Don't force it. It doesnt have to be earthmoving. And don't make it random nonsensical dumb büllshit just for the sake of adding stuff to a "gratitude" list. Just be aware and when things become obvious, there ya go. "Gratitude" and being thankful are two different things. Be thankful for sunshine. Gratitude is something you show. If you put someone on your gratitude list, show them gratitude in deed, do something for them. If it's gratitude for AA, do something helpful at a meeting. If you're grateful for having food to eat, go volunteer at a soup kitchen or take another addict in recovery out to lunch. You don't have to pound out a gratitude list every day. Keep it simple but meaningful to you. You're grateful to be alive. Cool. Show that gratitude in some ways at. What does that mean to be alive, to YOU? Are you alive because you're not drinking? Then help another drunk out. That's showing gratitude. Once you have skin in the game, it actually means something to you. It's like when you earn a paycheck, you appreciate the work you put in.
