Good afternoon! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict. Today marks 9 months of sobriety time! That is so awesome. But ya know what, It's no any longer than anyone else. It's just another 24 hours. I can't look too far into the future, because I am just 1 drink away from being a drunk. It could be any day. I'm not promised another day of sobriety none the less another day alive. I have to just put one foot in front of the other and do it one day at a time. Here is my poem called "One Day at a Time"

One Day at a Time

You were my best friend.
I loved you so.
I would do anything,
To any lengths I would go.

I would lie to people about you,
To the people closest to me.
You said you'd always be there,
Always make me happy.

They said you would kill me.
You'd take all I cared for.
I just couldn't believe that.
You said you could give me more.

But then they said they'd leave me
If you were who I chose.
Were you really worth it?
Were you worth all these woes?

So I sat back to think
Of all the hurt you caused me.
Not one thing I did better with you
On that we could agree.

Before you took me to the grave.
Before you took everything.
I tore from the grip you had on me
But to me you tried to cling.

Now I live without you
I'm trying to realign
Doing the next right thing.
One day at a time.

So with that being said. I'm very proud of myself, but it's just one more day! And that's all I can keep doing! have a great one!
