Grateful for the sunrise and sunset.
Grateful for some creative ideas brewing in my mind....
Grateful I met another neighbor tonight and she was super nice!
Grateful the milk and butter here are 20% lower in price than my other town.
Grateful I ran into a friend at work. He said: "Did you move yet? Are you happy?"
And I said: "I am happier than I have been in a very long time."
Grateful I listened to my gut, asked for help, and initiated change in my life.

Grateful that an emotional day was not about me nor my relationships, grateful that the emotions of others came to the surface when they were in need.
Grateful that the resultant weariness will be cured by a long night's sleep instead of masked by a bottle.
Grateful that I have such a nice bed to go to.

Grateful to have hit a bit of an emotional rock-bottom today; my character defects were going off-tap last night and I was very close to a drink....but I didn't pick one up
Grateful I can use this experience as a learning tool
Grateful for the amazing meeting tonight
As always, grateful for my sponsor's guidance
Night night, gratties!

Grateful I remembered that I forgot to come on SR last night and that I'm posting this morning. I'll try to come back again tonight.
And grateful I am taking the day off for self-care and that I changed my RSVP to "no" for a difficult hike tomorrow. I need to rest a bit and I'm glad that I can realize that today and take a break.

Grateful Rusty can have groupies now!! Thats fab, Rusty!
Grateful I made it home safely in the rain.
Grateful when my sister just asked if she can come visit Saturday, I waited to react cause my first reaction was oh no! Then I stopped and thought about all she has done for me to get me where I am today and I said Yes of course you can.
Grateful my world is expanding and I am learning to be open.

Grateful for the first fire in the fireplace for this season.
And grateful I kept stopping myself from doing "busy-ness" after I said this morning I was taking the day off. I still did a lot of stuff, but I also stopped and DIDN'T do some things I knew could wait. Glad I'm getting better at taking it easy.

Grateful to work through my insecurities and fears at work, one day at a time.
Grateful that I'm putting my recovery first and not falling into my mother's and siblings trap into making me a scapegoat when I'm a nice sober person who has done nothing wrong to them.
I don't have time for their nonsense and games. I've come such a long way after 21 years sobriety. Its almost like they want me to drink or have a fall so they can feel superior. They need a scapegoat but won't get one in me.
Grateful for the reminder in the BB that says our sobriety is dependent on God and not other people.

Like EQ grateful Rusty can now have groupies, they can line up behind the SR groupies.
Grateful the first scorcher of the season is over and cooler weather is on the way.
Grateful to get through a super hot day so much better than I have in years.
Grateful that even though I didn't do my best at work today, I can tomorrow.
