Thanks Opi :)

Today I am grateful for tea!

EQ, I believe "trice" means three times, like twice means two times.

Grateful for Well of Mercy. A brief quiet retreat is just what I need.

And grateful for meeting a new neighbor here at The Well, 45 minutes from our homes, especially since she works for Cancer Services and really understood my stories about what I just went through with my dad. Mysterious ways, I tell you!

Love and hugs,
Eddie :tyou

I'm so very, very grateful that I'm now home from a two week holiday and I am still alcohol free. It's the first sober holiday I can remember (as an adult), and I really thought it would be a challenging time, but it's over, and I have 5 months of freedom under my belt. It's amazing to me!

HeadLump 09-20-2014 02:55 PM

Grateful that Free had a successful sober holiday! :bigok:

Grateful that I went to work today even though I was up coughing for most of the night

Grateful that my little football team have had 2 away wins in 5 days - after suffering their worst start to a football season for 31 years! :yikes:

HeadLump 09-20-2014 02:59 PM

And grateful for the sound of owls outside! They're very loud indeed tonight :)

Alysheba 09-20-2014 03:41 PM

Grateful I got to spend some time with my nephew and his friend on the way to his football game. Grateful for the warm feelings and the hilarious sense of humor in these young teenagers.

Grateful for my faith.

I am SO happy for you!

Grateful I got to spend a lot of time outside today tending to flowers and just relaxing. Grateful my dog got to stay outside a lot today too, because the weather was so cool and I was home. That hasn't happened in a long time for him.

Grateful to catch my own self judgements in my head.... sometimes. Grateful when I started feeling depressed this afternoon, I suddenly realized what I had been thinking that would certainly depress me. I hadn't been aware of it, and suddenly, I was. It was so obvious. I made the connection. Grateful I refocused my mind and changed my activity.

Grateful that is only possible through sobriety.

Grateful for my mind boss, who gave me a ride to the meeting, and is an all around joyful, inspiring person.
Grateful for another sober day.
Grateful for two people at b the meeting who told me how good I was looking compared to 4 months ago.

Marjoram 09-20-2014 06:37 PM

Grateful to go to bed at the end of another sober day, and it's the 21st day.

Rusty Zipper 09-20-2014 07:31 PM

grateful the lady we played at a benefit tonight shared the poem

"God puts people in our lives for reasons"

eddie z. 09-21-2014 05:28 PM

Grateful for a beautiful last day of summer and a walk outside in it.

And grateful for the fried breadfruit with spicy chutney I made today and shared with the ex and my bro. Actually, the chutney largely came from the kirtan I went to last night, but I extended it and added some stuff. Those Hare Krishna folks bring the best food for those events....mmmmm...

Grateful some days are just not the best and to let them go.

Grateful to be in my house one year now.

Grateful not to drink.

uncle holmes 09-21-2014 07:04 PM

Grateful for a fulfilling weekend with my wife in Chicago to see our son play in his college football game and to spend some time with him after the game by all three of us going out to dinner.

Grateful my son seems comfortable in his own skin while away at college, which puts me more at ease.

Grateful my wife and I spent the night in a hotel together with just the two of us without any kids sleeping in the room for the first time since before we had kids.

Grateful to see all the exciting varieties of skies in this changing of the season: First a beautiful blue sky with many plump clouds bursting in between the blueness.

Then all of a sudden getting overcast and not seeing any blue in the sky.

Then bursting out into a slightly windy sprinkle to moderate rain followed by peaks of sunshine.

Grateful I love to experience life and these different weather patterns and loving nature for what it is all while being sober.

Soberpotamus 09-21-2014 07:08 PM

Grateful for a fun, relaxing weekend at home.

Grateful for some new insight into old patterns.
