Grateful for you Artsoul and THAT post!! I've copied it. I agree with the gratitude prescription to sobriety. Talk with Rusty Zipper. He's constantly preaching the benefits of being grateful. He also says, "A grateful drunk will not drink." Definitely agree with that sentiment. If you are grateful for what you have and where you are then there is no reason to punish yourself. Resentment and self pity equals self inflicted punishment in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.
