Day 241

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict.  Well it has been busy these last few days, not that I'm making excuses. So...One of my readings today was pretty good (not that they usually aren't.)  It talked about us thinking everything always had to be perfect.  And that when we made a mistake we were bad.  Mistakes are normal. We can learn from them.  Mistakes can be used to teach and guide us.  One thing that we are taught though is that once we have made a mistake, "promptly admitted it." and that we don't continually make that same mistake.  The insanity of it is we can't keep making the same mistake and expect a different result.  We need to learn from them.  They can make us a better person. They make us who we are, we just don't need to keep making the same ones over and over, thinking it will change the outcome.  That's all for today!  Have a great night!

PS I am raising funds to be able to go back to the treatment center that helped get me sober, to share my testimony with other recovering alcoholic/addicts.  If you would like to help me out, that would be great.  Please go to gofundme.com/laurenyoder  Thanks!
