Attitude of Gratitude

Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude

Elizabeth explores the value and power of cultivating an attitude of gratitude as a cornerstone of recovery from addiction.

  • One of the first and most important things I learned early on
  • It’s a baby step in the right direct – it’s a decision, it supports a turning point.
  • It becomes a daily practice

Addiction, among other things is a form of “Soul Sickness” and spiritual practice opens us up to a spiritual experience that can help us heal.

Gratitude is the most sincere form of prayer and teaches us to:

Look for the Gift – Look for the Good – Look for the “God” in everything

and it teaches us to ask better questions

What’s good about this?

What could be good about this?

Where is the gift in this?
