I am grateful I don’t drink. I am sober. And that’s all that counts for today. I had to make a decision which had a tremendous impact on my life and feelings. In the past I would have drank and I drank. Today this doesn’t even cross my mind.
I had a coffee with my best friend and I am doing okay at the moment.
I am grateful I can write about my feelings here. I don’t have to be ashamed of my feelings because besides sadness there is also relief.
I am grateful I have the next week off. I will go home and I am grateful I have no plans yet. Only my mom, my grandmother and me and my hometown and time to do nothing.
Grateful to have this day
Grateful my children are having a nice summer regardless of mom and dad working
Grateful we have job stability to be able to provide experiences for our children
Grateful for this clear mind I now have
Grateful to not wake up and smell like a drunk
Grateful I’ve come this far
Grateful for the inner peace I feel
Congratulations on your 60 days Cjp

We. Will. Slay. Another. 24.

Oh. My. God. Where did you find that GIF??? That is amazing!! Thank you, I think of you and your gratitude posts everyday, they helped and continue to help all the time.
So many of you have been here for me from day one and I’m so grateful for you guys. I wouldn’t still be sober without this community. I wouldn’t have started to change my life. It’s amazing how the right people come into your life at the right time. You just have to be willing and able to see them and allow them to come in.
I’m grateful for my new job and co-workers. I’m grateful how nice everyone is and that I’m so excited. Something I haven’t felt about work in a very long time.
I’m grateful I have a home, food to eat, time to move my body, and my health.
I’m grateful for Rue and her unconditional love.
I’m grateful I make time for me now.
I’m grateful I allow myself to feel all the emotions.
I’m grateful for the kindness of others.
I’m grateful I know how special I am, that I no longer look outside of myself to validate me.
I’m grateful for self reflection and how I am constantly learning and evolving.
I’m grateful that I’ve made so much peace with food and my body.
I’m grateful I feel strong and healthy.
I’m grateful that I’ve been catching sunrises and sunsets. Their unique beauty.
I’m grateful for my mom. Our relationship and dynamic has been changing, for the better. There’s more communication and boundaries. But there is also an understanding that wasn’t there before. I love her and I’m so grateful for her. To see her in a new light has been a gift
I am grateful I can sleep in a little tomorrow if my body needs it.
I’m grateful Ive been in tune with my body and it’s needs. That I’ve been listening.
I am grateful for another day alive
Grateful to see milestones being reached by @Cjp 60 days is incredible, keep moving forward. @PlantLady19 half a year, well done, you grow … Huh… plant pun. Grateful for humor. God is great
Ah, brings back so many memories of waking up with pans on my oven and wondering what I ate, or having Netflix ask if I want to watch the next episode, not having a clue what it’s about. And the all time favorite of checking my phone I didn’t text anyone.
Real memories are a beautiful thing, same as that sunset!
Still catching up on everyones posts of the day but wanted to thank everyone for celebrating my milestone! Tonight at my ladies aa meeting they said outside these rooms we dont get celebrated for not doing our drug of choice so that makes these celebrations that more important. Everyday and every stacked milestone is worth celebrating!! Im proud of myself and all of you for putting in the work everyday! Ya us!
@PlantLady19 congrats on 6 months!! I want your numbers when i grow up
@maxwell thank you for thinking of me. Im proud of you even through the misstep you came back and you are putting in the work despite the chronic pain. I see you!
@Dazercat thanks for celebrating with me! You are a wonderful support here love ya
@I.cant.We.can thank you. I love your positivity and im following your story
@Lovelyoutlook i see you stacking those ODAATs thank you
@Shaunda thanks so much. Keep sharing your story so i can catch up lol
Im so greatful for everyone on this forum in all their sorrows and glory. Everyones contributions here make me feel less alone and a part of the solution…stronger myself to be a part of the sober solution in my life. I gave you all a shout out at my ladies meeting tonight when i got my 60 day chip. I definitely wouldnt have made it this far without this platform @Robin i will keep fighting this fight and keep collecting these chips because i feel myself growing into a greatful recovering alcoholic
This evening I am incredibly grateful I was able to handle a very difficult and embarrassing situation with my 16 year old daughter with more grace than I would have been able to just over a month ago.
Drunk mom and sober mom are completely different people.
I didn’t loose my cool, with any parties involved in the situation but I did speak my mind. Maybe a bit too much of it but I didnt attack anyone and I don’t owe any amends. Lol progress not perfection right. My sweet baby who rarely makes mistakes made a big one and is learning her own lessons in life and im am so completely grateful that sober mom is on duty to guide her through this.
I’m watching MasterChef and Gordon Ramsay screaming at people really stresses me out! I’m grateful my boss is cool.
I’m grateful that I’m taking it ODAAT and I’m staying positive. I’m grateful today was better than yesterday. I’m always grateful for Max and Riley being by my side. I’m grateful for my faith in God.
60 days! Awesome!
It been really cool for me to watch you work through the obstacles we all create for ourselves and grab onto all the tools we have available and use them.
It works! Congrats! You earned those days!
60 days was an amazing milestone for me. I watched an old movie called I am Bill W. It made me cry tears of joy and relief. I realized I had become a part of the miracle that is AA.
I didn’t text anyone.
I’m grateful for my faith in God.
