Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. I had previously walked through life feeling as if I had no purpose. Well, I guess I was here to be a wife and mother, but that was about it. I really didn't feel like I was here to do anything. Once I got sober, I had a whole new outlook. I was here for a reason. I had a purpose. Maybe it was to go though part of my life as an alcoholic/addict, to be able to help others recovering as well. I feel that what I have done, helps me communicate better to those who want the same thing I have, the same thing I want, sobriety. My passion now is life: loving it and living it. Me loving what I have and understanding how truly blessed I am, is an amazing thing. God didn't give me a second chance, it was all part of His plan. If I wasn't an alcoholic, I wouldn't be able to help other alcoholics. I wouldn't be able to appreciate what I do have. Who knows what I would be doing. But not doing what I love: helping people, caring for people, sharing with people, loving people. Do what you love and you will love what you do. I am so happy now, so full of joy. That is an amazing thing. That's all for today! Have a great one!
