A-Z of Addiction Recovery - G is for GRATITUDE

Gratitude

Recovery from alcohol and drug addiction is a gift that many recovering people are grateful for. Being grateful means appreciating what we have; it acknowledges the blessings all around us every day. This "attitude of gratitude" keeps us humble, teachable, and open to receive more good in our lives. It's hard to see the good when addiction has taken over a person's life, but with help, recovery is possible, and gratitude is one of the keys to a loving heart and a peaceful mind.
