Day 348

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict.  I am now actually living.  Before, I was going through the motions, and watching life pass me by.  I have learned to life like there is no tomorrow.  I want to leave a positive footprint on this earth.  I want to genuinely share my life's journey.  I keep saying "to other alcoholic/addicts", but in reality I should be saying everyone.  I don't need to separate myself from others.  Those not struggling with addiction or alcoholism may get something out of what I say too.  What I say doesn't only deal with with addicts, it can be used in daily life.  Also, what I say, it just my opinion, not what I think you should do, or how you should live.  It is just how I feel about where I was, compared to where I am today.  I notice a huge difference in myself, in my attitude on everything, work and family life. I feel more like an asset to my family, than a hindrance. Before, with my depression and hatefulness toward everything, I resonated a negative aura.  With my current, positive, attitude, I feel so blessed.  God has given me so much to live for, and just realizing that was a huge step. So hopefully me sharing the hope we have in God, will help just one person, get through one more day.  I'm not saying what I say or do will change the world, but me sharing on this blog, if anyone reads it or not, is healing to me. So that's all for today.  Have a great one!
