I am grateful for my life. I am grateful Iā€™m living it now. Iā€™m grateful for my emotions. I am grateful for my best friend. I am grateful that I trust and love myself. Iā€™m grateful for the beautiful sunset tonight. Iā€™m grateful for relaxing days in the pool. Iā€™m grateful I made a list tonight of everything Iā€™ve accomplished since Iā€™ve been sober ( it made me really proud) and another of all my hopes, dreams, and other things I want to work towards. Im grateful for @I.cant.We.can 900 days. Iā€™m grateful I get to learn from all of you. Iā€™m grateful I got to cook today. Itā€™s always so therapeutic for me. Iā€™m grateful for a cozy night in watching a new show ( The bear on Hulu) @Dazercat I think you might like it too. Iā€™m grateful I can scroll through and catch up on this thread. Iā€™m grateful it fills me up. Love you gratidudesšŸ’›

Iā€™m grateful this day is drawing to a close. Lots of turbulence, the unpredictable kind. Tough to sit with the emotions the day raised. Good stuff today too thoughā€¦

Always grateful to enjoy the dog girlā€™s company, for the good walks we had.

I need to double-down on the recovery supports right now. Iā€™m beyond grateful I had a therapy session booked this afternoon. Perfectly timed.

Grateful that I can enjoy the quiet. I signed on to an online meeting tonight, just got started when - maybe related to a passing thunderstorm? - the power went out and my wifi went down for a good chunk of time. Was trying to sign back on on my phone, when I realized how quiet it was. You know, when the power goes out and everything seems so still? I went outside instead, sat down where itā€™s sheltered on my patio, and just took all the deep breaths I didnā€™t take today. Grateful to be sober to be able to find these moments.

Grateful to be tucking in soon - while itā€™s still light - with my book, word games, and a snoring dog.

Grateful for all of you Gratidudes! And super grateful to see @I.cant.We.canā€™s 900 days! You keep re-defining awesome - ya you!

Iā€™m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

I feel anxious but Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m sober. Iā€™m grateful for my home and being employed. Iā€™m grateful Max already went out tonight because thereā€™s a thunderstorm overhead. Iā€™m grateful for my faith in God. I know I have more to be grateful for but Iā€™m drawing a blank. Goodnight all. :blue_heart::sunflower:

I am grateful my days with my mother went so well. We spend almost the whole time together and it was good. We even skipped the usual argument after 15 min after my arrival usual followed by me saying that I can also go back home directly.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful Iā€™ll get my connection train.
I am happy I made a reservation for a seat.
I am grateful Iā€™ll have still some days off before work.

I am grateful that probably my kitchen will fit relatively well into my new apartment. Iā€™ll check it when I get home but in my head it could fit. Letā€™s be optimistic. :crazy_face: Mixed with realism.

I am grateful I can find gratitude.
I am grateful I donā€™t have to worry about commuting, not worrying about the cats atm. They will be fine I hope.

Iā€™m grateful for early morning walks, on my own. Time to just think, not think and just be. Time to breathe, to be present and to be me.
Iā€™m grateful I didnā€™t drink yesterday or want to.

I am grateful that my Will is still here even though it doesnā€™t feel like it is.

Good morning all,
Iā€™m back to work today after a wonderful vacation. Iā€™m grateful for a job that allows us to do that. Iā€™m grateful for coffee, and recovery podcasts on the drive to work. Iā€™m grateful I watched Bill W. yesterday, it was really interesting and touching. Iā€™m grateful for food in our fridge, water to drink and wash with, and our home.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

Iā€™m grateful to God please help guide me to be my best clean and sober self while performing your will, just for today. Iā€™m grateful for my recovery and yours. Iā€™m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iā€™m grateful for righteous anger turned into understanding and forgiveness with time and energy. Iā€™m grateful for all the support and shoutouts from @Cjp @Callie99 @Dazercat @JasonFisher @M-be-free49 @Mno @Mindymoo @Its_me_Stella @Sunflower1 @Shaunda and more that I may have missed you all matter, very much. Iā€™m grateful I am off to work later today, I think it will be slow and the water cold as there is little to no sun, it rained yesterday too, life on lifes terms brian, take a towel and sweater. Iā€™m grateful my sister called and asked me to go for a walk this morning, I declined but it was a nice offer better suited for a day off though for me, my work involves enough walking. Iā€™m grateful for the twelve steps. Iā€™m grateful my friend came back into the rooms last night, it was emotional but in the best way. Iā€™m grateful a few others got there six months and I kept my 900 days to myself as you wonderful souls already helped me celebrate more than enough times. Iā€™m grateful for music and its ability to inspire, motivate and move me, i just wanna dance Lol. Iā€™m grateful for humor and creativity. Iā€™m grateful for the dogs around the apartment complex I live in that I get to play with, Stella and Baron, Iā€™m grateful for pics of your Scouts and Scruggs and more too.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. Donā€™t give up before the miracle, you are worth it. Ya you!!

Good morning wonderful humans :heart:

So much to be grateful forā€¦ I will do my best to keep it short.

I am grateful for my desire to change. That means Iā€™m still yearning to grow.

I am grateful for my quiet morning, 2 days a week I miss them as my husband is home and I notice I now get cranky when I dont have my reflection and meditation time in the mornings. Something for me to work on. :wink:

I am grateful for our old cranky chihuahua, I know she loves me even though she shoots me the RBF all the time. Lol

I am eternally grateful for a family that accepts me and all the changes I am going through to better myself, to be a better wife, mother, friend, human.

I am grateful I get to meet with my sponsor this morning and absorb her experience and strength.

I am grateful for all of you! You brighten my day reading through your gratitude! Thank you all.

This was the short version by the way :rofl:
Have a wonderful day.
