Good morning! My name is Lauren and I"m a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict. I have been thinking, once again, (I do a lot of that now days), about myself and how I will be remembered. A year ago, I know I wouldn't have been remembered well. People would have thought, "That girl killed herself, with alcohol." No one would really feel bad, they would think I deserved it. But now I feel, I have had a more positive affected people in my life. People would remember me with a smile, not a grimice. I know this is kind of morbid today, but before I didn't really think I was going to die. Doctors told me MANY times alcohol was going to kill me, and I really didn't think it would happen to me. God really had his hand in that, because many times I should have. Now, I am more realistic, and know that it is inevitable, but want to leave a "good" footprint on this earth. I want to be remembered happy, humbled and blessed, not sad, sick and sorry. I am glad today to say that I think I have changed the thought of me. I know this is a wierd topic today, but it's real. So with that being said, I'm grateful for one more day alive and sober. By the way, today is 10 MONTHS SOBER!!!!! Have a great day!

That is FANTASTIC! Keep coming back. It works if you work. We all strive for that. Atleast we all should strive to be better. Making good memories is important. Being better than we were yesterday is the plan. We aren't perfect. So remember progress not perfection and easy does it. Odaat! Congratulations on 10 months. One day sober for us is a miracle. Keep adding each day up one day at a time :)
