I’m grateful for
Waking up with a clear mind
Friends that are just as smart assy and loyal as me
My brave and loving husband
Cats to lounge around with
Lunch with my dear friend
The ocean breeze coming in through my living room
The encouragement I find in others on this forum to keep going💚

waking up sober - I did wake up at 4am but went RIGHT back to sleep, something that was nigh impossible when drinking.

For a great night of sleep!
Mostly, I’m grateful to have my husband home today after working a 48hr shift even though he’s sleeping! 
Back on the fire truck for him tomorrow.

I’m grateful to just have to walk across the street from my house to get to the beach. Some days it’s hard to get myself out of the house to even do that.
I’m grateful for the dolphins I got to see jumping around the waves this morning.

Happiness creeping back in
Work day is almost over

I’m starting my own gratitude journal but this is also a good place to start.
I’m grateful for:
-The health of my kids. I know someone whose son is very sick with cancer. It also makes me feel incredibly selfish knowing I purposely was poisoning myself with alcohol for so long, while he is being poisoned with chemo and radiation.
- The position I have worked hard to get to in my company. Not having a college degree I never thought I would.
- My mom, sisters and brother. We all went thru a lot together since I was a kid but we all stuck by eachother.

I am grateful that I will be sober for my son’s senior year. Also that I will be in good shape for his graduation in the spring. A few months ago I was’nt too sure about that.

I like posting instead, I’m really bad at journaling everyday…just writing in general actually. I’m like I’d rather just type it up, so much faster! Haha

Thanks. Probably the most devastating news you could ever get. Tough times. She’s the strongest little peanut I have ever met…and she deserves to have her “whole mommy” around for a very looooong time!

I hydroplaned yesterday and thought I was going to crash. So today I’m grateful for my sobriety and that I’m safe and sound. Have a great day everyone!!! 
Been struggling, and today was a doozy. Wrote a lengthy rant and deleted it. Pulling focus from the bad and giving it to the good seems more productive. Found this old thread.
Today I am grateful for my health, my husband and his health, my house and the beauty that surrounds it, and Drag Race UK which I am clinging to for dear life to help calm the internal shit storm.

I am grateful for my son. And my health. I see so much illness & sadness in my work, so it makes me thankful to be well. I’m also thankful for this site and the amazing folks I’m meeting here.
Another side note: I have been very sad that I have no videos or voice recordings etc of my mum. I lost her to pancreatic cancer a few years ago. A coworker asked for a recipe I had and I was searching a keyword in my inbox. A thread of emails came up from mum, back when she was first diagnosed. They brought lots of emotions, tears, etc but I realized how lucky I was to at least have those typed words of hers
