Gratitude in Sobriety: Lessons from JJ Chance's Journey

Gratitude takes work. If I don't take five minutes of my day and mentally list the good, decent, positive things that I've got in my life, I'll forget where I am.
What role does gratitude play in the journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting', host JJ Chance dives into the powerful impact of gratitude on addiction recovery. As someone who's walked the rocky path of alcoholism, JJ shares personal reflections on how maintaining a grateful mindset can prevent a dangerous slide back into old habits.
With candid honesty, JJ discusses the pitfalls of complacency and how it can sneak up on you when things seem to be going well. He emphasizes the importance of support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Smart Recovery, offering practical advice on staying vigilant and connected. Through relatable anecdotes and heartfelt advice, JJ encourages listeners to spend just five minutes a day focusing on the positives in their lives.
This simple practice, he believes, can ward off feelings of restlessness and discontent that often lead to relapse. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of wisdom, encouragement, and a touch of humor to help you navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories of sobriety.
