What does it really mean to be a grateful alcoholic? In this week’s episode, I reflect on six years of sobriety, how I went from resisting the label to fully embracing it, and why gratitude has been the foundation of my recovery. 

Through personal stories, journaling reflections, and lessons from AA, I share how choosing gratitude—even in the hardest moments—has kept me grounded, resilient, and deeply connected to my purpose.

We’ll explore how shifting your perspective can turn challenges into growth, why gratitude is a practice (not just a feeling), and how embracing joy can transform your journey—whether you're sober-curious or years into recovery.
