Day 266

Good Monday morning!  My name is Lauren & I'm a happy recovering alcholic/addict.  I've been thinking about happiness.  It is what you make of it.  Time spent unhappy is time wasted.  Here is another quote I like.  "Happiness is appreciating what you have, not getting what you want."  I have been more happy now in my life than ever.  I am so blessed with a wonderful husband and two great kids.  They have loved me unconditionally. Happiness is a journey not a destination.  It is not a point that you get it to and that is it.  It is an everyday thing. I am the only person that can make myself happy.  I am ultimately responsible for how I feel.  If I choose to be miserable in my life, that's where I will stay.  If I choose to be happy, life will get better.  I have nothing more now than I did when I was drinking, but I am happy.  I am happy with what I do have, because I could have lost it all.  I should have lost it all.  But being in the place I was before, emotionally and pshycologically, I was never going to be happy.  I have full appreciation for what I have today.  And I do not want to lose that.  On that note, that's all I have today.  Have a great one!

You are very right. I also believe that you have to surround yourself with positive people even if it means to let go of the "friends" we have had in the past.
