Day 236

HI, my name is Lauren & I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict.  I'm not quite ready for fall yet.  Supposed to do a couple thing with the family today outside.  Brrrr! Tomorrow I am doing a walk for Juvenile Diabetes.  My nephew has it.  Last year this time, I would have been to selfish to do anything to help anyone out.  But it's not all about me anymore.  So I'm doing what I can, to help someone else out.  I've learned not to take anything or anyone for granted.  You never know what can happen.  
     In one of my reading this morning it talked about how when we got sober we thought we were fixed.  But the truth is, as with any disease, it does not happen over night.  A fortune cookie once said, "Your 3 best doctors are faith, time, and patience." And if anyone knows me, I'm not the most patient person in the world...but am working on it every day.  I keep trusting God to heal me every day.  Lord knows, I can't do it by myself.  One day at a time, I get stronger and happier.  Each day I know myself better.  And I'm ok with that.  Have a great day!
