Dedicating my gratitude list to @Dazercat this morning.
I’m grateful for every moment of healing that comes into my life. I’m grateful for the surprise of where it can come from. I’m grateful that I learned how to be grateful that my birth mother lost us kids to Texas. I’m grateful I worked through all that trauma in my childhood that led me down my mother’s path of addiction. I’m even grateful I met my mother later in life and learned she was still in active addiction because that was part of the catalyst that helped me get clean when it was time.
I’m more grateful than I can express to read this morning the name of Eric’s new granddaughter. My mother was named Norma. This healed another piece of my soul and brought me peace.
My sobriety, 71 days and rising
My hubby and Boscoe
People sharing here about new births and deaths and their sobriety - it gives me hope that i may weather the storm of emotions when the time comes.
Hot showers and hot coffee
Being able to pay my bills on time, hopefully i will be able to save some money this month
Looking forward to going to an AA meeting tonight with my sponsor
So many things to be greatful for, too many to list
Greatful for everyone sharing their sober journies and the feeling of fellowship.
Love you all. Let us go out and slay the day soberly.
I’m grateful to God for the miracle of life. Especially my granddaughter. In case you haven’t heard
I’m grateful mother and father and baby are all good.
I’m grateful mom pushed the little bugger out before the 3 hours came or they would have done a C section. It was close . I’m grateful my big spring family vacation fell apart in 2020 because of COVID and we won’t all get to be together for the postponed trip to France next week. I’m grateful God had other plans. I get a baby granddaughter instead. Thank you God I’ll take your plan happily.
I’m grateful I get to share my happiness here with you all from all around the world. I think that’s pretty fucking cool. And I think you’re all pretty effing cool. I better start watching my language.
I’m grateful my boy’s a dad. He hasn’t got a fucking clue. neither did I. I’m grateful he asked me for advice. Any advice on being a parent. Advice?
“Go with your heart son.” “And you’ll be ok.” And if the baby is napping. Make sure you’re napping too.
I got a long list of mundane but import gratitude stuff this morning like Minnie and my coffee. A clean kitchen sink, that I cleaned myself last night without resentment. But none of that compares presently. I’m just grateful to be here full of gratitude, sober, feeling my feelings, still crying off and on. And pretty amazed at how “life” literally and figuratively just happens and it’s all out of my control. And it’s so much better. Always better. Sober.
Thank you guys for letting me share my happiness with you.

Thank you Mindy
So perfect. You should see how perfectly glowing Mom looks. She does not look like she gave birth and pushed for almost 3 hours. It’s amazing.
Hello Friends! I’m grateful for finding all of you here, I never could have made it this far on my own. I was asking God for help daily, who knew that the help would come in the form of an app.
I’m grateful that Baby Norma was welcomed into the world yesterday and everyone is healthy. She has no idea how lucky she is to have Grandpa Eric.
I’m grateful I raised a fabulous son, who is hard working and has an excellent job to take care of his family. I’m grateful for my beautiful grandboys, my son has been bringing them over for a visit monthly, it’s very special.
I’m grateful I have a job and can pay my bills. I’m grateful for my home with AC and food to eat.
I’m grateful for Max and Riley’s love daily. They’re so special and sweet and help keep me sober.
It’s good to be back after a long weekend trip. I’m grateful the second day was better than the first. I’m grateful for nature’s healing.
I’m grateful Norma Jo made her appearance early and all is well with mom and baby. Big congrats, Grampy! I saw what you told Jason about being done with fun time and giving her back. I’m in the same town as mine, so I can’t always do that. But I’m gonna give a big amen to your sentiments!
I’m grateful for 333 days alcohol free. I was thinking about that magical number yesterday, and although I’ve never felt “proud” of myself for quitting, that’s a pretty good start to the rest of my life. I’m grateful for strength and for knowing I didn’t have to do this alone. I’m grateful I have y’all.
I’m grateful for clear Colorado rivers and for being able to boulder-hop to get closer to the honey holes. I’m grateful for the soothing sounds of flowing water and the energetic ripples I feel when near it.
I’m grateful for being home. I guess I’m officially a plant mama now, because I wanted to bring them all with me.
I’m grateful @Sunflower1 is feeling better. It’s odd because I don’t normally have dreams I remember unless they’re interpretive. But I’ve been having some bad ones for the past week or so. I’m grateful to know it’s a phase. Wishing you strength
I am grateful I woke up sober
Grateful for Sunday service and the word of God that has been right on point for my life recently
I am grateful for family
I am grateful for how close we all are and grateful we give each other strength when the going gets tough
I am grateful I don’t get to walk alone in this path or in life
I am grateful I have faith and a thankful heart regardless of bad news
I am grateful for health the one thing we sometimes if not most the time take for granted
I am grateful my grandma is a joyous person and has the strength to fight the battle she has ahead of her
I am grateful that with us she has an army to lift her up and carry her through
We are with you grandma
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for the day off work. I’m grateful to have met a friend for breakfast. I’m grateful I got a lot of stuff done around the house which will help lessen stress when I’m working. I’m grateful for my family, my husband, our home.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I’m grateful to God thank you for guiding me through another productive day clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery with its challenges and blessings. I’m grateful for All my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for baby Norma Jo G. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful it rained. I’m grateful I got to visit with my friend, his three kids and wife on Saturday night. I’m grateful to be caught up here on my homethread, I missed, maybe a couple days again of posting but not reading. I’m grateful I can still live with an attitude of gratitude even when I don’t post. I’m very grateful I hear from TS members and them from me even when I am not active on the app. I’m grateful for daily readings, prayers and gratitude. I’m grateful I get to swim often again now that I work at the beach.
I’m grateful my building mate didn’t run away today and I got to enjoy some fresh baked cookies while watching some major league baseball with him tonight. I’m grateful I asked staff to perform a wellness check on him today and that he understood, depression is a real tough go sometimes. I’m grateful my sister has been messaging alot lately. I’m grateful that even though my lady friend her dog and I haven’t really worked out it has made me realize I am ready to meet someone and do have the time and space for the right person. I’m grateful I have signed up for an online dating thing for the first time ever, its so different trying to meet someone now , heavy sigh, said I wouldnt do the online thing for so long, gotta be willing to change with the times I guess.
God bless you all. &
