I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that at my doctors appointments when they ask how often I drink alcohol I can confidently say “Never. I do not drink anymore.”
I am grateful that in sobriety I have been able to save enough money to not be worried about going into debt having my knee surgery.
I am grateful that in the time waiting to have my surgery I have still been able to strength train, while slightly modified, to reduce pain and increase the likelihood of a speedy recovery.
I am grateful for the love and support I receive from my therapist, my sister, a few close friends and my TS fam.
Today I’m grateful for another normal day. I like waking up without pain. Still havn’t got a clue what happended. I’m just grateful and fine
I’m grateful the youngsters’ vet appointment is done and everything is fine. Not funny when they yodel all the way back and forth (30 min. drive one way). Even less funny when Schimanski shits himself in his box … Grateful they showered him at the vet. Next time they get calming meds before entering the car. Never before had I such nervous yodelers Poor kitties, enervated me.
Grateful I drove over to my mum to fix the fuse. One tap. But she could not fix it on her own and wanted to light a candle to have some light Nope, better not, might burn down the house … I’m grateful I have scheduled appointments for next week to make life easier.
Grateful for Missi cat, kneading and purring on me. She is a fluffy bunch of love with 5 kg. Now I know why I sometimes feel smothered
Hey y’all
I’m grateful the family dinner went well last night. I seriously don’t know where this calmness and patience is coming from, but I’m so grateful it’s right there when I need it most.
I’m grateful for Caroline. We’ve been playing phone tag for days, but it’s good to hear her sweet voice in my messages. We’ll both slow down one day… we can’t go at this pace forever. @Callie99
I’m grateful I’ve been better with talking on the phone. It’s not something that comes easily, but since my father-in-law’s passing I’ve been put in an auxiliary role for my MIL. Much of that consists of receiving and making calls. I get tongue-tied occasionally, but nothing so bad that I freak and hang up. I’m grateful for that and for being able to lesson her burden.
I’m grateful for crisp, cold apples. I started craving them (specifically honey crisp) during my first week of sobriety, and here I am, still keeping apple farmers in business.
I’m counting down the days ‘til my parents are here. I miss them and I’m grateful they’ll be here for my FIL’s Celebration of Life. I’m grateful all my kids will be there. It feels good to know I have people to lean on, and they have me.
Good evening-
I’m grateful for another day of sobriety. I am getting more days sober and putting in the work. I’m finally resting and grateful that I have this time off.
Grateful that my wife gets to go to Florida today for a girls weekend. I have put her through stressful times. She deserves this time.
Grateful that my daughter is doing well in school.
Grateful that my son continues to work full time and not complain.
Grateful to my HP as I alone could not make it through the day without my HP’s help.
I’m grateful for
My sobriety more then anything … Im learning how to live life without alcohol on a daily basis. I’m grateful that alcohol is no longer a solution but a huge step backwards. I’m grateful for this change that is happening in my soul . That beach house and a car in the driveway and a family doesn’t seem impossible but most Likely my future if I stay on the path … Also Really just finding peace and relief and being OK with right now.
I’m grateful for water, food , shelter , air conditioning, friends , family , talking sober, my guitar . Thank God
Quick check-in at lunch break. Today I’m grateful I realize when I’m grumpy and short tempered. Grateful I try my best to change it when I realize it.
Grateful I snapped at a complete idiot who mucked about me at the local waste yard where we dumped some bulky waste. I’m grateful that I’m quick-witted and don’t tolerate any sexist bullshit. Yes I’m a woman, yes I drive a truck, yes I handle a trailer. So what you illuminated beer soaker? Better shut up before I get out of my truck.
Grateful our place is sooooo much cleaner and more tidy without the litter What a relief
Grateful for my wonderful kitchen, for a full fridge, for preparing a quick lunch, for the dishwasher, the cloths washer, the vacuum cleaner, that the house stays pretty cool inside, the garden work I did in the morning, a cozy bed for siesta and the cats joining me with siesta. Grateful my husband also rests during the hot hours at noontime. Grateful he is really nicer since he can’t drink anymore because I don’t bring alcohol into the house and he must not drive to get some due to his DUI. I like sober him And I like sober me.
Today I am grateful to be alive.
I am grateful for my 2 days of sobriety.
I am grateful to be in a warm bed.
I am grateful to be safe.
I am grateful that sobriety laid the foundation for the journey back to myself. I’m grateful to feel peaceful and able to find happiness, especially in times where I would have struggled or self-sabotaged before. I am grateful that the people in my life are meant to be here. I am grateful I no longer feel hyper- vigilant to keep everyone happy and comfortable. Im grateful I’m learning that love is given freely. That although it is an action, it will never be something that I have to earn or sacrifice myself for. I’m grateful I know I deserve love. I’m grateful I learned to prioritize my needs. I’m grateful I learned that when I prioritize me I better show up for the people I love. I’m grateful I know I am enough. I am grateful I have such a beautiful life. I am grateful for all my growth. I’m grateful I acknowledge it now. I’m grateful that I know it’s worth celebrating. I’m grateful vulnerability is strength. I’m grateful I can give without self abandonment. I’m grateful I can be present and still be a dreamer. I am grateful for choice. I’m grateful for my 235 days of sobriety that was only just the beginning to falling back in love with me and the life I get to create for myself.
I’m grateful for all of you, especially the gratitudes.
Ps @ShesGotMoxie I’m grateful that your post led me here today I miss you, we will chat soon
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that even now I have to completely change my plans I am okay. Actually I don’t have a plan yet.
I am grateful it will drastically cool down.
I am grateful it cools down during the nights.
I’m grateful for not drinking yesterday, I didn’t want to.
I’m grateful for listening to my body today, I’m tired. I’ve just had a 20 minute nap, I never can normally nap.
I’m grateful for my family, my 3 children and my partner, we’re doing ok.
I’m grateful for the little chat with my partner about how I’m feeling, it feels nice to talk about it and tell him how good I feel.
I’m grateful for everyone here, all the stories, hopes, worries, encouragement, pics, memes.
I’m grateful
I’m grateful for another chance at a day sober and to learn more about myself from y’all on here.
Thank you
I’m grateful to learn I’m not special.
I’m grateful to realize, all my life drinking, I worked harder, showed up earlier, sold more, cleaned more, worked longer hours, took care of everything, or at least tried to take care of everything, just did more than those around me, so I could justify all my drinking and feel good and proud that I could handle EVERYTHING while drinking. And it work. And it was so exhausting. And way back I would also do all kinds of drugs to keep me going. But for the Grace Of God I’m still here.
And I’m enjoying every day I have sober. No matter who is drinking around me.
I’m grateful I drove a long way to dinner last night to our favorite restaurant and I didn’t have to worry about how much I had to drink. It would have been a dessert and 2 coffee night to try and offset the cocktails and wine so I could convince myself I could drive home.
I’m grateful I got to sit and enjoy my dinner with my sparkling water and not have to worry and plan my meal around how much can I drink and get away with it.
I’m grateful we have no one coming over to the house today.
I’m grateful the 8 hour security install is over with yesterday.
I’m grateful I got window cleaners coming tomorrow.
I’m grateful Minnie seems to love her new view as she’s always perked up and barking at something out the window. And I’m grateful to watch the 4 cats as they do there thing watching birds and bunnies in the window. And the Ol Burner. I’m grateful Minnie is definitely more “Spritely.”
I’m grateful for TS.
I’m grateful for this sober community.
I’m grateful for y’all.

Today I’m grateful for a cool and cloudy morning. Grateful for all the broken, unnecessary things we brought to the waste disposal. Wow, after a second truck load in the afternoon it looks like a proper, tidy place. So much space and so little things left scattered around. I’m deeply grateful we made the second truck load alltough it was very hot.
Grateful for my cozy bed and an early night today. I’m tired and content
Good morning sober fam,

Im greatful that ive survived this dark time of unemployment and my emergency funds i never thought id need.
Im greatful that my new job took a chance on me and their mission is to help the community. I think i will feel more fullfilled working towards a mission and not the bottom line.

Im greatful ive made it 19days alcohol and weed free. I feel my willpower growing with each passing day
So much to be greatful for. Thank you to all who participate here and share in their recovery and discovery of sobriety. This is not a competition of who can get the most days but a healthy environment to encourage everyone here to embrace the sober life.
