#145 - How Does Gratitude Help When We Hit Rock Bottom? (Lauren Blanchard Zalewski)

<p>After being diagnosed with a chronic illness, Lauren took care of everyone else – except herself. After a while, she started using alcohol to deal with the pain and that quickly got out of control. When she hit rock bottom, she found a deep sense of gratitude that her actions had not fatally injured herself or others. She persevered and founded the Facebook group “Attitude of Gratitude with Chronic Pain” and hosts the weekly live broadcast, “Gratefully Living the Chronic Life.”  Lauren is a writer, speaker, passionate champion of all things gratitude, and is a self-diagnosed Gratitude Addict.</p> <p>https://www.gratitudeaddict.com/</p> <p>Free Gratitude Meditation download: <a href= "http://bit.ly/GratitudeLoveLetter">http://bit.ly/GratitudeLoveLetter</a></p> <p>Visit my shop: <a href= "https://wakeupwithgratitude.com/">https://wakeupwithgratitude.com/</a></p> <p>Check out the podcast: <a href= "https://www.podpage.com/wake-up-with-gratitude/">https://www.podpage.com/wake-up-with-gratitude/</a></p> <p>Post-production Audio by Paul Tedeschini</p> <p><a href= "https://campsite.bio/juliecmboyer">https://campsite.bio/juliecmboyer</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@wakeupwithgratitude">https://www.tiktok.com/@wakeupwithgratitude</a></p> <p> </p>
