So much of my sobriety is rooted in gratitude. Not inauthentic gratitude that feels forced, but the true deeply rooted gratitude I feel as I’m present for each beautiful everyday moment of life. With each passing year I find that my well of gratitude deepens. And the women I’ve interviewed who’ve been sober for 10, 15, 20 years? They’ve confirmed it - your gratitude in sobriety will only continue to grow. It does not max out. 

So if you’re in early sobriety and you’re not feeling the gratitude yet? Keep going. You have taken a brave leap of faith, and it is going to get better, and better, and better.
