How to Develop a Gratitude Practice

Gratitude is one of the simplest and most transformative tools in recovery. It’s more than just a warm feeling—it’s a shift in perception. It turns your focus from what’s missing to what’s present, from what’s wrong to what’s possible. In moments of anxiety, fear, or discouragement, gratitude creates a space of peace and perspective that grounds you in the now.
