Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. Being happy is a choice. It doesn't just happen. The way I was living before, I was miserable. I wasn't living. I was just waiting to die. I was miserable and making everyone around me miserable too. I needed to live, not just exist. I made the choices I did, but had no control of the consequences of those choices. I had to learn from it, and I did. But sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places. It's all a crazy circle. But like I've said before everything happens for a reason. I have learned to be happy, and enjoy life. I only live once, so I better make the best of it. God made me, not to be unhappy and live miserably, but to be happy, and feel blessed and live for Him. I have come to the conclusion that my life is the way it is, because he wants me to help others. I want to share my story and hope with others who may feel miserable too. I want to be selfless and go out of my way to help others. I want people to smile when they hear my name, not roll their eyes and shake their heads. So smile today! Have a great one!

I am so glad that you choose to follow the path that you are on today. If you had not, we would have never met and I would have missed out on seeing your beautiful smile every day! Keep smiling my friend, you wear it well! Keep the faith!

Fantastic. It is SO a choice to be happy for me today. I also want to live God's will for me--and that is to be happy, joyous, and free, living life here on the planet on life's terms, but keeping my gaze upward. Thank you Lauren!
