A lot of people out there feel they don’t have anything to be grateful for.  Especially those who are living a very difficult life and are struggling and so on.  But in reality, there is always something you can be grateful for, and most of us don’t think about being grateful as we just go on with our daily routine.  So, this episode is a way for you to hopefully find something in your life to be grateful for because no matter what, things are there and it’s about changing your view and perspective on it and maybe adding it into your daily routine.Dry February Challenge - Canadian Cancer Societyhttps://www.dryfeb.ca/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=dryfeb2023&utm_content=CCS-search-EN&ccs_id=39184&ccs_campaign=dryfeb2023&gclid=CjwKCAiArNOeBhAHEiwAze_nKJtMzvikjG7KWSrxqZ_2Ovcnb3jac35GxBgrqiuvgyjVPnM0CORP1RoCjNoQAvD_BwEFollow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/andthatsmy2cents/#Gratitude30 Centennial HealthThe Complete Guide to Everyday HappinessHow to Thrive and Live Your Best Life Today3/28/22Disclaimer: Information in the Complete Guide to Everyday Happiness is provided for awareness, education and general information.

Have you heard of harm reduction? Do you know what it is? If you do, or if you don't, you will want to listen to this eposide.  I will try my best to explain it and will link you to some information on harm reduction as well as on what a managed alcohol program (MAP) is as it's one program that falls under the harm reduction umbrella and is controversial.  Important to mention, the intention of MAP is not to replace abstinence based programs, as that does work for some, but as another option for those who may have tried that and it didn't work.  Bottom line is, harm reduction saves lives!
