Day 1148 Clean & Sober

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  This quote really hit me today.  I didn't start drinking or using with the intent of becoming an addict.  I started because I liked the way it made me feel...or not feel.  Well both actually.  Drinking in the beginning was my "liquid courage."  I was outgoing, but it gave me courage to talk to guys. Looking back now, I see that wasn't the way to go about it.  Drinking and using didn't make me more sexy, it actually made me less attractive.  Once I continued this way of life, I began to not feel, or deal with life, and I liked that too.  I didn't have to deal with the feelings of disappointment or rejection, I just drank and used to not have to deal with it.  But not dealing with it, didn't make it go away.  Because when I got sober, I had a lot of things that were still there that I needed to deal with.  We need to find other ways of meeting our needs than with drugs or alcohol, and there are a lot of them out there.  :)  Today, I go to church, AA meetings, and have a good support system.  I talk about my problems, instead of running from them. That's all I have for today.  Have a great one!

Hello, Lauren! Now that you have found the light, I hope that you will continue taking the right path. Getting addicted to alcohol is just a phase that you need to overcome. Sometimes, we will fall for things we don't like. What we need to do is to get up and prove ourselves wrong; that we can always learn to stand up no matter how hard it could be. So far, you should be happy with your progress. It's better to function slowly but surely. At the end of the day, everything is going to make sense!
