We need to keep it simple.....literally......for example:
I am grateful for another sober day
I am grateful to have food in my fridge
I am grateful to be able to go to work without a hangover
I am grateful that I feel better every day
I am grateful that I have a boat, and even though I have to sell (maybe), I have wonderful memories of all of the time my family spent together on her. (maybe
).
Honestly, I used to do things like:
Grateful to be sober
Grateful for my beautiful Venus
Grateful for SR
Grateful to be alive
Grateful to enjoy the smell of coffee again.
I do believe it does change your mindset.....I used to wake up every day feeling so sad and ashamed and fearful when I was drinking, and now that I started that habit in sobriety, it has become automatic....every morning I do this in my head. And I am very very grateful.
Grateful for my sobriety and SR, and all of you.

Grateful for my beautiful husband.
Grateful for my gorgeous house and garden (well it's gorgeous to me
).
Grateful to have made a firm decision career-wise and to have taken action.
Grateful for love and friendship.
I always do 5....no idea why.
