Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a courageous recovering alcoholic/addict.  When some people think of the Serenity Prayer, they automatically think of an addict.  Before I got sober, when I heard that saying, I immediately thought of an alcoholic.  That is was "their" motto.   Now, I am one of "those people."  In all actuallity it can be used in everyday life.  The defition of change is:  the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery. Change is a hard thing.  When I got sober, I didn't just quit drinking, I had to change everything.  Every aspect of my life has changed.  My outlook on a lot of things are different too.  I also had to realize what I CAN'T change.  I can't change other people, the only thing I can change is my reactions. I needed to learn how to think things through before I say them, not just blow up and overreact. This is a continuing process.  It's an every day thing that I need to work on.  Another quote I like is:  When you can’t change the direction of the wind — adjust your sails” -H. Jackson Brown Jr.  Well that's all for today1  Have a great one!
