Hi Painless - I have been trying to focus on gratitude too. I remember when I got sober last time I had to make being grateful a very regular mental list that I regularly considered. I am starting to do this again now. I do remember also how much I loved that I appreciated the simple things in life e.g. the autumnal colours of the trees or my dog really excited when I walked him. When I am stuck in active alcohol addiction I tend to be so much more tunnel vision. Have a great day.
