone.
I’m grateful for AlAnon. I’ll keep going back because I’m worth it.

That is so wonderful to read!! You definitely deserve all this that you’ve dreamed about. And it is happening!! All your work is paying off. I’m so excited for you. And I’m so grateful you shared it with us. Selfishly I need to read more things like this and Callie and Jason. It gives me hope for better things to come.
Good for you Faugxh. I’m proud of you

This is so awesome!
Every step along the way as the goals I have been working for start to manifest. I have felt overwhelmed at times with feelings of doubt. Fears. Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve it.
I keep moving forward and every single time my anxieties are just worries I’ve created in my head.
Your going to shine! Congrats!

Morning,
Today I’m grateful that 6 months ago I signed up to do a 26mile charity walk for the Alzheimer’s Society inthe Lake District, UK. It is this Saturday. I’ve been training and am so grateful to have been able to spend time walking with both my daughters, who are doing the walk too. I’m grateful to have been to lots of new places and walked around villages and estates that I’d never usually go. I’m grateful to have got much fitter and feel confident now with the distance, I wasn’t 6 months ago! I’m grateful to help out the charity, its the most horrible disease. My dad has been affected for over 10 years and I can still cry about it.
I’m grateful that it has given me something to focus on and put my energy into.
I’m grateful it’s got me up walking early each morning and exercising.
I’m grateful that I’ve been eating healthily and have lost weight and toned up.
And I’m grateful for not drinking yesterday or wanting to

I’m grateful for 30 days today! This “ain’t my first rodeo” as they say but this time I’m actually celebrating everything and being stoked for myself! So I guess that makes me grateful for ME too
I hope everyone has a wonderful day, or just a day. That’s valid too.

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful God continues to put the right people in the right place at the right time for me. I’m grateful God gave me the courage to seek out a new AlAnon meeting here in town. I’m grateful the church wouldn’t let the AlAnon group inside, yet. And we met underneath this huge ponderosa pine by the church parking lot in nature with birds chirping, pine needles everywhere, loud motorcycles going down the street and an occasional helicopter as the little group of 5 welcomed me with open arms. Ya I cried. With relief. I’m grateful since I had the courage to seek out this meeting, and when they asked me if I wanted to chair? I thought to myself (I didn’t say it) WTF? 
God brought me this far, He’s not going to let go of me now. I’m grateful I was right where I needed to be last evening.
I’m grateful I’m on my deck outside this morning very early. Listening to the noisy ravens and my little plug in waterfall in the cold mountain air. I’m grateful Benson finally came out to join me. I’m grateful I don’t do this often because I’d rather be inside with my pets in the morning. But just for today. This feels right.
I’m grateful for all the love and encouragement I get here at TS. I’m grateful for all the love and encouragement I see us all give each other. And I appreciate each and every one of you. And I know I am loved. And it’s a wonderful feeling. But……it is very hard when you feel you can’t get that love from the one person in the world that means so much to you. “Yet.” That one person you’ve spent your whole life with. “Yet.” It almost makes it harder. No. It does make it harder. For me anyway. I’m grateful that “yet,” is my glimmer of hope. I’m grateful I’m going to let Hope, into my life. Even if just a little bit. I’m grateful maybe it’s time. Fuck. Nothing else seems to be working. What have I got to loose?
I’m grateful I don’t know what today is going to bring. But if it’s saddness or happiness or depression or joy or maybe just indifference, if that’s a feeling, I can feel it. I can feel it good. And I’m grateful I won’t be numbing myself if it’s uncomfortable feelings. Because I’m grateful I don’t do that anymore.
I’m grateful for the strength of my sobriety. I’m grateful for Al-Anon and I’m going to keep going back because it works if I work it and I’m worth it.
I’m grateful we are all worth it. Whatever program we are working no matter how we are working it.
When You don’t move the mountains
I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You
Lauren Daigle
Trust In You

Good morning gratidudes 
I’m grateful I’m finding time for gratitude. I’m grateful my journaling has fallen to the side for a bit but I’ve given myself grace to not have to do everything perfectly. I’m grateful I’m seeing my growth more right now. I’ve been triggered by family and loved ones. Almost immediately my first instinct is to fall back into old habits. Hide. Repress. Don’t feel. Escape. Detach. Obsess. Protect. I feel my heartbeat going faster. Then I stop. I breathe. I concentrate on being here with me and I start to allow. I face. I open. I embrace. I feel. I cry. I connect. I soften. I let go, and then I see where it’s all coming from. Those old patterns melt away just as quickly as they arose. I tell myself that I don’t need them anymore. That I will keep me safe. That I am okay. Slowly but surely I start to heal. Life and healing is not linear. I’m grateful I am conscious of my old patterns, my trauma. I’m grateful I know they will continue to arise when I feel triggered. I’m grateful I know how to slow down and listen. To be forgiving of myself and others. I’m grateful I’m learning to show myself the grace I so freely give. I’m grateful for Eric’s @Dazercat gratitude on ‘yet’ and his glimmer of hope. I applied it to me and self love, while I feel it some days and others I feel myself searching and reverting I know it will come more consistently. More confidently. I’m grateful for love. I’m grateful for strength. I’m grateful my best friend gets to see his mom and sister today. I’m grateful @Faugxh got into her creative writing program. I’m grateful for everyone’s shares and growth. It reminds me that people do change. That I can. That we all can. And I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful for my 268 days of sobriety so far. It has changed my life forever. I am grateful for that today
