I’m grateful to be clean and sober.
I’m grateful I don’t have the desire to drink today.
I’m grateful to reconnect to AA.
I’m grateful to have finally met a qualified sponsor for a complicated human like myself.
I’m grateful he is gaining my trust.
I’m grateful I’m letting him.
I’m grateful for the willingness I have found to do things, I didn’t want to do.
I’m grateful I have been doing them.
I’m even more grateful for the results.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for early bedtime and early rise.
I’m grateful for the new cat palace I got set up yesterday. I’m grateful the cats will love it. Hopefully more than we do 
I’m grateful to watch the cats watching the gamble quail out by the pool. AND THE BUNNIES!!
I’m grateful we live near a good Chinese restaurant. It’s been ages.
I’m grateful for my sense of direction and learning my way around a new town. I’m grateful I don’t have to go far for anything. I’m grateful to be in the desert surround by mountains. There’s so many mountains around.
I’m grateful I’m still “easy doing it.”
I’m grateful for the Happy Feet nail salon.
I’m grateful I have happy feet. And hands 
I’m grateful I rewarded myself with a mani pedi after all this moving business instead of rewarding myself with some kind of top shelf martinis or margaritas or popping open some champagne. I’m sure my bar bill would have cost more. And I don’t feel like shit after a mani pedi.
I’m grateful Alice is doing so well as I see her sitting in a ray of sunshine.
I’m grateful for all my blessings and that includes you guys.
In a blink of an eye it could all be taken away
Be grateful always.
Amazing movement. com
That’s a harsh fucking reality 
Grateful for 1008 days being clean and sober.
Yesterday I made that call with the woman I went to church with twice. We both had our reservations to it, after hearing their “not so accepting” point of view on the non-heteros.
And apparently, while I was digging my way out of my own prisons, she dug into this. She had emailed a pastor hundreds of miles away after reading an article in which he stated his church was openminded about it. The guy mailed her back and included a link to a website founded by the rainbow community, mapping all churches they had felt welcome and accepted by.
She told me she didn’t really want to keep going to the church we’ve been before, for it made her feel as if she was betraying a lesbian friend of her. And that she thought about looking into one of those other churches.
So, I’m grateful for people creating a site like that. Grateful for people asking question from strangers 100s of miles away. Grateful for people digging into this, showing me I don’t have to do everything myself.
And grateful for her conclusion that she didn’t want to do this “search for the right church” alone but hoped I would go with her.
Grateful for becoming a better version of myself, even though I still don’t know where exactly I’m heading…
But recovery is more than to stop being who you dón’t want to be, it’s about eventually making a first step into becoming who you dó want to be, or who you have always been deep down inside.
I’m grateful for 9 months of sobriety. I honestly surprised myself by not relapsing. According to many sources, it’s just in the cards for us. I’m grateful for the lack of distractions that can cause a relapse. I’m grateful to be a loner. If I wasn’t, things could have quickly gone to hell for me.
I’m grateful for this morning’s meditation. I’m grateful for davidji on Insight Timer. He’s helped me open my heart and evolve in my thinking.
I’ve been thinking back to when I first joined TS, and to those who made an impact on my sobriety, and I’m so grateful for each of you. @Dazercat @JasonFisher @Its_me_Stella @I.cant.We.can @Alisa @Mno @Apollo_666 You’ve all been here from my beginning, and I’m grateful for all I’ve learned from each of you. You have been lighthouses for me.
I’m grateful for long talks with my daughter. I look up to her and gain so much from her wisdom. I feel fortunate to have the relationship we have.
I’m grateful that I listened to my soul and backed off from TS. Some folks are much stronger than I am, but I honestly believe if I hadn’t maintained a certain range of distance, I would have been in danger of relapse. I tend to overthink, feel too intensely, and not give myself breaks. I’m grateful I get to know myself more and more every day. I’m grateful that I’m learning and growing.
I’m grateful for @anon9289869, @anon74766472, and @Callie99. I read your posts and often feel that I’m reading my own thoughts and feelings. You cause me to have hope, and I’m grateful our journeys have intertwined.
I truly feel love for you all. I recently read somewhere that if someone can hate a stranger without even knowing them, then why can’t I love a stranger without knowing them. I can, and I do. I’m grateful for y’all. 
This is so much stronger. Drawing a line. Putting your sobriety first. That’s what it is and what matters!
Congratulations on your 9 months off inner freedom! 
I am overflowing with gratitude today but one thing in particular that is standing out…
I am grateful to be able to cry.
I am grateful that I don’t need any massive reason for tears to start flowing.
I am grateful that tears often flow at the end of my yoga practice but today I was surprised as I had an overwhelming sensation and tears started to flow as we did “Breath of Joy”.
I am grateful to feel joy inside my body and that tears are attached to this feeling for me.
I am grateful that tears don’t always mean sadness, fear, pain and anger.
I am grateful for Caroyn and her 9 months of sobriety. You say that we have been lighthouses for you but you could never imagine the positive impact you have on my recovery, daily. I am blessed to call you my friend. Thank you for always listening to your heart and taking such good care of yourself and your recovery. Congrats. 
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I am inside waiting for a first storm. Think it’ll pass… Or maybe not. I love storm and thunder when I am at home in bed.
I am grateful for a good meeting today. I grateful I found this group or it found me. A bit too late.
I am happy that I told my coworker that I’ll leave. I wrote my person in HR. I am grateful I am fine going to work.
I am grateful I have some sort of inner balance atm which shows in many aspects of my daily life. Mostly that I can eat less compulsive.
I am grateful I can chat with the girls. Most of the time they ignore me but that’s okay.
NINE MONTHS!!! 
You have helped me too. I’m grateful you are here! I’m grateful to celebrate this milestone! I look forward to celebrating many more!
I’m grateful to God please help guide me to be my best self while doing your will, just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery with all its chalenges and blessings. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for a few more days of isolating, it sucks but I chose to try and be symptom free before I return to cook and serve people food. I’m grateful for the sunshine and birds singing through the window. I’m grateful that its payday and I don’t need to rush and go pick up my cheque, I’ll get it when I go back on Saturday or at least that is the goal right now. I’m grateful I feel much better today, however there is still a little lingering cough and congestion. I’m grateful for music, entertainment, sports and creativity. I’m grateful I can read and write. I’m grateful that they contacted me about the apartment again and asked do I want my name on the buzzer in the lobby, yes… yes I do, first and last name, not hiding from my past, present or future anymore. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for exercise and how much better I feel when I get it, this isolation makes that hard though. I’m grateful I can try to remember to be patient and use the serenity prayer and the many other tools that a balanced recovery plan will teach.
I’m grateful to see @ShesGotMoxie with nine months, keep moving forward. You have been a great support and teacher to me and many, remember to give yourself that love and support too, you are worth it.
God bless you all. 
P.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you!!
I am grateful to be sober and hangover free.
I am grateful to be working with a nice coworker tonight.
I am grateful for the sleep I was able to get.
I am grateful that I had no cravings today.
I am grateful to be here with everyone. 
I am grateful for purrs and cuddles. I get to take care of my friends cat this week, while they are on vacation. It feels nice, to be greeted, coming home. Also makes me miss my cat Juri, who passed a long while ago. He was a senior cat and I had gotten him from an animal shelter, when I was at an all time emotional low a few years back. Looking back I’d say he kept me sane. It’s marvellous how animals help us ground ourselves and come back to the presence, when the mind is wandering too far into the past or the future. Staying sober today.
I’m grateful for a clean and sober rainy day.
I’m grateful for recovery and all of the tools I have easy access to.
I’m grateful for all the milestones that my friends in recovery have had recently. I’m grateful to celebrate them.
At the AA meeting the other day, a friend celebrated 10 years. Its common to pass coins around the room.
When I held his coin it reminded me how close I came to getting it. I would be celebrating 20 years had I not made that decision to try and drink like a gentleman. It bummed me out a little. I was happy for him, but a little sad for me.
As we all shared and celebrated his recovery another member shared about how he felt with his 20 years and how much work he still has to do to keep his serenity.
It’s was interesting. Nobody knew my time frame, or how I felt when I held his coin. The thought came and left.
I’m grateful to get messages this way. it reminded me that being sober today is all we strive for. The ups and downs in recovery are normal. It’s our common bond.
I finished step two with my sponsor today. It was an awesome experience. I’m grateful for the realizations I’ve had. It makes me willing to keep going.
Morning,
I’m grateful that I didn’t drink yesterday, I didn’t want to.
I’m grateful for early morning walks, listening to the birdsong.
Im grateful for all the benefits not drinking brings. I wouldn’t have been able to get fit whilst drinking. I certainly wouldn’t be early morning walking that’s for sure.
I’m grateful for a positive attitude, so grateful, it make a ton of difference to how the day goes.
I’m grateful to be visiting a friend this weekend, last minute decision. I’ve told her I’m not drinking, she didn’t bat an eyelid.
Thanks everyone for being here 
I’m in such an awful fug, unlike me, brattish. I can’t get out of it. Yesterday I just wanted to drink. Am I sulking? I’m so grateful to be sober on holiday, but is the inner me acting out in resentment? Did anyone feel this after a month sober? I feel lost and just in this awful funk. Foggy and ungrateful. That’s why I’m here in this thread, grateful to see how ungrateful I’m being.
Yes I have felt like that off and on throughout my recovery.
As the alcohol cleanses out of our system we are left with raw emotions. Many of which we didn’t allow ourselves to feel.
Learning how to cope and process these emotions with clarity of mind is vital to prevent running back to old habits that quit working for us.
Gratitude is a good way to combat those feelings you’re describing. Glad your here!
Thank you Jason. Glad to know this is normal. I think I expected to burp rainbows lol
I’m grateful to have finally picked up the phone and called my Sponsor yesterday.
I’m grateful for having the presence and heart to listen to other addicts in recovery with a willing and open heart.
I’m grateful to have the opportunity to help another woman , today.
I’m grateful to be celebrating 6months again in two days.
I’m grateful for my bestie and the fact that his vehicle and it’s sound system has become my sanctuary, my safe place. When I need to get away or take a break…I get to take a drive and choose bass therapy. 
I’m grateful for the orange sunrise I observe each morning from my bed.
I’m grateful for the Tom kitty who presses his forehead against my back window each morning to gently remember n me he is hungry.
I’m happy to have also fed a baby skunk this morning who enjoys cat food and isn’t scared off at the sprinklers. (Must be why kitty left and skunk arrived??)
I’m grateful for my HeartMath Training and CCAR training.
I’m grateful to finally be starting Step 1 in the NA literature.
I’m grateful my sponsor and I hold the same questions regarding some of the NA literature and statements made that isn’t held with strong convictiin. (I.e…absence of all mind altering substances. Well that would include RX but …what do I know. )
Please don’t get it twisted… I know people need and gain much with RX . My beef is with NA and it’s literature …not the taking and being prescribed RX. Thank you.
Today , I choose to see life from a forgiven lens. A lens of humility, forgiven, broken and gentleness.
God bless 
Grateful for improving self awareness.
Grateful to have the ability to set and keep healthy boundaries.
I am grateful I don’t HAVE to drink!!
No I don’t!!
I’m grateful I felt 
comfortable sitting at a bar last night having pizza. Didn’t want to wait 30 minutes for a table. I don’t think I’ve done that before.
I’m grateful we saw a Coyote and a mountain lion on our dog walk yesterday. Or am I and no I did not want to pet the kitty 
. Welcome to the desert right? That was not in the brochure 
I’m grateful for the sober sense of dread and anxiety and helplessness I felt last night when we couldn’t find Alice. I’m grateful I was not a raging lunatic. I’m grateful I called my daughter about it. I didn’t want her to worry but I had to share it with someone. She was glad I called her. During the conversation Alice came down the guest bedroom hallway. We looked for a solid hour for that cat. We still don’t know where she was. Ginger cunt gave me a heart attack.
I’m grateful Minnie was rumpusing this morning like a young puppa. She looked so cute.
I’m grateful I’m plugging along on the new home and not overdoing it and not hurting my back.
I’m grateful for you guys.
I’m grateful for TS.
Im grateful for my pets and all their unconditional love. Even Alice 
I’m grateful for the genuine joy to get up in the morning and start the day.

Edit** as long as there’s coffee 
G’morning y’all 
I’m so grateful for those of you who replied to my gratitude yesterday. I just re-read your posts and felt like I was smack in the middle of a love fest. Y’all are like sunshine. 
I’m grateful for a new perspective on things lasting “forever”. I wrote about it on the Our Brains and Recovery thread. I’m not sure if anyone reads over there, and I almost requested that the thread be deleted… but I didn’t, because it helps me. And I’m grateful for that.
I’m grateful for this beautiful new day, grateful for waking up with a thirst for knowledge and answers to certain questions. I’m grateful for learning that when I’m still and quiet those answers are there, just waiting to be acknowledged.
I’m grateful @Bluekoolaid let us know what he’s going through. I like having specifics to pray about and send out to the universe. I’m grateful he’s protecting his sobriety. You are truly on my heart, Trevor. This will pass.
