Day 258

Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict. Today I want to talk about self-acceptance.  In my addiction, I hated myself. I hated everything I did.  I didn't feel worthy of anything.  Once I got sober, I had to realize I wasn't a bad person, I had just done some bad things.  Like Buddha said, Every experience, holds a blessing.  You just need to find it. That's right along with everything happens for a reason.  or it's ok to make a mistake as long as you learn from it.  NO one is perfect. We all make mistakes.  But we need to find the good in it. I believe my experience with addiction has helped me be able to share my story with other addicts.  Maybe me being open about it may help someone else want to get sober too.  I want to lead by example.  I want to share how life is so much better when we're sober, instead of wasting each day, waiting for the next, chasing that next high. Well, that's all for today!  Have a great day!
