Gratitude

Gratitude is powerful. It's fair to say that most of us never knew gratitude when we were out runnin' and gunnin'. At least not long enough to recognize how valuable it really is. But how can we maintain that attitude? Or find reasons to be grateful when bad things happen?

On this episode, Cameron and Willy dove into the ever-so-popular topic of gratitude, a topic often discussed in the rooms of many 12 step meetings. Why is that? Because gratitude has the power to pull you out of the stinkin' thinkin' that keeps us sick. It can literally take us from the depths of despair to a higher frequency in line with strength and hope. Gratitude is worth talking about.

Today's warstory is a special one. Cindy, a compulsive overeater and long time fan of the show, shares her story of food addiction and the joy of being relieved of the obsession after spending time doing the work. From growing up in the South as a caretaker, food was often used to comfort. After years of overeating, it started taking a physical toll on her healthy and wellness. Now, she is committed to a new and healthy lifestyle that has her sharing her message with newcomers. Her story is another reminder of just how the disease can manifest itself in different ways and how food can be just as destructive as any other mind altering substance.
