Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict. I've been thinking a lot about life recently. Life has gotten a lot better since I'm sober, but nothing around me has changed, I had to change. And with that change, came new opportunities. As you know, I recently got a book published, and I had someone ask me why my book wasn't in the order of my life. I didn't want tpeople to think that since I got sober everything is perfect. It's not, but it's a heck of a lot better than it was. Life is life. Also, I didn't want people to kill themselves after reading the first few pages which are so depressing and suicidal. I also didn't want people to skip around, only reading the section on recovery. I want people to see my life as it was, the rollercoaster of emotions, or lack thereof. I had some great experiences in my life when I was using, and I've had some bad times now that I'm sober. The quote above, brings it all together. Me having serenity does not mean I don't still have struggles, but I now can deal with them in a different way, a better way. With that being said, have a great day!
