Day 270

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict.  I really like the above quote. Stirve for progress, not perfection.  I know I will not ever be perfect, but as long I am a better person than I was yesterday, I feel I have gotten somewhere.  I don't want to be anyone else, I just want to be me.  Not that I hate the person I am today, but want to become a better person everyday.  To be less selfish, to be a better listener, to be more kind, to be more loving.  The way I was headed before, was either nowhere or down.  I didn't care about anyone but me, but then it got to the point where I wasn't even doing that.  Now I put one foot in fron of the other, and have a positive outlook, because ya know what...I only live once, so why have it be miserable.  I'm not gonna get another chance at it.  It's not like when I die, I start a new life
