Good afternoon! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict. I have thought about how much more I have now, (not really material thing) but true relationships. I feel so much more blessed. I never understood how truly blessed I am. I have so much to give, I want to give it away. I really like the quote above. My life is more full by what I can give back. To help someone else, in a time of need. To talk to them, or just to listen. Maybe that's all they want, an ear to listen. But I feel so much more full when I am giving it away. Sobriety, in the beginning, is selfish. I had to take care of myself before I could anyone else. Now that I have found myself, it's time for me to share this wonderful gift. Acts 20:35 says, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." So true. And it seems the more I give, the more I receive. So that's all I got for today! Have a great one!
