I am so grateful to have found SR! That's a biggie but, too, for the beautiful day with nothing more pressing to do than washing my hair and grateful I can see that if I don't get that done that's no biggie.

Today I am grateful for having everything I need, not everything I want.

Today I am grateful for the SR posts that I just read who give me a new, sober outlook for today. Thank You! Thank You! I was just having a pity party and I feel much better now.

Today I am grateful to be living a Sober life. Left to my own devices and without a Program I would be nuts, and possibly drunk!

Today I am grateful that I have learned I can start the day over again if needed!!

Today I am grateful that I got a good nites sleep last night: No dry mouth at 2 am, no pounding head a 3 AM, and no more having to drink half a bottle of wine at 6am to get me going for the next day

Today I am grateful that my liver enzymes were elevated as it made me want to change my life and never drink again. I am honestly grateful for that because if not I might be drinking right now.

Today I am grateful to be sober again after relapsing last year. Grateful for the joy I feel now that I am not drinking. Grateful for my family and friends. Grateful for my health. Grateful that I can be here for my mom now as she battles cancer.

Grateful to read everyone's posts here. Thank you for sharing your gratitude.
Grateful for a yoga class today where I was the only student. Great, informal vibe and just practicing together. It was a great class and just the class I needed.

For an AA Big Book study group. So grateful 12 Step meetings are a part of my life now a days. There were only four of us in the meeting, which means I have the opportunity to share a lot.

Grateful for soberrecovery.com and to have found my way hear last March.

Herbal tea. Hand cream. Dark chocolate. Fresh fruit. A comfortable chair. Relaxing music. Interesting reading material. A day off! How much better my brain works sober. How much more positive I am 90% of the time.

Happy Sunday everybody, thanks for reading!

Grateful for the enjoyment of watching the Super Bowl and fantastic commercials yesterday! If I had been drinking I would not have been focusing, just planning my next refill and being disruptive.

Grateful for being able to meet the challenges of Sobriety and not the disasters of the drinking days.

Grateful to be able to hold my head high as a Sober Member in Recovery. Grateful to know the other Members and hear and read their messages of Recovery.
