I am grateful that my mother is back in town and doing well.
I am grateful my Bert-cat is starting to respond to all of his medications despite still being sick:(
I am grateful for my old Bulldog as she snores away.
I am grateful to see the tulips and the many, many flowers start to come up all over the gardens around the house. I am grateful for the kind, elderly past owner of this house who lovingly and patiently planted this immense spread for all passersby to enjoy.
I am grateful to pull through some intense cravings lately when my stress level was through the roof. I am grateful for all the coping strategies, distraction tools and support that I have to help me through.
I really appreciate you posting this. Gratitude is the life of recovery, so true. Appreciation for what you have and not what you dont have is everything. I know every day i look at my wife and our little babies and i always say, “When our boys were babies”. I try to see things through future me’s eyes and try to appreciate just how special it is to have a 1 year old and a 3 year old together with us. Maybe the most special time in my life, and yes while i’m 173 days sober, i never want to go to a life again where i’m focused on selfish vices. That behavior lacks appreciation/gratitude for all my MEGA Blessings i’m surrounded by every single day.
I’m grateful I’m on day 13, probably haven’t gone this long since I was pregnant with my adult son. I’m grateful that when I tried for the hundredth time to cut down or quit, I stumbled across this app, I actually downloaded 3, this was the 1st I looked at. I’ve since deleted the other 2. I’m grateful for every new day sober. I’m grateful for all of you and your support that got me to this day.
Good morning G-dudes,
I’m grateful for a job that pays the bills. I’m grateful for coworkers that make me laugh. I’m grateful I’m working closer to home today. I’m grateful to recognize that I probably need to visit Brian’s H.A.L.T thread later today. I’m grateful for sunshine, and that it’s not windy today (so far) so I have a chance at getting my allergies under control! I’m grateful to see @TMAC reaching out, I tagged you in the gratitude thread because even if I don’t post, just reading through it really helps to lift my mood.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Grateful for a friend who by himself decided to water my outside plants. They probably won’t make it, but I love the fact that he just did that without even having to ask.
Grateful for a text from a female friend from NA.
She’s the one that made me realise there’s a difference between romantic love and just friendly affection. We’ve been texting sometimes and been to church together twice. The second time, was the day before I had to back on board and after church we talked a bit about how we liked the people and the atmosphere, but also about our concern how they would relate to the non-hetero’s. So I just asked one of the pastors and as expected, the answer wasn’t exactly to our satisfaction.
So a few days later she texted me and asked how I felt about it. I replied, and a few days later she texted me back that she intended to reply but it was quiet a long story, so she suggested it would be easier by phone. Which is not always easy on board, because finding a spot within phone reach ánd with some privacy is close to impossible. But since we will be in port tomorrow, I told her maybe tomorrow evening we could call.
And she reacted immediately and enthousiastic. I really don’t understand. I know it’s my own low self esteem, but it still seems surreal to me that someone would actually be happy to have a phone call with me.
I am grateful for the both, but it also frightens me. I’ve never had friends like that and it makes me afraid to loose them again. Which is maybe a normal feeling…
I am grateful I can accept this.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that somehow I googled for excercises to unblock my sacroiliac joint. And it fucking worked. I have no pain anymore in 2 mins. Over a year, no longer. Holy cow.
I am grateful I made it out of the jungle. Forest, shadow, humidity, warmth and sweat is a very bad combination. For insects it was a feast. Again, I got lost and was too stubborn to turn around. I regretted it lots!
I’m grateful I’m here doing my gratitude now.
I’m grateful I got Minnie off to the vet for her ultrasound and blood work. I’m grateful after her morning meds she didn’t just wait in the kitchen for me to feed her. No food for the patient this morning I’m grateful I thought to take her mind off it by taking her for a short walk before I dumped her off at the vet all day.
I’m grateful I have 4 cats 2 dogs and a wife. It’s kind of lonely up here by myself.
I’m grateful I’m not in pain. Except my little headache. Probably from the cheesesteak last night
I’m grateful I’ll have plenty of time to putter around here, clean, do some computer printer work and hopefully get some exercise or at least a walk in.
I’m grateful I’m getting a break from my wife’s drinking.
I’m grateful when I am all alone I don’t want to drink. I’m grateful about the sense of loyalty I feel to stay sober for this group. I’m grateful I read that today. I know I’d be letting myself down if I drank. But I agree with my reading today there is a loyalty to this group as well that is also one of the many factors that keep me sober.
I’m grateful my other 2 readings were about peace and calm.
I’m grateful there’s a million things to do on the new house and I only have 1 thing scheduled for this week. I usually schedule multiple workers, installers, and repair people during the week and even on the same day. I’m grateful I’ll get to all the shit, when I get to all the shit.
I’m grateful to share my shit with y’all.
I’m grateful for this group of sober warriors. Especially you! Ya you!
Whether it’s your family, your career, or even your cup of coffee in the morning, there are so many things to be grateful for. You just need to put more of your attention on them.
I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful for recovery, including mine. I’m grateful for ALL my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the all the birthday wishes today from family, friends, co-workers and TS. I’m grateful for a quiet birthday, who am I, Lol used to have some crazy birthday weeks over the years, good and bad. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful I can take a covid test in the a.m. to see about going back to work. I’m grateful for sports and that lots of my family still watch and participate in different sports it helps to unite us, even when it divides, if you know, then you know. I’m grateful for music and entertainment. I’m grateful for spring weather.
God bless you all. &
I’m grateful for my 2 weeks.
I’m grateful for being able to compete in soccer and basketball again.
I’m grateful for my son and wife and their support.
I’m grateful for the understanding of others that I’m not going to have a beer with them.
I’m grateful to be going golfing in the morning with a good friend who just got his 200 days.
I’m grateful to be able to open up to you all on here and to share this process of recovery with you all!
Have a rad day everyone, it’s only getting better!
Today I’m grateful to catch up with this thread. @anon74766472 Would you send me the link to this 2 minute painfree wonder? I always struggle with this joint and would love to try it!
I’m grateful for one minute at a time. I’m so exhausted and drained and feel overwhelmed by work. Focussing on one step after another helps. Pauses help. Grateful I don’t become desperate, well, I try not to. Grateful I’m honest with myself: my fitness is crap, I have my limitations and I have to deal with that. Basta. Pity-party is not helpful, grateful I realize my tendency to pity-party and actively turn my back on this useless behaviuor.
Grateful all the work on the house slightly is falling into place, appointment and starting dates are set.
I’m grateful to be back home safe with Minnie back in the desert. I’m grateful I can stay here for awhile now.
I’m grateful Minnie had a very unremarkable ultrasound yesterday and we’ll just wait for blood work again. And grateful her Cushing’s diseases can be treated with meds. Just have to be patient and get the right dosage.
I’m grateful for chats with friends.
I’m grateful for all the desert flora.
I’m grateful I now have a big full wall of mature Jasmin and the sweet smell hits me right in the schnoz sometimes, when I walk out the back door. I’m grateful for the red Bougainville on the other side of the house.
I’m grateful for the bunnies and gamble quail I see out back each morning. And the saguaro
I’m grateful the Ol Burner is on my lap and he taught us last night, the hard way, that we better let him out ASAP after we get home from dinner. BENSON It was almost a week.

I’m grateful I blame myself and not the Ol Burner.
I’m grateful for the beautiful flowers that my son sent my wife for Mother’s Day. They look perfect where my wife put them.
I’m grateful my wife unpacked all the remaining kitchen boxes. I’m grateful she didn’t put any of it away though. She knows me well.
I’m grateful to be sober.
I’m grateful I’m not in pain today.
I’m grateful for trash and recycling pick up.
I’m grateful for Goodwill donation centers.
I’m grateful for Gratidudes
I’m grateful at this rate I’ll never have a fucking hangover ever again. ODAAT
There is a Calmness, to a life lived in Gratitude,
A quiet joy.

I am so stinking greatful. My job offer came with a lower than expected salary, i countered, and they agreed! Plus today we found a decent car for the hubby, since he crashed his last car a month ago. Im greatful i can still say i believe everything happens for a reason. Im greatful for 10days sober and even with this good news i dont wanna get wasted. I want to bask in this happiness and excitement sober. Im greatful for my support network and everyone who contributes to this forum. Im reading everything. Im greatful that i didnt give up and feel like things are coming together. Amen.
Good evening all,
I’m grateful for an easy day at work. I’m grateful I got home early, and was able to workout, straighten up, and do some laundry. I’m grateful that doing these things will make the rest of the week easier for me( even though I didn’t want to do them)! I’m grateful that I am sober and so was able to reason through some feelings I have had around my husband and his changing employment the last 2 months or so. No need to drink the feelings away. I’m grateful that I have some cookie dough ice cream for after dinner. I’m grateful for sunshine and flowers.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I’m grateful I thought to take her mind off it by taking her for a short walk before I dumped her off at the vet all day.
with y’all.

I always struggle with this joint and would love to try it!
