I’m grateful to God please continuing guiding me through this day clean and sober while doing my best to follow your will. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours. I’m grateful for All my family and friends and the grati-dudes. I’m grateful for daily readings that hit just right, prayers that give strength and music that fills my heart and soul. I’m grateful for the people that reach out to me. God give me strength and help remove my defects.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to take a moment to just smile and breathe it feels good. Ya You!!
Checking in on my official completed Day 1. Last drink was Tuesday, but the count starts after 24 hrs, and I made it roll over at midnight this time so I don’t celebrate early like I’ve done before.
Now for anyone that’s still awake after my compelling start…
I’m grateful I’m sober and have no desire to drink. I’m grateful I realized I was blaming disease symptoms on my sobriety. I’m grateful I have a place here and I’m always welcomed. I’m grateful I’ve made true friends on this forum. I’m grateful you’re all in my life, sometimes it’s lonely on your own, but knowing the light is always on here helps. (I think that’s similar to an old cheap motel commercial). I’m grateful that I have a hobby to fill my down time. I’m grateful for my job that keeps me busy throughout the days. I’m forever grateful for Max and Riley and their unconditional love.
Eric, I’m going to try to post on this thread (home group) every single day like you do, even if I don’t post elsewhere. Because everyday is a blessing.
I’m grateful for this forum and my friends within.
I’m grateful for my dogs and their unconditional love.
I’m grateful for @anon74766472 for pushing me to join this thread.
I’m grateful that I’m returning from an eye doctor visit and my vision hasn’t gotten worse and also that I was able to afford the overage on the bill I wasn’t expecting.
Im grateful you are back on the sober train with us @maxwell . To be 100% i havent finished my painting yet, didnt feel right sharing without you here lol im weird i know. You were missed
I am so grateful you are here and posting.
I am grateful for day 1 completed. Day 1 is always the hardest for me.
Im grateful you didn’t simply leave and stay gone. You would be missed!
The light is always on
Last post before I get the error of ‘no more than 3 consecutive posts’
Hi Dana, I just want to say I’m grateful for you as well. You asked the right question when I fell, and It helped me back up. Sending love & hugs to you, your husband & little dude.
Welcome. First day is huge. Well done. Grateful you have found If I do say so myself the best group/thread/page of this whole app. There is real work being done, lives being shared and support being given. Very grateful for all you gratidudes
I HATE that error message when u can’t post more than 3 consecutively haha that made me laugh. I’m glad what I asked u helped but u did the work girl I was concerned for u but I had this feeling that u wouldn’t be gone for long. I’m soo glad u came right back here. We all missed u flowers for u!
I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through a productive day, clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I know my value. I’m grateful I can admit after years of being here, (literally this thread) and in recovery I still seek acceptance and struggle at times with self acceptance. I’m grateful to be aware that putting myself back into the dating world again had revealed some of these defects like the acceptance I just mentioned. I’m grateful that I got a new sponsee tonight and my higher power put me and him in this position at the right time. I’m grateful despite my current failing, for lack of another word, others still see my value as well. I have been struggling in some area, obsessing a little about using to numb my broken heart and the continued rejections from a few different women, so I have been attending more meetings lately, trying to help others is what I can and need to do. I’m grateful that being asked to sponsor this gentleman tonight motivated me to do the same and I now have a sponsor and grandsponsor that I have already known for years. I’m grateful I have been working alot and starting to push back a bit regarding how things operate there and that its unmanagble. I’m grateful that my bosses brother is one of my good friends and is in recovery so that when I say these things to my boss he gets it and knows I come from a place of love, respect and trying to help better all of our situations. I’m grateful my Mom messaged today. I’m grateful I am spending the long weekend at my friends farm, house and dog sitting while they go on vacation. I’m grateful for muisc and creativity. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful I can call my friend and say good night now.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are absolutely amazing. Ya you!!
p.p.s. Glad your back @maxwell keep moving forward
I’m grateful I’m sober.
First wine tasting. Still AF
I’m grateful I’m up early before everyone. And grateful I don’t have a hangover.
I’m grateful this trip was bought and paid for back in summer 2019 when I was drinking and COVID kept rescheduling our plans. And as extravagant as this trip seems. And I’m grateful and blessed it is. It kinda seems like a free trip. All that money has been long gone for almost 3 years now. So that’s pretty cool.
I’m grateful my wife made it to bed last night. I’m grateful I got Al-Anon meetings I can go to when I get home. Last night I realized just how traumatized I have been about her drinking. She didn’t do anything wrong last night. Neither did I. I just couldn’t sleep until she was safely in our room 2 hours after I left her. I’m grateful I tried everything, hot shower, 2 long guided meditations, deep breathing. But I could not stop worrying about her. So I’m grateful I really realize how traumatized I am about those last 2 restaurant scenes back home this summer. And I’m grateful if there was ever any doubt in my mind about going to Al-Anon when I get home. There isn’t any doubt I need Al-Anon 12 step meeting asap. I’m grateful I’m good. I’m real good. I’m grateful I got my homies to dump this on so I can get it off my chest and have a nice day For the most part everything has been good on the trip in my codependency issues. It’s been great!
I’m grateful I got no problem leaving the gang while they’re drinking at night and going to bed earlier.
I’m grateful after this G-List I’m going to have an early morning walk about in Saverne. My last one
I’m grateful the vet sent pics of my babies.
I’m grateful to get almost caught up on here. Happy birthday M. Nice to see a Chicklet. Especially grateful to remember CJs hubby’s sobriety. That’s a beautiful thing nice to see you again Becker. I’m grateful people like following me on my trip. I’m glad you’re enjoying it remotely too Jason. Your presence is huge for me on this boat. I hope that anxiety can fuck right off. I guess after last night, for me anyway, I just had to power through it sometimes. Using my tools. Let it happen until it goes away. It’s certainly not worth giving in to.
I’m grateful for strong sobriety.
And, it’s an oldy one but a goody. Its easier for me to stay sober than start over.
I’m grateful to see you back and you make a wonderful addition to our home thread.
One Stinkin Grateful Day At A Time
The light is definitely always on.
Little extra gratitude here.
I’m grateful everyone else stayed up late drinking. I’ve had the boat to myself for 3 hours this morning and the most lovely walk around Saverne watching all the bakers open up shop.
I started my sobriety day midnight the day after drinking. I feel I’ve taken it more serious that way, as I waited a full 24hrs after drinking and then waited until midnight that night. Previously I had started from the last drink I had and somehow always relapsed.
I’m grateful to read the gratitudes, there are some great ones this morning, makes me think about things I’ve not thought of.
I’m grateful for the realisation many months ago that it was time to change, change my outlook, my lifestyle, my health and my habits.
I’m grateful I stuck at it. I can’t imagine doing now what I used to do most nights.
I’m grateful there is so much support around if you want it. Books, podcasts, meetings, forums, friends, family, journals, websites…
I’m grateful I found all of these
