Day 275

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict.  I've really been thinking a lot about friends.  I thought I lost some friends when I was really drinking, and lost some too when I quit.  But maybe they weren't really friends.  Not a lot of people stuck around during my excessive drinking.  And if you are reading this and feel guilty, I'm sorry. It is what it is.  If you don't want to be friends with me, I can't make you.  I have learned what real friends are.  And now I am finding and making real friends.  Real friends who genuinely care about me, who listen to me, and who I want to listen to as well.  No offense to anyone, but not just a drinking buddy.  I am not saying I didn't enjoy my time with you. That was my lifestyle then, and that's what I wanted.  I just wanted someone to drink with.  And I didn't really have "problems" or "feeling" to share, I was drinking them away. I didn't want to deal with them.  So with that being said,  "A real frined is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." -Walter Winchell.  Have a great day!

Hi Lauren, it's funny that you wrote this. I feel the same way. You think you have friends when you really don't. I know I'm too old to hang out with you, but I have ALWAYS had you in my heart. Stay sweet and true to yourself and the right friend will happen. Love you and your family. PS, I have been following your
