Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. Everyone has something they can help someone with or to get through. Something in common with, they can share. Something they have gone through together, that they understand each other through. For some it could be cancer, or a tornado, or drugs/alcohol. We are all here on Earth living life, making it through another day, some just surviving. We need to help one another. We all have something in common with one another. I can't help everyone, and not everyone wants to be helped. But my hand it held out for those that want it. If I can help one person get or stay sober, or even just put a smile on their face. If I can get one person to put down a drink just for today. I feel I have done my job. I want to help...I can't help everyone, but I can help you. That's all I have for today. Have a great one!

Good afternoon! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. Whenever I am having a crappy day, or something is really frustrating me. I stop...take a deep breath...and tell myself. Shut up and enjoy it. I'm alive. It could be worse. I'm still here, spending time with my family. I'm not saying once I pass on, and am in heaven that won't be the most amazing thing ever, but that's another story. Right now, I want to enjoy the time I have here. Life is happening in front of my face. Before I was watching it happen, I wasn't involved in it. Sometimes, I wasn't even watching it. I was sleeping through it. I wanted it to pass me by. Now I want to soak it all in I want to drink every last drop of it. Playing with my kids, rolling in the grass, swimming in the pool, swinging on the swings, whatever, doing homework with them. Just living!!! Not standing on the sidelines. Jump in and live life, don't let it pass you by. That't all I have for today! Have a great one!
