Dallas Bragg and Speaker A discuss how gratitude reshapes outlook during recovery. Bragg survived crystal meth addiction and uses that survival to face any difficulty as manageable. They emphasize noting what you now have that was once lacking—a place to sleep, transportation, money—to build perspective and resilience.
And, and whenever you start thinking about what you don't have or what's not going well for you, that's when you're gonna use. But you have to then go, but I used to not even have a place to sleep and now I do. Or I used to not have a way to even get around. I didn't have any money, but now I do. So you just really have to start keeping up with all the things that you have that you didn't have before. And that helps that perspective.
That's right. That's right. Yeah, exactly right. Anywhere I worked after in recovery, You know, people would be bitching about their job or their boss, and I'd be like, who gives a fuck? I, you know, I overcame crystal meth, right? Just throw whatever you want at me, 'cause it ain't gonna be anything like what I've done, right? And I think that's such a strong affirmation. You know, if I can stop crystal meth, I can do that. I can handle that.
