Day 346

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I am thinking a lot about forgiveness.  I have learned I need to forgive others as fast as I think God should forgive me. I also shouldn't do "bad" things only because I know God will forgive me.  I have to really think who else it will hurt, and how they may forgive me.  Is what I'm doing really worth, hurting others.  What am I getting out of it?  People make mistakes.  Lord know I've done my share, and still will.  Just hopefully, not like I was making.  Not making the same mistakes, over and over and over again.  It was a vicious circle of messing up, saying I was sorry, making broken promises, and doing it again.  It was insanity.  Today I know we all make mistakes and I can't hold grudges forever for people doing wrong things.  That is hypocritical.  I have been there, and expected forgiveness, now I should do the same.  Today I don't forgive because I have to, but because I want to.  I truly understand the imperfect nature of humans.  I am stronger today for making mistakes and learning from them, not staying in that selfish circle of lies.  Well, that's all for today!  Have a great one!
