Grateful to have had a great dinner with a new friend. Two hours talking about our lives, really getting to know each other better, and me not rushing and impatient to get home to drink in peace. Such a wonderful feeling - like things used to be. Truly appreciating friends is one of the best parts of sobriety!

Grateful for the 5 posts above mine, I've heard a few great messages and it's only 8:00 AM

I'm grateful that I've held on to the keys for the Club for 5 years, and I can still suit up, show up, and empty the trash every few days. And I ain't too proud to clean the ash cans either!

Lilya

Grateful for a calm and peaceful day.

Grateful to get the occation to do work on Viktor Frankl´s work.

* By creating a work or doing a deed
* By experiencing something or encountering someone

very grateful for Sober Day 9 and for being tired for the 2nd day in a row, which means i will sleep....grateful for winding down and a quiet evening before a stressful day tomorrow...filled with snowstorms, annoying dryer inspections and someone sticking their fat head up my fireplace for 2 seconds and charging me $65.00 to sign a piece of paper.....grateful I can deal with it graciously...(almost).

most of all I am grateful to be looking forward to the new days ahead.

Good morning everyone! Grateful for SR as a place to help me stay focused and a place of comfort. And grateful for a new day!

Astro

A relationship can be merely contact and a few words exchanged with another person. I'm grateful for new relationships almost every day.

Lilya

Thanks for reminding me, Astro. I meet new people every day, but I tend to hurry to work, hurry to my workout, hurry to school and so on...

I´m grateful I smiled to everybody I met today and had nice conversation with the people at the market. I will remember that tomorrow as well.

Fandy

grateful to have made it through day 10...and it didn't even OCCUR to me to stop at the liquor store...That is a first! and i'm grateful for forming new habits....like a calmer demeanor and patience....this might be the beginning of more peace for me? Looking forward to another good night's sleep and tomorrow.

I think your outlook is good! I'm certainly getting more peace these days.

Grateful that I stopped standing around in my living room, virtually wringing my hands over what I "should" be doing, and decided to just pause and do a brief meditation/breathing practice from a CD instead. It REALLY helped. I was about to fly into a panic otherwise.

And grateful that even though I did not do several of the things I thought I "should" do (There's that word again!), and felt like I was having trouble accomplishing anything, I actually did get quite a few things done. And I'm glad I can give myself credit for that rather than continually beating myself up.

Good "Friday Eve," all!!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful someone put me in my place more or less to send me back here! Have been to involved in other things that are just not as important!

Bedtime buddies!
