In this week’s episode, we dive into a special gratitude exercise created by Brady D. and our cohost Francis — an idea born from a late-night conversation at the Out of the Darkness Into the Light convention in Decatur, Alabama earlier this year. Just a group of addicts sitting around, kicking around ideas for the podcast, when the concept of a structured gratitude practice came to life.

What started as a simple conversation turned into a one-month gratitude exercise, broken down into four weeks with specific goals and objectives. Several members took part in the exercise, both personally and through our Facebook page. In this two-part series, we’ll be sharing a few of their experiences and reflections.

We hope you enjoy the journey — and maybe even feel inspired to try the exercise yourself.
