Gratitude...Why?

There will be moments in your life when gratitude seems like the last & worst option…when practicing gratitude makes such little sense in your head. We know the research that shows us all the positive impacts that gratitude has in our lives—and yet, sometimes it still feels far off. Early in my recovery I’d hear others in sobriety talk about being grateful…it didn’t make sense. I thought those people were fake, inauthentic, and in denial of reality. I see things differently now. Something shifts when you are able to start with what you do have, rather than all the things you don’t have.
