This is a program of honesty. My sponsor told me that when we first met, and it’s always stuck with me. We live in our addiction in a life of lies; lies to ourselves, and to others. In our sobriety, we should strive for rigorous honesty if we want to live happy, sober, fulfilling lives.

The grateful addict never picks up! As long as I can maintain focus on what's going right, the bad doesn't seem so bad. Our addict mentality takes these things and blows them out of proportion sending us into a spiral of self pity. When I'm in gratitude, I can get through anything.
