Iām grateful for my happy customers who fill my cup and soften the blow of the mean ones who come in just looking for someone to be a jerk to.
Iām grateful for an amazing daughter who rode her bike to the mall for me today and bought me some yummy smelling hand lotions while they were on sale.
Iām grateful that I know I dont have to stay lost or stuck in self pity today.
Iām grateful that I know I dont have to have the answers.
Iām grateful to be alive today.
Iām really trying to be grateful for scrappy, this new invasive squirrel. I havenāt seen rocky in some time. This dude, or dudette, has an attitude problem. He/she runs down the tree at me and grumpy little phoebe, who by the way doesnāt even notice scrappy, like its gonna rip us a new one. Its currently ripping out patches of grass and making its nest nice and comfy in our biggest tree. I miss my nice rocky and his clamoring in the mornings. I will adjust to scrappy, or it will adjust to me. 
until next time, when the saga of the squirrels continuesā¦
I am grateful I woke up hungover free.
I can remember last night. I am grateful the night is over. I got me thinking and feeling the upcoming stress. Saying goodbye.
I am grateful I only have to pay half month double rent. Thatās great.
I am grateful my grandma liked it daily nursing care. Seeing other people will be good for here, hopefully.
I am grateful I am in recovery.
Iām grateful to God for guiding me through a productive day, clean, sober and gamble free. Iām grateful for my recovery and its many challenges and blessings, more blessings to hopefully come again as there have been many before. Iām grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful I am safe in my bed. Iām grateful that many times today the struggle and cravings were really bad as I am attempting this detox while still at work and home surrounded by people active in their addictions, but I did not cave. Iām grateful I was able to talk politely and briefly with Michelle, pet the dog Stella and walk away, really, really hard to do though, usually in the months Iāve been here we are hanging out at these times. Iām grateful all this will pass. Iām grateful for the walk I took tonight listening to my country tunes and still have the bluetooth playing them now. Iām grateful for the beautiful full moon tonight. Iām grateful I went and sat in silent meditation and prayer on the boat dock at work this evening for at least 15 uninterupted minutes, so healing. Iām grateful the boss let me run the business for the day largely by myself and it made the eight hours go by better as I was busier that way, we have a tratcor I get to drive its pretty fun, I will get a picture of me loading or unloading the trailer of sea doos into Lake Erie tomorrow. Iām grateful for all the support and welcome backs from you all, you all matter, donāt forget K.
God bless you all. 
& 
p.s. You are totally Awesome. Ya you!!
Iām grateful for this day. Iām grateful it was hard.
The thought - not a craving - occurred to me that the bad day would go away if I got blotto-ed tonight. Iām grateful I didnāt wanna get blotto-ed. It doesnāt just make bad days go away, but makes everything good go away tooā¦ Grateful I walked off the bad day, chatted with my pal with the cabin. (Sheās trying to manually/non-chemically remove invasive plant species around her cabin - talk about hard days! Lotsa laughs we had though.)
Iām grateful thereās a new day tomorrow.
Iām grateful I have vacation coming up. Confession: it got over-peopled and over-planned and now Iām not really looking as forward to it. Grateful I can just sit with this, this wish to just stick close to home. Still repleting my energy, I think, from all the turbulence some few months back, and oh - do I need my own time and space to fill my energy stores. Was told thereād be room in a large tent for me, for part of this trip. Though Iām sure my friendās friends are great people, Iām grateful for my 1.5-man (oops, person) tent, just big enough for the dog girl and I. If I need some M-space, Iāll make my retreat.
Iām grateful for strong coffee (tomorrow morning!). For the gentle tunes playing now. For the crazy big dragonflies that visited me on my patio tonight, like small helicopters, really! For the warmth of summer here - intense and short. For bath salts that smell like the forest.
Iām grateful for another day. 
We have so many squirrels here. Im grateful for them all, except maybe scrappy. This one has an attitude
My little ole English neighbor feeds them peanuts.
They bring me much joy thats for sure. Especially my rocky. Funny how they all look so much alike but we can start telling them apart, especially by behavior! 
I will learn to be grateful for scrappy also. One of us will learn, eventually 
Grateful for some down time yesterday, for an evening of doing not much. Also grateful to be back to a busy day of running from one thing to the next. Grateful for some peace amid the storms, for the few good people that are around me. Grateful for the many mini phone call throughout the day from him in treatment, for getting to watch the recovery awakening. Its even cooler from this side. Grateful that Iām on a one way journey through recovery and that at this point going backwards is not even something that at any point looks enticing.
Grateful for a gratitude list that helps me snap out of the blahs and back into perspective. Grateful for MY room, for my bed, for my shower, for these things that Iāve earned and paid for that canāt be taken away. Grateful for stability, that Ive actually made it to the point in recovery where yeah, Iām just a tad bored. What a luxury that is to be bored! That means no cops are chasing me, no warrants are over my head, no bushes are going to be my home tonightā¦yes, Iām grateful to have gotten to a point of a little boredom. Grateful for the options this gives me! From this side of boredom I can go find things that I want to do to take away the boredom and futhur enrich my recovery. Grateful for options. Very, very, grateful that the option of relapse is not one thatās tempting me nor am I considering.
Grateful for the spiritual awakenings that have moved me away from the edge of relapse.
Grateful to wake up this morning of my 147th day clean and sober and to know that if I keep doing what Iām doing Iāll be going to bed clean and sober tonight. 
Iām grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober while doing your will just for today. Iām grateful for my recovery and yours. Iām grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the grati-dudes. Iām grateful to be in the car on the way to work. Iām grateful the sun is shining which warms the water and combined will help fill my soul tanks (shout out to Emm) Iām grateful to be looking forward to sitting on the dock again in silent prayer and meditation a at some point today. Iām grateful for the dog Stella coming over and giving me some kisses while I was waiting for my ride to work. Iām grateful for daily readings, prayers and meditation. Iām grateful for music and exercise.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Donāt forget you rock. Ya you!!
Good morning family.
I am super grateful for the therapist that I have been placed with at the hospital. I am grateful for her DBT and Trauma training and for the fact that she was just placed in this position at the ED. She seems to have a fresh view on how to approach this whole thing. I am grateful for the subtle difference in the way she worded things that changed so much in my mind. I am grateful to be open-minded today and willing to recieve new ideas, relook at old ideas and at least try to throw away ideas that are not serving me well.
I am grateful for the moderation team of this forum, the many different views and the way that people work together without selling themselves out. It is not easy to be in recovery, ( which every one of us is) learning how to live without dope and booze ( which everyone of us is) and work together to keep this forum running as smooth as possible for a bunch of other recovering addicts. I am grateful for the support that I recieve on views and for the suggestions I recieve when maybe I miss something big. I am learning a lot by listening and watching the OGās of the moderation team while I piddle around in the background doing smaller stuff. I am grateful for their experience and dedication to this forum.
I am also grateful that we have simple rules on the forum like, ādont derail threadsā, it is actually a forum rule. Threads get really difficult to follow when we have newcomers or when people just want to come read (letās use this thread as an example) and there is back-and-forth banter. This type of conversation does not belong on a thread unless itās on a specified thread for āgood morningsā, or āhow are you today?ā, we do have a check-in thread for that type of conversing already. I am grateful for private messaging and group private messaging where good mornings and back and forth banter does not plug up the flow of the forum. I am grateful for the derailment thread.
Emm, I love this
Have been on the same boat and the same note lately, often. Itās a beautiful thing to be able to find grace and gratitude in difficult situations. I hope to continue to try hard to always do that.
Wishing your cup of coffee tomorrow is full of comfort, good vibes, calmness and gentle energy.
Grateful Iām tired, at the end of a productive day. Exercise. Work, lots of it. Walking the dog. Iām feeling the āgood tiredā and grateful for it.
Grateful my hubby and kids are having a very special time together. grateful they are making the best out of a not so good situation. Love them more than anything.
Grateful Iām learning to be alone and be ok with it. Learning to appreciate solitude. Have a long way to go.
Grateful I donāt drink. Grateful I told the little voice that says āyouāre alone, you have no plans, why notā¦?ā to shut up. āBecause my life is better without alcohol in it, thatās why. now leave me alone, I have some learning and growing to do. Itās about timeā
Grateful for all of you
