Good morning

I am so grateful to be sober this morning. Its not about not drinking, its about my mental and spiritual change. I feel so much more grounded and involved in life again.

For that I am truly grateful this morning.

Have a wonderful day friends.

G’morning y’all

I’m grateful for this sunny new day to live and love and be. I’m grateful I immediately stopped the meditation I began this morning, because it didn’t feel right for me. I’ve followed through on others, only to finish with a gnawing feeling in my gut that something just didn’t vibe with me. I’m learning and growing, and I’m grateful for that.

I’m grateful for @Tragicfarinelli. Hi! I’m grateful for Caroline’s 9 months of sobriety! @Callie99 I’m so proud of you for realizing at such a young age that the alcohol had to go. You’re an inspiration.

I’m grateful I’m not the only one who wants a clean kitchen in the mornings. @Dazercat I’m also grateful that it doesn’t ruin my entire day anymore when I get up to dishes in the sink. I’m sure it sounds silly, maybe not to Eric, but that seriously used to happen. It’s interesting how working on our mental health in sobriety helps us deal with the little things… actually it makes the little things not seem so dreadful.

I hope your day is beautiful.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful for another day in Colorado. I’m grateful that my kids are still excited to do things with me- today is the Cheyanne Mountain Zoo, and whatever else we feel like doing. I’m grateful for the sunshine.
Everyone have a wonderful day

I’m grateful for so many things this morning, right from the moment I woke up with that ear worm, Decide To Be Happy. Just made me smile.
Good lord, I just saw a huge Bald Eagle fly by me. It had to have been. Big white neck and head. Huge wingspan. Dang ponderosa pines I just saw him briefly in between the trees.

I’m grateful I was going to write I can’t decide what to write next as my gratitude is constantly changing or developing and then God sends this Bald eagle by. How cool is that?

Maybe I’ll do my gratitude in reverse.
I’m grateful I clicked on the Al-Anon app by accident this morning and I might have figured out how to post on there. I’ve been struggling trying to figure out the technology of the app and I haven’t been able to post on it yet And by accident maybe I found how to post. But I wasn’t ready to post. I hope I can figure it out again when I return.

I’m grateful for modern technology and the credit card fraud department as I got an email and a notification late last night that some assholes were using my card in MI. In think that’s Missouri? And we were able to decline the charges before they posted. I’m grateful I’m actually a little sad that they were trying to use it to pay their cable and power bill.
I’m grateful I was sober late last night and every night to be able to deal with that shit.

I’m grateful the small headache I have this morning is not from drinking. I think it was the steak last night. It was so worth it. It’s basically already subsiding. Maybe the coffee chili rub on the steak made the headache less worse. That’s what I’m going with.

I’m grateful I did get a pedi yesterday.
I’m grateful my wife got her hair done yesterday.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon.

I’m grateful for the Al-Anon work book. I read about someone living in fear all their life. That’s no way to live. And I thought SHIT!! I’ve lived in fear most my life. Whether it be from another alcoholic or addict or even me, being afraid to get “caught.”
I’m grateful I’m also learning most of my decisions in life revolve around another persons happiness. Not mine. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with this package. But I’m grateful I read about it today. Because I do both those things. Been doing it forever.

I’m grateful I didn’t think I’d have much of a list today. Fat chance. I’m grateful my gratitude just comes. And there is always something to be grateful for.
Grateful for you!

I’ve seen this one before but I don’t think I’ve ever posted it because I didn’t get it. I think I’m getting it today.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
Brings peace for today,
And creates a vision for tomorrow.

I am so grateful to be here.

[Dazercat]

Welcome Peter.
You found the best thread in the house.
Without gratitude in sobriety we got nothing.
Pull up a chair. Have some coffee. And a good read.
Gratitude works if you work it and you’re worth it.
I hope to see you around.

I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober while doing your will just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery with its challenges and blessings. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I allowed myself to go back to sleep today. I’m grateful I can slow down and enjoy whatever the day brings. I’m grateful my buddy got his beginers license today after questioning me about doing the same recently. I’m grateful I have a large puppy dog curled up beside me snoring away and that she was super excited to come in and see me after being gone a couple days. I’m grateful that her momma didn’t come in yet as I need to wake up more before I am ready for human interaction. I’m grateful I have a few days to get ready for a long weekend working at the beach. I’m grateful my parents brought me food when they visited yesterday Moms homemade burgers are good. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and the people that practice them.
God bless you all. &

p.s. You are absolutely awesome. Ya You!!

Edit… my friend Michelle’s dog and I being grateful for each other. She is a boxer bulldog mix. Her name is Stella

Good morning

I am grateful to see the ass end of my flare-up and to be outside the yoga studio waiting for class. I am grateful that I am slowly learning my bodys limits, it has taken me 2.5 years of trial and error but I am slowly getting the hang of things now. I am grateful that I never gave up and just started drinking again to escape the daily pain I feel. For some reason a part of me believed I was worth more than that, and I guess my suffering in active addiction had gotten much worse than suffering in physical pain everyday. You know it’s crazy… the cycle I was in. The physical and emotional pain was so bad I was numbing it with booze which caused so much emotional, mental and spiritual anguish I would cause myself physical pain because I figured I deserved it. What a wicked cycle to be stuck on for so many years. I am grateful to be off of that now. I am grateful I survived it. I am grateful for the many people who stood by me through all the brutal shit they saw me do to myself. I am just grateful.

[Jftself]

I’m grateful that my desire to stay clean is greater than wanting to get loaded today. Along with so many things in my life. Especially my reactions being different to certain situations.

[Alicat22]

Today I am grateful for team sports, I am grateful for sunshine, I am grateful for medication… got some cream for my eczema and it seems to be helping.

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful to see this pic of you and Stella and all the smiling face and happiness a dog can bring to you.
I love the name Stella. Reminds me of ……someone………
Have a great day Buddy

[soberpete1]

I have decided to go into service in any way I can to help others. It’s time for me to give back. Only sober fopr lass than a day but I feel helping others will help me.

[Frandango]
