Hey least, i see that you mention the word gratitude in the majority of your postings, and i am not quite sure i understand what it is that your talking about. I totally agree that being grateful for what you have can help in mental stability, but in staying sober it seems like it everything for you? Can you explain how gratitude made such a huge impact in your sobriety? I mean when i was drinking myself to death, i was still grateful for many things in life. Gratitude was never a Main factor in my decision to stop the madness. I am just trying to figure out the logic behind the term to have such a huge impact.
