Craig emphasizes that practicing vigilance isn't just about avoiding relapse; it's about maintaining a positive attitude and being honest with oneself and others.

Craig shares a quote from the Hazel Dean Foundation that underscores the necessity of saying thank you to God every day.

Gratitude, he explains, helps shift focus from the negatives to the positives in life, fostering humility and a deeper connection to a higher power. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers valuable insights into staying vigilant, practicing the AA program, and cultivating daily gratitude.
