Morning everyone,
I’m grateful to be home safe from our holiday.
I’m grateful to sleep in my own bed.
I’m grateful for my tea maker by my bed.
I’m grateful to enjoy my first holiday without drinking, another first.
I’m grateful to be part of this group, a quiet one, but very much here.
Thanks for having me

I’m grateful to get up at 4:45 
every morning for awhile and not be hungover. Hell, I’d still be drunk. I’m grateful I can get the dogs out and walked before 6 am. I’m grateful I’m not sweating booze on these walks. I’m grateful my stomach feels fine on these early morning walks when I’m sober. I’m grateful I don’t have a crushing headache while walking the dogs this early because I drank. I don’t know why it took me so long in life to sober up. But I guess it doesn’t matter today. Today I’m grateful I’m sober. I’ll probably be grateful I’m sober tomorrow.
I’m grateful Benson doesn’t seem as fucked in the head. I’m grateful maybe the Trazodone might be helping his anxiety or maybe he just likes it here in the desert. I’m grateful we met our new vet here yesterday for boarding and we’ve come up with a plan if Alice isn’t very cooperative when they try and give her subcutaneous fluids when we are gone. I’m grateful this vet is a “Cat Friendly,” practice. I’m grateful for the confidence we both felt in the vet when we were talking to her.
I’m grateful my landscape lighting works and I’m grateful it looks pretty dang nice.
I’m grateful for the desert clouds and sunsets and sunrises I get to see each day. I’m grateful for their colors. I’m grateful for where I live. I’m grateful the desert never ceases to amaze me. I don’t know how anything fucking lives out here. With all this heat and no rain. I’m grateful to God. He knows. He always knows. I’m grateful for the saguaro 
they never cease to amaze me and I’m grateful I think they look funny. I’m grateful I always think of Bugs Bunny and the Roadrunner cartoons from when I was a child. And I’m grateful that makes me feel a little giddy which makes me happy. I’m grateful I know I’m truly blessed.
I’m grateful to knock out this gratitude so I can get another walk in for myself so we can get to our new dermatologist. I’m grateful I’m proactive and setting up all these new doctor appointments. All my doctors were in Santa Monica. I pray God continues to put the right people, doctors, in the right place at the right time. I’m grateful I was able to hook up with my chiropractor yesterday. I used him briefly in 2018 when I lived in Anthem AZ for a short while. We remembered each other and he is again, and still, my favorite chiropractor yet. I’m grateful he is so caring and gentle and explains what he’s doing when he does it. And everything like office stuff and scheduling is done electronically and I never have to call anyone.
I’m grateful for my Home Group of Gratidudes.

I’m even grateful for phoebe and her RBF, she loves my husband who practically ignores her and tolerates me who caters to her notice the heating pad she is laying on. Thats me. Lol

Im grateful the sun is shining today.

I am grateful for my amazing boyfriend Britton. He means the world to me and helps with my sobriety. He even stopped drinking💞
I am grateful for the hardships I have been through because without I wouldn’t be who I am. I know it sounds crazy….
I am grateful for my Granny. She took me in when my addictions got put of hand and my mental health got too much for me to handle.

Hey y’all 
I had the chicklets again yesterday and some of you may remember that the oldest is autistic. Meltdowns rarely happen at my house, but yesterday afternoon she had one that lasted more than an hour. I’m grateful for being calm and patient. I’m grateful I’ve learned what to do and say as well as what to not do and say. She had thoughts run through her mind that led her to believe she wouldn’t have her upcoming birthday. She was devastated, saying she would never turn 6 years old, she wouldn’t have a cake or balloons or friends… it broke my heart. She would calm down, but after a few minutes she was in tears again. Times like this, I’m incredibly grateful for my sobriety. Once she was finally ok, she held on and hugged me like I was her lifeline. I’m so grateful I can be fully present for her. I’m grateful for her beautiful, complex mind. She is a gift. 
I’m grateful for realizing although communication is key, nothing will come of it when there’s no comprehension. I’ve learned that my delivery, my method, my tone of voice, the quietness of my message… nothing gets through, nothing is understood without a willingness to hear and an effort to know. I’m grateful to know I’m still learning instead of falling apart.

I’m grateful to God thank you for guiding me through this lovely morning and please help me be my best clean and sober self while performing your will as I go about the rest of the day. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, and our gratidude home group, its my absolute fave. I’m grateful the sun is shinning makes the work day busier and better. I’m grateful for good sleeps, warm showers, big smiles and wacky wednesdays. I’m grateful good days can fuel the next, if not reset and try again. I’m grateful that I can be busy, miss meetings and know that I can come here, talk to God whenever and pick up the thousand pound phone, not just for others but for me, I matter too. I’m grateful for daily readings, prayers gratitude and exercise. I’m grateful as @anon74766472 says I have enough, more tha enough probably. I’m grateful that I can continue to work on halt, specifically the lonely part that has been troubling me as I have mentioned. I’m grateful others have mentioned the same and are learning to accept that being single, pet free, not much family is a challenge but one we can fix and hep eachother through. I’m grateful its normal to be a little jealous of the people that do have those things and to let it go and live life onlifes terms is possible.
God bless you all. 
&
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good and looks great on you. Ya you!!

Good morning fam-dam.
Ahhhhhhhhh… I am not sure if it was that moon, the energy that has been emit from the people around me or a combination of both but the last week has been borderline unmanageable; but not. It has been such a strange feeling to be faced with so many situations that would have sent me over the edge in the ‘before days’ ( thanks M ) things that would have caused me to create unmanagability in my own life because I couldn’t handle the unmanagability of others. Does that even makes sense? I used to meet chaos with chaos, kinda like… “oh you think that’s bad watch this.” Now I seem to meet it with compassion (for self and others), curiosity, patience and kindness. I am grateful for that.
I am grateful that I know how to keep myself in this place of love instead of self obsession. I have been to three meetings in the last two days and homegroup is tonight. I have been diving into literature and wow, found a doozy…
I am grateful that I recognized some anger raising in myself last weekend after the festival and was able to do a step exercise around it. It always come full circle back to our wounded self… always. I am so fucking grateful for recovery and how quickly I can let shit go now.
I am grateful to feel excitement about meeting my man friends eldest child tomorrow night. I can’t wait.

Im grateful to be clean and sober.
Im grateful for this forum and thread. I love the home group title that is catching on. It fits.
I come this thread first most of the time these days. I also stay caught up with it more than any other.
I don’t always write, reading your posts is enough to feed my attitude of gratitude.
Im feeling like I need to manage my time better. I’m about to get super busy again. Its Ironic how the first thing to go in my thinking is recovery related stuff. I’m grateful to recognize that its a bad idea. Recovery has given me the life that has me busy. Its good busy. I love everything I do for work. Its going to keep getting better too. I owe it to daily maintenance. My gratitude helps me because I work hard to keep it. It helps me to live in the moment. It helps me let go of the past and not future trip fuck myself up too much. I’m not perfect. I still have anxiety. I regret some things I did in the past. I future trip fuck myself up. I don’t sit in it very long, because I’m grateful for the present. Im grateful to be alive and experience everything life has to offer.
I’m grateful for all the tools and the support I have. Im grateful for the willingness to use them.
