Day 243

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm an alcoholic/addict.  The other day I had someone ask me how long I was going to go to meetings?  My reply was, "As long as I want to stay sober."  My reasoning is, when people go to church and then become Christians, do they stop going to church? No. The continue to go for the fellowship with other Christians. To learn more.  To learn how to live. Same thing with the AA program. Addicts don't do to meetings, admit they are an alcoholic/addict, then quit going because they are "healed."  No one is ever cured.  This is an evil disease, and needs constant work to work.  In one of my reading this morning, there was a quote.  "May you live all the days of your life."  -Jonathan Swift.  Well, when I first read it, I thought.  Well, duh, that's what we do, right?  But then I started to really think about it.  Not just to live, which could mean, go though the motions as each day passes.  But to really LIVE. Yes, life is hard, but accepting that, makes it easier to go though.  We can spend a lot of time avoiding the hardships of life, but we could be using that same energy to solving our problems. Life is short, so we need to take advantage of every moment we have and to love.  Well, that's all I have for today. Have a great day!
