In this episode of the Sober Buddy Podcast, hosts Megan and Brad discuss the theme of gratitude in sobriety, particularly in the context of the upcoming holiday season. They share personal experiences and insights illustrating how gratitude can improve mood and mental health. They talk about the challenges and struggles faced during the holidays - dealing with invitations to events, coping with sobriety in the face of temptations, and dealing with loneliness and personal issues. Furthermore, they share different tools and practices that people employ to cultivate gratitude such as keeping a gratitude box or board. They finally suggest staying home or reaching out to support groups to protect your sobriety and mental health during challenging times, particularly for those starting in their sobriety journey.
