Day 297

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. I am so blessed to have my husband by my side.  He stayed with me and loved me when I didn't love myself.  I really like the quote above. There is also another story I like.  A reporter asked an old couple "How did you manage to stay together so long?" She replied, "It's simple really.  We are from a time where is something is broke we fix it...not throw it away!"  I feel sometimes we are supposed to go through some bad stuff to enjoy the good more.  I love my husband so much.  A perfect marriage is two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.  Our marriage has grown stronger.  I feel terrible for being a "bad" wife.  I didn't care.  So here is a poem I wrote while in my recovery.

Chris


I saw,
I craved,
I wanted,
you.

I adored,
I caressed,
I pleased,
you.

I broke,
I hurt,
I pained,
you.

I deprived,
I depressed,
I failed,
you.

I bettered,
I renewed,
I changed,
for you.

You embraced,
you loved,
you forgave,
me.

I love you.
Forever and always...

Have a great day!
