Grateful to have gone camping again this weekend.
Grateful the girlfriend was able to stay for 5 weeks, though she headed home today to take care of her house and garden. The company was nice! Sadly, she took the cat, too.
Grateful for work and sobriety.
Grateful my older brother has been sober for close to 50 days now. A tough time to choose sobriety - I admire anyone in their early days during this shutdown.
Grateful for the grat pack!

Grateful to be sober.
Grateful for SR and the Grat Pack.
Grateful for pictures of cute puppies - my mom’s friend is fostering two gorgeous little pups and the photos brighten up my day.
I hope everyone is taking care, sending light to those who need it

Grateful FBL started with day 1 and kept going.
Grateful Deserto’s brother is not unlike him in pluck and chose this time to stay on the sober path!
Grateful that although last night ended with my daughter wracked with anxiety and crying and telling me I don’t care about her because I wouldn’t stay up late to help her with school work, she came in around midnight after waking up to tell me “Thank you for caring about me”, that she was happy, and that she wanted to tell me that because she knew I’d be gone in the morning. I think she was more than half asleep but I’ll take it!
Grateful that for my son’s special time with me he wanted to give the big cat a bath, which was kind of gross and definitely not the cat’s favorite, but felt like we were getting something done as well as making him happy. The kids even worked together on it.
Grateful crisis schooling only goes on for another month or so. It is really difficult to handle while working a more than full time job.
Grateful to get some stuff out of the way today.
Grateful the weekend looks to be pretty beautiful and maybe we can do another backyard campout.
Grateful for this place.

Grateful my older son took care of the dogs without a fuss.
Grateful for the extra sleep I'm getting lately.
Grateful that the sun is out.
Grateful to reconnect with friends and family daily.
Grateful that I was able to order some masks yesterday.

Grateful for the class of April 2020, I've been reading over there lately to combat the isolation AV.
Grateful to be sober today (just "turned" 2 years and 4 months a few days ago!)

Grateful for Fbls long term sobriety
Grateful for Sunp’s husbands sobriety
Grateful for Deserto’s brothers sobriety. I agree, Deserto. Newly sober during a pandemic crisis has got to be hard. I think it’s hard in general no matter how long you’ve been sober. I hear alcohol sales are up by 55%. We have to stay strong!
Anaya, sorry to hear about being furloughed. I hope it doesn’t last long
Numblady, I hear you on the full time working and parenting our kids as they do distance learning. I only have one but sometimes he feels like two or three. Also, this crisis is affecting everyone’s job differently. Mine has been crazy busy.
Grateful for Palmer Sage mention of masks since they are mandatory here effective today. Grateful I have some cute looking face coverings and masks if I run out for my Peet’s coffee or to store
Grateful to check in with you all.
Grateful that in a time of challenge personally and professionally, I am staying tough and learning so much
Grateful for options and solutions. Grateful to also remember that sometimes the solution is to change expectations
Grateful to figure out a new plan to help with my Dads doctor appointments and telehealth and to have a great supportive doctor team
Grateful for such a nice lady with my Dads mortgage lender who was so interested in listening to my story
Grateful sonny boy has plenty to do even after school
Grateful that someday this too shall pass
Grateful for each of you

Grateful that even though I couldn't sleep last night and have been struggling this morning, I was able to get some shopping done. Not as much or the store I was going to go to. Grateful my mom and Luke came along with me for the ride and to be honest, a little support for me. For some reason shopping is really hard for me, not that there is all that much in the stores, but it has always been something that causes a lot of anxiety for me. Weird.
Grateful to be taking Luke out shortly for a walk on a beautiful day.
Grateful for Rusty's treatment today. Prayers that all goes well and you feel better. ♥
FBL, you are an inspiration.♥
Grateful for all of you so much. Thinking of Daisy and hoping all is well. ♥
Love peace and health.

Aly, I'm so sorry you are struggling, feeling anxious and not sleeping well. Thinking of you lots and I hope you have a better night. I miss you all. Having issues with the site when feeling like I really need it. Not feeling like I want to drink. Just feeling disconnected.
