The Role of Gratitude in Recovery: How to Find Joy in Small Moments

Sobriety isn’t just about quitting alcohol—it’s about learning to slow down, feel deeply, and appreciate life as it unfolds. Gratitude is one of the most powerful mindset tools in recovery. It helps shift your focus from what’s missing to what’s meaningful—and from surviving to truly living.

In this episode of the Quit Drinking Alcohol Podcast, we explore how practicing gratitude can enhance emotional resilience, reduce stress, and deepen your connection to the present moment. You’ll learn how to cultivate a daily gratitude habit and why noticing the little things can make a big impact on your overall sense of peace and purpose.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why gratitude is such a powerful tool in recovery.
• How to start a simple gratitude practice that sticks.
• How gratitude rewires your brain and strengthens emotional well-being.

I’ll also share what this practice has looked like in my own journey—and how it helped me find joy in places I used to overlook.
