info_outlineIn the United States, on the 4th Thursday of November, we have a national holiday called Thanksgiving. It’s a time that we take the opportunity to gather with friends and family and celebrate the things we are thankful for. So this episode is also set aside to talk about the things that we are thankful for.
We also want to acknowledge that this can be the most difficult time of year for us alcoholics and al-anons. So we'd like to practice our program with one of our basic recovery tools, the gratitude list.
To kick off the show, let’s take a look at what our listeners are grateful for. We asked the question, “What difficulties can you be grateful for?
SURVEY SAYS
What thoughts do you have about being able to look at past difficulties as blessings in disguise?
We have some audio from our listeners on this topic of gratitude.
