Good evening
Sometimes I have to dig a little for the gratitude only because my mind still races with the coulda, woulda, shouldas. Today was a bit of a struggle and I haven’t been able to make an in person meeting in 2 days and zoom meetings aren’t the same for me personally.
I am grateful for this beautiful sunny day
I am grateful for mty husband finally caving and helping me gett a mess behind our home cleaned up even if it was begrudgingly on his part. Ill take it.
I’m grateful I have a wonderful daughter who will self analyze through her own mistakes and doesn’t hate me for her own mishaps.
I’m grateful for all of you and your encouragement and gratitudes.
Thank you for being here. 
Have a wonderful evening everyone.

-having a chill Friday night at home with my husband and son
-enjoying coffee earlier with my best friend (who just told me our city is getting a sober bar!!)
-weekend plans of swimming, swimming, and more swimming 
-this app and all of you!

I’m grateful for the direction of my higher power and the insight to be positive and optimistic in any situation. I’m thankful for learning self love even if is slowly. I’m truly humbled for the grace given to spare my life from my self destructive choices to run from feeling and dealing. Many blessings to all! ODAT

I’m grateful I didn’t drink today. I’m grateful I’m done with work until Tuesday. I’m grateful for my home and AC. I’m grateful I’m digging out of enormous debt my ex put me in. I’m grateful for the things I have and that I can afford what I need for the most part. I’m grateful for the meditation books I have on my Kindle that I didn’t remember I bought (recovering drunk buyer). I’m grateful for Max and Riley sleeping next to me right now, and the smile on Riley’s face. I’m grateful for all my TS friends and wish everyone has a safe AF weekend. 
*The black spots on Max are actually his skin, it’s comparable to human age spots. Not sure if he was left outside a lot which can contribute to them. They are more visible after haircuts.

I’m so grateful for this thread! Catching up on it warms my heart at the end of the day.
I’m grateful for the day I had. It’s a stat holiday - Canada Day - and I’d planned to get outside with the dog girl, knowing my soul needed a day in nature. I’m grateful I knew this was not the year to hit up a big fireworks-y thing tonight. I’m grateful my pal offered me her cabin for the night instead.
I’m grateful to be here now - a fire in the woodstove as the northern sun sets. It was an overcast and kind of chilly day, for July, but I was fine with it - more comfortable for the dog girl on our walks. Oh, we sat in the grass above the lake and listened to birds galore! I was and am so grateful for these moments, for being sober and for being able to be present to them.
I’m grateful I crave solitude healthily - both solitude and connection. I’m grateful to have both. Just like I’m grateful for my phone so I can catch up with you all tonight, but also grateful for the crappy reception here that prevents me from taking calls! There will be time to catch up on calls when I get home.
I’m grateful for all of you. I’m grateful for all of @I.cant.We.can’s shout outs to me! Ya yours! And that @Mindymoo and @ShesGotMoxie can relate to the state of my meditating-monkey-mind! To see @anon74766472 (hello friend!) and to know that @Sunflower1’s fam had such a good vacay. I’m grateful for the dog avatars that make me smile - @Cjp and @maxwell. Just to name a few…
The sky is dark now. Grateful to be going to sleep so contented.
I’m grateful for another day.

Beautifully written Mary Catherine aka Piglet . I feel the same way, I have an adult son, but my Mom has been gone for 17 years, I’m divorced and I don’t really have any close friends anymore in my life. The support we all receive from each other is amazing and I wouldn’t have gotten this far without you all. Even when I fell 1st go around, everyone accepted me back with open arms. 1 day or 1 year, we’re all in this together!!

Happy 4th of July weekend! 
I’m grateful Keely and her boyfriend got here last night. We’re about to go off-roading before the afternoon storms. I’m grateful for my lifted Jeep! It’s taken me all over these mountain roads.
I’m grateful I’m feeling good about people coming over tomorrow. I’ve been slowly making my way out to the patio this past week, and I think I’m gonna be ok out there. If not, y’all will hear about it. 
I’m grateful for kindness and joy and love. I’m grateful for this beautiful place I live.

Good morning.
I have hated this weekend for 6 years now. This July 4th will be the 7th anniversary of my sons death. Every year the past 4 years I’ve been drunk for days leading up to it.
I’m grateful today that I am choosing not to drink in spite of the fact that I would love nothing more than to drown out these feelings of self pity. The oh poor me’s. I recognize it as self pity. Today I am grateful that I will no longer show my daughter that its ok to deal with loss that way.
I’m grateful for another chance to show her its ok to loose people we love and still enjoy times of celebration even if it is an anniversary of their passing. He loved this holiday the most and would hate it if his little sis was not enjoying it. So my gratitude for being sober today is felt deeply.
My gratitude for the memories of the way he lived and the lesson he taught me in his short life are felt deeply. Tonight I will go to sleep with a sober mind and do my best to look forward to the upcoming festivities.
P.s. rocky my tree squirrel was quiet this morning until he missed jumping from one tree to my apple tree and hit my wind chime. Scared the bejeezus outa me. He musta knew I needed a belly laugh

Hi Shaunda, I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine the pain you’ve been through. I wish you and your daughter a blessed holiday and hope you make some new happy memories for everyone, including your son. I believe the people we love that have passed, are still with us. As long as they stay in our hearts and memories, they never go away.

I’m grateful I can do gratitude 24/7.
I’m grateful I posted on the “Are You Affected By A Loved One who Is An Addict thread first, this late morning. I’m grateful I couldn’t find that topic this morning. 
It forced me to post on the Al-Anon App. I’m grateful I got my first post on the Al-Anon app this morning. I can’t figure out how to post on it. But I did it. And I can’t figure out how or remember how I did it. 
I’m grateful I think that shit is funny because that kind of tech stuff happens to me all the time.
I’m grateful I woke up with Lady Gaga this morning ONE OF HER SONGS!! 
in my head.
Million Reasons.
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I’m grateful Mavy caught me sleeping on my side last night at 4 am and made me roll over after gently pawing on my face. And I’m grateful he snuggled in with me after I rolled over on my back.
I grateful for the Ravens cawing this morning. I wouldn’t call it birdsong. With the windows open it was very loud and I’m grateful I saw the cats lined up in the open window above the bed checking them all out. I’m grateful Minnie came up into bed briefly after her early morning Whizzy. I gratefully miss her in our bed now that she has gotten older. I’m grateful she still uses the pet steps that we bought her. To go up anyway.
I’m grateful we already got the dogs walked this morning. I’m grateful for the very overcast gray skies this morning and the cool weather.
I’m grateful I’m doing my part in “Live and Let Live.” I’m grateful I did quite a few “little things,” last night instead of having a resentful attitude about doing someone else’s chores. I’m grateful I feel better doing little nice sometimes extra things instead of consciously not doing those things because I’m mad. I’m grateful it really takes work. But I’m doing it. One little nice thing at a time.

I’m grateful for the healing properties of music.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon.
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful, like Jason, I never needed a holiday to drink. I drank every day and this weekend is no different than today or any other day. Because as you know, I’m grateful:
I’m not drinking today. 
And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
I’m grateful today. Right now. I’m good.
I’m grateful for y’all. My y’all is not a southern accent. Not even close 
I actually never even say it I just love to write it.

I am grateful they carried me through this morning run

As @Dazercat said I am grateful for the healing power of music. Been doing my fair share of listings to lots of music the past weeks. So relaxing.
I am grateful for today and the time I will get to spend with my kids and SO.
Grateful for the festivities ahead.
I will keep it sober today and tomorrow and the days after that
