WEAPONIZED SELF-TALK
Trigger: "I'm clean now. I'm supposed to be grateful every second. If I'm not, something is wrong with me."
Rewrite: "I can be grateful I'm alive and still be tired, bored, or sad standing at the sink. Both are true. Neither one cancels my recovery."
The Move: Today, say one honest, not-grateful thing out loud to someone safe. "This part is hard." Then let them not fix it.
Gratitude is real. Gratitude you have to perform is just another mask. You took enough of those off already.
Progress is progress. Mile or a Millimeter.
