For my life and the chance to be the person I know is inside me, years of denial and binging have cost so much.

Not weird at all! 
In early sobriety I stuffed myself with all the knowledge I could, especially with books about how our brains work… I still do this! Reading helps me understand addiction, how to deal with anxiety and depression, how to choose certain thoughts to dwell on while letting others go, and so much more. I meditate daily as well. If you’re new to meditation, try the Insight Timer app. Meditation opens our hearts and minds to that deep inner knowing we all have but rarely touch. I’m so happy for you! Congratulations on 10 days sober!

G’morning y’all 
I’m grateful to be here, breathing and healing. I’m grateful for imagination and all the places it takes me, the sounds I hear, and the feelings I have, all while inside my mind. I’m grateful for my brain, too. @Mindymoo 
I’m grateful we’re having our 4th of July get-together on Sunday. I’m not stressing about it, I’m actually excited to be around everyone. This year, every single person (except one) will be sober. I’m so thankful for that. My youngest son is doing so well, my oldest daughter has close to 2 years, two friends have been sober for 6 and almost 2 years, and I’m 323 days sober. It’s gonna be a different kind of fun that we’ll all remember the next day! 
I wish you all a safe and beautiful weekend. Much love

I am grateful for a good talk with someone from work. It was drinking related and it felt good to share some thoughts about it.
I am grateful I can share my thoughts about it as I am now sober.
I am grateful for a good night’s sleep.
I am happy for next week of vacation.
I am grateful a huge amount of stress fell from my chest. I was not exhausted and overwhelmed and irritated at work. I was concentrated.

I’m grateful to know my happiness doesn’t have to revolve around whether or not my loved one is drinking or not drinking. I’m grateful to know it’s easier said than done. I’m grateful to know I will always have to work on that. I’m grateful for Al-Anon meetings and Al-Anon literature. And Al-Anon principled podcasts.
I’m stealing this from my opening reading today:
I’m grateful for the person I’m becoming.
I’m grateful how far I’ve come.
I’m grateful for what I already have.
I’m grateful for Instacart, especially on pre Holiday long weekends. I’m grateful we will both hunker in this long weekend after some minor errands out and lunch out today. And we will spend it peacefully on our beautiful deck just the 8 of us 
I’m grateful to fall asleep with the windows open again last night with the sound of rain and thunder and the smell of rain.
I’m grateful today could have been an easy morning to relapse on my AlAnonism but I think I’m ok. I’m grateful I did some little nice things before bed last night instead of thinking “fuuuuck her. 
” Ooooh. I’m grateful I replaced resentment with little acts of kindness. I’m grateful I didn’t even realize I was doing that last night.
I’m grateful I’ve gotten to step 4 
. A fearless moral inventory. . I’m grateful I’m going to work this to the best of my ability. I’m grateful I recognize I’ve been afraid of this step. I’m grateful for the Internet and I can find plenty of guidance for this step. And I might know a few people that have worked this step if I want to ask them questions.
I’m grateful for Gratidudes
"Resentment and gratitude cannot coexist, since resentment blocks the perception and experience of life as a gift. My resentment tells me that I don’t receive what I deserve. It always manifests itself in envy."

I thought I was on the daily check in thread and couldn’t see you on here so I panicked and thought oh no where are you 
so glad when I realised you had been checking in I had actually missed your posts by being on the wrong thread.
So proud of you how far you have come, I actually even if I’m busy think of you and come to check your okay along with others here.
So I’m so glad I was on the wrong thread !!

double digits yay!! well done @Mindymoo
I’m grateful to God please help me be my best clean and sober self while following your guidance, just for today. I’m grateful for recovery, including mine. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful its Canada Day and that I’m Canadian. I’m grateful I get to spend it at the beach getting to hang out with my buddy and maybe even tide a sea doo, God is great. I’m grateful for tolerance and patience and releasing expectations, its so hard and so simple all at the same time. I’m grateful for tears of joy, anger and sadness lately as I have been very emotional latley and trying to be ok with it, easier said than done. I’m grateful for @M-be-free49 and her words of wisdom and support she shares with me here and other ways, pets for the dog girl, high fives and hugs for you.
God bless you all. 
&
p.s. You matter so very much, be kind to you and enjoy the moments. Ya you!!

Do I ever understand busy! 
Meditation didn’t work for me in the beginning either, but I kept at it. Now, it brings me peace… but only if I’m completely alone with no interruptions. 
Always do what feels right for you. I’m glad you’re here.

I’m so grateful for starting this journey. I’m grateful to be where I am. I’m grateful for finding this app out of all the sober apps I’m so glad I chose this one.
I’m grateful for another ‘first’. Last night I went to a concert, not my first concert but my first one not drinking. (If you don’t count the Chuck Berry concert where I was so mad that I had to drive that it spoilt the concert for me - I’m talking 28 years ago so I’m over it now)
It was actually very freeing not to be drinking. I would have been stressing about my next drink before I had started on my first. I’d be worrying that they weren’t coming fast enough. Not even paying attention to the band, spending all night in the queue for the bar or the loo. I had the best night with my 2 oldest friends.
One of my friends asked if I’d ever drink again and I was so mad at myself when I said ‘probably’. No idea why I said that, it’s certainly not how I’m thinking. I jibbed out of the conversation I think, I guess that was the easiest answer without answering any more questions.

I’m grateful to feel at peace with myself today.
I’m grateful to be clean and sober.
I’m grateful to not be triggered by the big drinking holiday coming up. It’s just another day. I drank everyday. Holidays just gave me an excuse to drink more than usual. After a few beers 99 percent of the time I would drink more than I planned on drinking anyways.
I get to celebrate freedom from the bondage of booze. I will remember everything, and I will be productive. I am grateful!
Reflecting back on my first 4th of July after I relapsed. I was smashed for the morning parade. I made a giant ass out of myself. it was the first time I had blacked out and heard about all the stupid things I had done the next day. All the rules I had made in regards to me drinking like a gentleman had been shattered. A normal person would have never drank again.
I drank unsuccessfully for eight more years. I’m so grateful I won’t be doing that again!
