Today I'm grateful for figuring out the difference between saying something true that I believe and saying something that I think will make someone else feel good.

This is a hard one for me. I rarely find gratitude interesting or necessary; I am kind of addicted to drama and negativity and I need to change if I want to stay sober and lead a good life.

Small steps: I am grateful that I realize and can finally admit that I am addicted to negativity and drama. I am also grateful that I realize I am afraid of happiness and small talk.

Oh, and one more thing. I mean this from the bottom of my heart: I am very grateful for the people on this site.

I guess that wasn't too hard

Welcome Pouncer! Gratitude is just attitude.

I'm grateful for family coming to visit today. And NO, I will not drink with them.

Okay, trying again. This kind of feels like I am in a happy cult, but I need an attitude change

Today I am grateful for good coffee.

I am grateful to have read this post.

Today I am keeping it very simple.
I am grateful for peanut butter, ice cream & choices. Also, being OK with the fact that life is not going my way but knowing it's all gonna be OK.

Hand in hand my sweet friend, Kris.

You came out stronger on the other end of tonight. We must always stay grateful for trying times as they make us who we are and strengthen our sobriety. Skies the limit friend. We grow together. Do not stray!! Hugs xoxox

Today I am grateful that my VPN worked so I could watch BBC's coverage of Richard III's reinterment. A little thing, but waiting for the live coverage kept me from thinking about booze.
