Hello everyone, it's John here. Just letting you know that I have written a book. It's called Thirst,

12 drinks that changed my life, and it's out now. In many episodes of How Do You Cope,

you'll have heard me talk about my relationship with alcohol, and in writing Thirst, I wanted to

explore what alcohol means. Why did it mean more to me than other people? Why did it mean some

things felt better, and why did it mean so many

things went wrong? I also talk about lots of other things you'll have heard me and my guests

discuss on how do you cope. Meditation, physical pain, gratitude, trauma and therapy. There's even

a chapter about my bum and its relationship with Buddhism. So if that piques your interest,

thirst is out now,

and the audiobook, read by me, is available wherever you get audiobooks from.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Gratitude List, and before we start, just a quick flag

that this episode contains discussions of suicide. For support on this topic, see the links in the show notes.

I'm delighted to say that Jason Fox still with us here on How Do You Cope for the Gratitude

List?

Just, I nearly got lost going for a pee, which is kind of embarrassing, considering what my

old job was, but there we go.

You have to leave a trailer breadcrumbs next time.

Yeah.

So we didn't really get into gratitude in the main app, but has that been a part of your

sort of learning to be a bit more present

and flipping that mindset from dwelling to reflecting?

Yeah, it has.
