I’m grateful to wake up and read your gratitudes during your amazing vacation! Still green with envy and so incredibly happy for you at the same time is enjoy reading about your trip. I smile the whole way through. Thank you for sharing Eric
Today I woke up finally out of my ungrateful funk. I’m really, really grateful for that. Between health issues and financial issues and family issues of a blended family with blended kids pitting the adults against the other kids I was feeling overwhelmed for about a week. After I commented in the check in post yesterday I realized how I was adhering to old behavior and hugging my issues. I’m grateful for the wake up call. Grateful to be sitting outside on a lovely Florida morning enjoying the sunshine and waking world before the heat drives me inside. I’m grateful I got a mostly decent nights sleep. I’m grateful I got a glimpse of the eagle pair this morning out being the rulers of the sky. They bring me peace. I’m very grateful for the love and support you guys have given me since I bared my soul yesterday. I’m grateful to know that I can come here with my test results and good or bad know that I am not facing it alone. I’m grateful to finally be grateful again. I hope you all have a blessed, grateful and clean and sober day. I love you guys!
This morning I’m grateful for waking up for what appears to be a learning day. My gratitude for this realization that there are no bad days, just good days and learning days. I don’t have to have any more “bad days”! I’m sitting here with my coffee and vape realizing that a very cool lesson is going to be added to my books, maybe even another level of spiritual awakening. I went from “why don’t I feel happy this morning, oh poor me”, to wow I’m gonna learn something really amazing today and instantly my mood shifted. This in itself I’m realizing as Im writing is a spiritual awakening, a paradigm shift! I’ve been coaching myself along my “learning days” the past few months trying to get this absorbed into my brain and through writing this I get to see that I have, today, put this into action in my life. What a gift! I did not have to do one hour of a “bad day”. I saw it as a learning day from the moment I started processing my feelings upon waking and daaaaaaang, I’m grateful for a learning day today! Truly if all days were just good days how would I get better, how would I level up, how would I transform my life into the life of infinite recovery that I want? Yes, ladies and gents, today I am GRATEFUL for a learning day.
What a beautiful post! I needed to see that this morning. Thanks for sharing
G’morning y’all
I’m grateful I get to spend the day with the chicklets. We’re going to finger paint this morning, and I’m grateful for the new artwork I’ll have from them.
I’m grateful I got to see Keely for her birthday. She’s so well balanced, a beautiful soul full of joy and kindness. I’m grateful she was brought into my life. I adore her.
A belated Happy Birthday to you, @eph-M-eral. Your share is inspiring. I’m grateful you’re here. I’m also grateful for your pal with the cabin. It sounds lovely to have that getaway.
I’m grateful for quashing some old resentments that tried to come up yesterday. It hinders my growth when I let my mind think on things I have zero control over, so I just let them go. I’m grateful letting go of things that don’t nourish my life is becoming easier and easier.
I’m grateful to see @SassyBoomer. I’ve missed you here.
I’m grateful for the beauty in our world. I’m grateful we share the same skies. My heart isn’t lonely when I think of all of you. I’m grateful I’m sober.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for the picture of the field of sunflowers I woke up to thanks @Dazercat!
I’m grateful to read about finger painting with the chicklets. I’m grateful that I decided to work with a different team today- very out of my comfort zone. I’m grateful it’s still cloudy this morning. And that I still have some coffee left to drink.
Everyone have a wonderful day
I’m so grateful for time with 2 of our grandsons. Im even more grateful these boys have an alert and fast acting grandpa that didn’t hesitate when the youngest, Wilbur, fell in the water and sank. I heard about it later. My husband was a bit shook up thinking about the what if’s, but the what if’s didn’t happen and everyone came home safe and sound and brought a fish home for dinner.
I’m grateful I have a job interview today. If they decide to go with someone else, thats ok. Ive prayed about it and asked for my highers will, not mine, be done. Im grateful that this day I can rest easy knowing in my heart that I will land where I am meant to.
Im grateful for the calm peace I have in my soul right now. Its not always this way, so I truly appreciate it when I have it. I have to work for it,and sometimes i need reminders what to do to get this peace back. Im grateful for those who remind me.
Im grateful for all of you, my friends both in and out of AA, and my family.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I measured the apartment. It is stressing me, really. But I’ll figure it out. I’ve scheduled an appointment for Monday for the new kitchen bench. I can do this.
I am again grateful that I don’t care a lot about Feng Shui, as long as my stuff fits in somehow I will be fine.
I am happy I only had to listen to a conversation between my colleagues in the office. It was more of a monologue. I am grateful for recovery. I already learned so much and I am just a the beginning. Being grateful and humble.
I am grateful I have a seat in the train back home. I am grateful I can walk when German railway decides to switch platforms last minute.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful that Paula and Dora found a new home. Sadly I cannot post videos here. But here new owner sent me a video from them in the garden and Paula sprinting off somewhere. Shortly after this Dora following her sister. I am so happy. Stupidly happy. Like a child. I am grateful sobriety is giving me back the ability to be happy about the small moments.
I’m grateful to God please help be my best clean and sober self while doing your will, just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery with its blessings and challenges. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the grati-dudes. I’m grateful for sunshine, blue skies, the sounds of the water and the breeze, very calming when I am able to just be at peace with it and enjoy the moment. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful my record of employment arrived in the mail yesterday. I’m grateful for daily readings, prayers and gratitude. God give me strength and wisdom to work through and let go of resentments, defects and expectations. I’m grateful for humor and laughter.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are amazing. Ya you!!
More gratitude…
I’m grateful for ice cream, curly hair, and the cutest of smiles. I’m grateful for the little “big” things that bring so much happiness.
Adorable!
I am grateful to be sober and to have gotten quite a bit of rest this weekend before heading into 4 overnight shits (i mean shifts! Must have been a Freudian slip)
I am grateful that I am starting to send out some emails to therapists in the state looking for someone who can do online sessions. Everyone is pretty booked so it could take awhile.
I am grateful for the break in the intense heat. I am a fall and winter girl and I am personally looking forward to the cooler darker months.
I am grateful for all of the inspiration I find on TS and ITR. Sometimes off this app and outside of mtgs, within my family I feel like the only one who cares about sobriety.
I am grateful to be here with everyone.
Hi,
I’m grateful for long chats with my daughters. They come and sit on my bed when they’ve finished work and chat about anything and everything, sometimes together sometimes on their own. It is so nice. I would never never have been able to do this a few months ago. By early evening I would have been past holding a conversation with anyone.
I’m grateful to be present in their lives and also my own.
I’m grateful to feel peaceful. No great shakes going on. Just plodding along each day, enjoying whatever comes up.
I’m grateful for not drinking today or wanting to.
Thanks Jen! I’m a fall and winter girl, too.
I’m grateful my health has been fully restored and I’m grateful I got the job
Congrats on the new job @Shaunda !!!
Congratulations on both!
I had my intake appointment today with the eating disorder clinician at the hospital. It was quite the intake, lots of questions which I wasn’t prepared for. I purposely went in unprepared, if I had spent anytime thinking about what today would have been like I probably would not have logged onto that ZOOM appointment. I am grateful that I have been gifted the pause in recovery where I can sit with a question for a minute before I answer it. Not to think of how I will answer it, instead to let everything settle. To let all of the emotions that questions raise float back down to their appropriate places. I am grateful that I can respond today instead of react. I am grateful I have been placed with this particular clinician who is a Trauma Specialized Counsellor and has facilitated DBT in the past for many years. When she said to me that she likes to deal with the problem at hand and that ED is a symptom of the problem I knew we were going to get along great. I am grateful that she is not down with old school ideas around addressing ED. I am grateful for her experience, encouragement and gentle guidance.
I am grateful for a partner who is caring, understanding and is active in recovery. I am so grateful for him.
I’m grateful today was a better day at work. I’m grateful for people who work in HR and for their support. I apparently have grounds for some kind of formal complaint situation against a co-worker. I’m grateful I can take some time to discern if that is what will be best for me, for the situation, …even for her. Lots to ponder there…
I’m grateful I had yesterday off. It was my bday gift to myself! Time. Wow, is that ever the most precious thing, hey? So much time I wasted, being wasted… But yesterday? A sweet gift of time to myself. There were intense thunderstorms - beautiful. I made sweet potato shepherds pie. Read my book. Lotsa walks. Started to post here, but passed out and woke up with the light on, my iPad on my chin, and my tea cold. I do love the shameless delight of waking up after passing out sober!
I’m so grateful for all the birthday well wishes here. For being able to show up here with my words and honesty and feel seen and heard and understood. Best gift ever. For your kind words (not tagging anyone) Pandita, and Alisa (happy everyday!), Shaunda, Franzi, Tragicfarinelli, Stella, and Carolyn. And Lisa, Jason, PinkyP, Faughx, Peace, and Sunflower (I always forget the 1 and some other sunflower must be scratching her head!).
I’m grateful it’s never too late.
I’m grateful for another day.
@Dazercat, yes please to Gratitude Tour! Je parle un peu de Francais! Ok, not really too much, but I can order coffee like the best of them!
@Shaunda - congrats on the new job and renewed health!
This pic makes me melt faster than ice cream!
I’ll bet’cha she’s smiling so big cuz she sees you smiling all of your love and gratitude to her.
