Grateful RZ getting taken care of.Â

Grateful this terrible headache is not from drinking.Â

Grateful that when my daughter woke me up at 3 a.m. I had the presence of mind to talk myself through which mom I wanted to be: the mom of my lizard brain who wanted to just tell her her to go back to bed and stop fussing with stuff on her walls (it was making noise from the fan blowing on her) because she was panicking about all the stuff she woulnd’t get done, or the mom who was nice and laid down for a while and tried to bring comfort.Â

Grateful my standing date with my son went well. We called my dad and my son talked about all kinds of different stuff in Minecraft. For like half an hour with the elder this and the lapis laxuli this.Â

Grateful to be here.Â

Grateful for all your uplifting posts this morning

Grateful erratic is here with us. I’m so sorry about the loss of your dog!

Grateful for Jerry Stiller. Loved him!

Grateful to have watched forest Gump last night with family. Love love that movie and Tom HanksÂ
Grateful to have taken sonny boy to Target yesterday so he could spend some of his saved fun money on a ginormous LEGO setÂ

Grateful to set a new 30 day challenge - no more than 1 cup of coffee a day. It’s adding to my anxiety.Â

Grateful to stay in a routine as much as possibleÂ
Grateful it looks like Mr F and I are both safe as far as keeping our jobs for now. The pandemic emergency regulations in our industry are creating more work.Â

Grateful my Dad is moving to 24 hour care today if all goes well. Grateful for all the support around him since I can’t be there.Â

Grateful to remain flexible and strong.Â

Grateful this too shall passÂ

Grateful for all of you!Â

Grateful to finally get here, even though it's waaay past morning.
Erratic - Grateful for your Day One. Proud of you.
Numb - Grateful you opted to be the nice, comforting mom. Otherwise it comes back to haunt us later.
Grateful Mr & MrsFearless will have their jobs.
Grateful for RZ - always.

Like NCJan, I’m Grateful for our SR Family :

Grateful Hev has a dishwasher. I know it’s for the way they sterilise-clean the dishes and not for  convenience.

Grateful for Erratic’s day one.Â


Grateful for all of you.


Grateful for Sobriety.Â

Grateful to be up this morning sober, present and alert.

Grateful that my middle of the night reminiscents about all the awful things I did when I was drinking are things that happened in the past and the past has gone. I'm beating myself up a lot lately for some reason and I need to stop.

Grateful to know that today's a new day and another chance to get it right.

Grateful for all my haves.

Grateful for morning tea, followed me a morning coffee.

Grateful and lucky to be well.

Grateful for P.S's reminder that you can 'snooze' people for 30 days on F.B, lol.

Grateful to read about Fearless's 30 day coffee challenge, I think I need to do that.

Grateful that Hevyn's packing is almost done and also that she has a dishwasher and garbage disposal. Very posh indeed.

Grateful to read all your posts and sorry that I don't have time to reply to them, I'm running late now.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers Rusty. Take good care of yourself.


Keep safe Gratters. xxx

Grateful for you, the grat pack, my SR classmates and the admins

Grateful Aly is getting things done and that her attitude has uplifted.
Grateful RZ is maintaining spiritual connection.
Grateful Hev is enjoying her new garbage disposal and dishwasher. I hear you on the healthy eating, sister..this pandemic has kicked my butt and the scales are proving it.
Grateful for Austerities post.
Grateful for you, too, Mags!
Grateful Daisy is enjoying her morning teas and coffees. I'm sorry that your mind is running you through the lowlights reel, I have been doing that myself quite a bit lately. It's important to remind yourself of who you are now and who you are working every day to become. You are a wonderful, supportive, kind soul.
Grateful Erratic is with us on Day 1. You can do this, friend. I'm sorry that you are suffering the loss of your dogs.
Grateful FBL got to enjoy a Zoom catch up with old buddies.
Grateful PS is doing awesome and has lost 3lbs - well done! Grateful also to hear that your sons are happy and well.
Take care, all

Grateful Daisy is hopefully not spending more time or mental energy dwelling on the past. Grateful NC reminded her of the amazing, positive person she is right now. I appreciate Daisy so much every day! And I have no doubt all the family she is helping and loving feel the same.

Grateful to be working out in a bit. Our schedule is so off kilter and sometimes I think I’m going to do a workout with the kids but they are kind of lame workout partners, tbh. . Last night I did a kids youtube video with my son. He complained the entire time. Maybe that burns extra calories?

Grateful RZ’s spiritual connection is intact.

Grateful for the rain we got yesterday. Gobs of it.Â

Grateful for the sleep I got last night. 8 solid hours. Precious and beautiful.Â

Grateful to be here with all of you.Â

Grateful to be here and read all your grats! Â It means so much to me and helps me so much. I love you all!

Daisy, I hope you won’t beat yourself up for the past. You bring so much positive energy to this little computer family and forum. I have been doing the same lately. It’s been rough.Â

Grateful to hear back from my therapist. She’s just been really busy but working on getting a virtual session set up soon.Â

Grateful sonny boy sent me a most adorable YouTube video to express his feelings to me. It shows a teen boy dancing and singing to his mom telling her how cool she is and that he will love her for eternity. It is so darn funny and cute!Â

Grateful for another day to work on being the best version of myselfÂ

Grateful for each of you.Â
