Whoop whoop!!! 90 days! Thats awesome!!! congratulations!!!
Iām grateful Iām sober.
Still trying to get home.
Looks like another 30 hour day.
Iām grateful I got a 2 hour nap in.
Iām grateful travel fuck days are much easier to navigate sober. Frankly donāt know how I did it all those years. Iām grateful I will not wake up with a hangover. If I ever get to bed
Morning,
Iām grateful that my first ever drinking dream was just that, a dream. It took me a few moments to realise it wasnāt real and I hadnāt been drinking, the relief was unreal.
Iām grateful that we were able to go to the cinema yesterday, Top Gun, so good!! Iām grateful for spending the time together, it was nice.
On the way home we nipped to do a litte shoppette. Later on in the evening my partner told me how heād had a fleeting thought as he got near the alcohol. I asked him what he did, he said he just turned left and kept walking and that it was just a quick passing thought. Iām grateful I knew exactly what he meant.
Iām grateful Iām waking up without feeling rough, without shame and without disappointment.
Thanks everyone
I am grateful that finally I listened to my body and mind. The discussion is not over. To the contrary it only started but I will take it. I know these inner voices. We know them I wonāt go into detail as this is not the right place.
I am grateful itās Sunday and I donāt have to do anything. (Voices tell me but they have to shut up).
I am grateful for this community bc as someone said recoverywise I am a bit lost atm. Sobrietywise I have my group and thatās fine but there is a but.
I am grateful I internalised that not everyone has to meet all of my needs. Itās okay to have different persons for different needs.
I am grateful I have enough.
Iām truly grateful for all of your posts. You fill my heart with gratitude when I am lacking and help me find some for myself. Thank you all for posting
Today I am grateful that my 3rd wasp sting of this year didnāt full on surprise my with anaphylaxis instead I got warning signs and though a Saturday, I was able to find an open urgent care to call in an epi pen just in case. My mother went anaphylaxis at about my age so Iāve been watching for it. Im grateful my sister is a nurse practitioner and I can call her when im unsure if im over reacting and she gives me stern instructions on what to do lol
Im grateful I am taking the dui class on my own and not court ordered, I removed my need for argument, character defect, by being proactive. Fortunately I did because the instructor definitely does not seem to like me one little bit. Within 2 hours I picked up on that. Im grateful I did so I could stop talking and just listen the rest of the day and not cause further friction with another human being.
Im grateful for the few people who were at the AA meeting I desperately needed last night. I didnāt want to drink per say but I wanted to numb the feelings of worthlessness and self pity I have been struggling with. My higher power put the right people there for me to hear last night. \ā/
Im grateful this is the last day of that class and I wonāt have to sit uncomfortably in a room I feel āless thanā anymore. I dont do well with that. This is just a blip in time.
Im grateful for quiet morning readings and quiet time for reflection and meditation
Good morning all,
Congrats on 90 @Cjp!
Iām grateful we got some good rain yesterday and this morning is nice and cool. Iām grateful I get to go on a walk with my husband when I finish my coffee. Iām grateful that we are able to buy the things the kids need for school. Iām grateful my life is manageable now. Iām grateful I took time to do my nails yesterday. I didnāt have the attention span, nor did I feel I deserved it while I was drinking. Im grateful,like @anon74766472 , that I donāt have to do anything today(my voices can just shut up too!)
Everyone have a wonderful day- I hope you make it home soon @Dazercat
Hope you got more sleep last night! Blackie (?)seems like a sweet dog.
Iām grateful to God please help me be my best clean and sober self while doing your will just for today. Iām grateful for my recovery and itās blessings and challenges. Iām grateful for All my family, friends TS and the grati-dudes. Iām grateful I have time to play where did Blackie hide one of my shoes, hope itās in one piece Lol Wtf Iām grateful for daily readings, prayers and gratitude. Iām grateful for music, creativity, humor and laughter. Iām grateful for phone calls with friends even if they go on way to long.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Enjoy the moments, smile and breathe, youāre worth it. Ya You!!
Gāmorning yāall
Iām grateful for waking up without a hangover and not wasting my weekend drinking. Iām grateful in the beginning of my sobriety I became more curious about, rather than obsessed with, my alcohol cravings. I truly believe curiosity allowed me to throw myself into learning and being mindful of the addiction instead of remaining swallowed whole by it.
Iām grateful for @Twizzlers. Iām so proud of you and happy for all youāve accomplished. Iām in awe of your strength after all youāve gone through, and Iām glad youāre here.
Iām grateful for @RosaCanDoās presence here. Thank you for being an inspiration for me to keep on keeping on with my sobriety. I appreciate you.
Iām grateful to Eric for sharing his trip with us. I see you there, typing. You make me want to travel somewhere foreign. Iām grateful I still have dreams and imaginationā¦ that, along with your trip photos, keep my dreams alive. Iām grateful for you.
Iām grateful weāre having lunch at my MILās house. It will give me another chance to work on old resentments. The work never really ends, does it? Iām grateful for that, too.
Iām grateful we made it home after a 27 hour clusterfuck of a travel day. Sober. Not hungover. Iām grateful it was the best trip ever. Iām sitting here gratefully dazed and amazed at the wonder of any trip like that to a foreign country. Itās been awhile.
Iām grateful Iāve been blessed to have had many trips abroad to Europe and ALL of them have have been a great big Hall Pass to drink all day every day. Even at 16 years old traveling to France with my parents, when I got my first most severe hangover. Iām grateful this trip was very special in this way without booze. Iām grateful I was strong and confident in my sobriety and I had absolutely no desire or urges to drink. For that I am truly grateful. And Iām fucking proud of myself.
Iām grateful our travel companions made it back home together to Austin.
Iām grateful for the Norma video I woke up too. Iām grateful I am already in the thinking planning stages of going to see my granddaughter in a couple of weeks. Iām grateful my pets will just have to understand.
Iām grateful our pets and I guess COVID have kept us from traveling and Iām grateful itās hard for me to leave them behind. Itās that dang unconditional love they give me. Iām grateful I reckon Iām going to be doing it a lot and grateful it might get just a tad easier. Iām grateful for all the joy my pets give me. Iām grateful I would not trade that for any trip anywhere.
Iām grateful I can sense my anxiety coming home and having to deal with my codependent issues. Itās not like I didnāt have them in France. Iām grateful I know what I got to do. Iām grateful thereās a meeting tonight. Iām grateful I might go to it. Iām grateful I might not. Iām grateful Iām going to take it 1 hour at a time. And hopefully I can graduate and take it ODAAT. Iām grateful I can pause and breathe and pray and hopefully remember to let go and let God.
Iām grateful I was able to bring you all along for support. It was fun having yāall with me.
āIām grateful I didnāt drink on this trip and Iām probably not drinking on the next tripā
Good morning, I have missed posting a couple of days but I have been full of gratitude.
My life is amazing; itās busy, full of laughter and love. I am grateful that I didnāt give up on NA a year and a half ago. Instead I found the courage to turn my nose in the other direction and got to meetings in another area. I am grateful I found my people there.
For the last week I have been very conscious about sitting with the depth of surrender in the mornings. I feel like the whole " my name isā¦ and I am an addict." Sort of becomes robotic after a time, for me anyways. So sure I say I am an addict many times a day but I hadnāt been surrendering to that truth for sometime. I am grateful that the basics work and that whenever I lose footing if I just do what I did in the begining I will be ok.
I am grateful for the relationships that I am building because of my recovery . I am grateful for what they are teaching me about myself and about other people. I am grateful for DBT especially the interpersonal effectiveness module.
I canāt imagine living anywhere else on this planet, I just love where I live so much. I am grateful to be surrounded by water sources, different places to dip in the heat wave. Rivers, lakes, the oceanā¦ I am grateful for the smell of the sea and the cool breeze that comes off her.
Brian, I am sending you lots of love. I am very grateful that you have a strong program to get you through these shitty times. Everything you said is true, itās the time for growth, and growth hurts.
I am grateful to have today off and to be cooking a birthday meal of chicken cordon bleu, rice, and brussel sprouts for my sister which I will celebrate sober.
I am grateful to be with my sig otha. I am going to start saying something I am grateful for about him each time I post to shift my habit of looking at what annoys me. He is kind, patient, and funny as hell.
I am grateful for tv shows and youtube meditions.
I am grateful to be here with everyone.
Thanks Stella. Grateful for the support, needed it. I agree and am also grateful for the sources of water, I certainly feel that more lately working on Great Lake Erie everyday.
Iām grateful to have a clean house. Itās nice to wake up and it not be dirtied after I clean it.
Iām grateful for my friend C.
Iām grateful to be starting another puzzle. I took a break but I miss it. Can really help a few hours pass right by.
Iām grateful I finished all the days of this months fitness challenge.
Iām grateful to be off work tomorrow.
I hope everyone is having a good day
Hi All,
Iām grateful Iām accepting of all people and not quick to judge others, especially when I donāt know the entire story.
Iām grateful I know itās not my job to police others conversations even though on social media itās easy. This forum has moderators to do that.
Iām grateful I have stood up to bullies and have spoke up about abuse, both in real life.
Iām grateful for all the stories and shares of people on this forum, you have no idea how much you have touched my life.
Iām grateful for the love of so many here that has reached out to me. Iām a private person in nature and coming here was a huge step for me. I hope someday my story that I have not yet shared, may help someone.
I honestly believe Iām still alive because God still has a plan for me.
Hey gratidudes,
Im so very greatful forā¦
My sobriety, 91 days free from weed and alcohol
That hitting 90 days isnt the end of this journey
Next milestone of 100 days
My hubby
Hairy Boscoe
My parents who still love me like the baby
Using my patience while my dad was ordering me and my mom around to install a new car battery in my car lol
Found a deal on a spinning yard ornament and gifted it to my parents as a thank you for watching Boscoe while hubby and i are at work
@Dazercat had a wonderful sober vakay and is home safe, i see you on the meme threads love it!
A much needed nap after the whole car battery experience
Everyone here sharing their sober journies.
Still time to slay the day soberly!
This whole last week has been challenging, im grateful I didnāt give up in the moments I wanted to.
Im grateful my sponsor was at the district meeting for the bridge the gap program I went to after my dui class. I really needed to see her and hear her words of wisdom and support.
Iām grateful that after I had a hard time stopping crying in the class and the instructor asked if there was any questions before class was let out I had the courage to say yes. I had the courage to say I havenāt wanted to drink this bad for 2 months a 4 days. Im grateful I had the courage to say the extremely triggering videos set off memories of my past from abuse to death and put me in a mindeset I wanted to drink and drown out. Im grateful this instructor who had nothing for me yesterday asked me to stay after today and offered support.
Im grateful I have an open invitation to drop into any of his groups anytime I need or want to.
Im grateful I realize these emotions are just that, emotions. They will pass and there is nothing that a drink or a drug will make better today.
Im really working hard on changing negatives into positives and I truly belive gratitude is the first step in doing that. So thank you for letting me post often when I need to.
Iām grateful to not be alone
For hope
Iām grateful I can recover
Iām grateful for my God Mother Nature
Iām grateful even on my Worst days There is a solution.
Iām grateful this has become life or death for me and I have Acceptance.
More then anything Iām grateful Iām not going to wake up sick tomorrow morning shaking, paranoid , drenched in sweat and crawling my way to the liquor store . Iām grateful that I know tomorrow morning I will drink water and eat a good breakfast, go to the beach sober and healthy .
Iām grateful for the change that is happening in my life
Beautifully said post. For me at this stage of my life, I have a new respect for gratitude. I look back a lot and see just how blessed I truly have been in recovery. Even in the losses I have endured I see I was blessed by those people who came into my life but had to go home. There have been times I did not think I could make it and the Alcoholic voice was right there saying go ahead it is okay. I am grateful for everything I learned in recovery to be able to say no and get back to gratitude, peace and the beauty of life.
All of my 20s I was just getting sober to save up for 6 month binges ā¦ it was sad . I wasnāt done and I couldnāt simply Accept the fact that Iām a alcoholic and a drink will always take me back to detox or just simply ruin everything right away for me ā¦ I had to accept that for me drinking is never going to work . But the solution Iām learning comes from daily communication with people who understand. Making staying sober number 1 over everything. I canāt beat my self up in took 15 years of playing with fire to learn . I finally get it
