Day 253

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren & I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict.  I saw a cool quote today.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

I'm always worrying about the future.  Is what I planned going to happen?  Is it going to be what I expected? Is it going to be worse?  When? Why? What?  AHHHHHH!  In my sobreity I have learned to just take it easy.  Me worrying all the time about something I have no control over is pointless.  It gets me nowhere except more frustrated. I have learned that I need to pray every morning.  To give it to God, whatever happens, happens.  It's all in God's plan anyways, so why am I so stressed about it. I'm not saying that life is perfect now, at all, but is sure is a lot better.  I know I can't do it alone.  I've tried, by myself.  It doesn't work.  There has to be a power greater than myself that has control over everything I don't. So each morning, I pray for God's will.  Whatever happens has a reason.  It may not go with I think is good timing, or the way I think it should have happened.  But God made it that way.  Another thing I have to work on, is patience.  I want everything done yesterday.  I need to work on being patient and letting God's time work.  And know that there is good reason it is like that.  I work on these things daily, and will have to for the rest of my life.  Well that's all I have today.  Have a great one!
