Day 1053 Clean & Sober

Good morning!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Sorry it's been a a while, I've been busy with the holidays, and sick kids, and I was in the ER or ED, whatever they call it nowadays.  I know I shouldn't make excuses.  I need to make time for this.  Having courage to do things is amazing.  Like staying clean and sober each day.  It is an accomplishment!  Congrats to everyone on another 24 hours!  Something I struggle with is asking for help.  This past week I have been in a lot of pain.  They ruled out appendicitis, and gallbladder, and other things, but I am still in pain.  After Christmas, my house is just a mess, with Christmas presents (not that I'm complaining), but I haven't felt up to putting everything away, and making meals.  (The kids are still getting fed)  It's a struggle.  But asking for help, that's hard to do.  I can do it all, why would I ask anyone for help?  I am Wonder Woman!  It will get done eventually, so I will just let laundry pile up, and dishes, and such.  The right thing to do is be humble and ask for help.  I should be able to ask for help when I need it, because I do help others when they are in need.  That is one thing I have stepped up and started doing again, since I've been sober.  I'm glad of that.  That's all I have for today!  Have a great one!  God Bless!
