Day 3511 CLEAN & SOBER

Hey there, it's Lauren and I'm still a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Its been almost another year since I posted, but am still doing well.  This quote really resonated with me, as the use of drugs and alcohol, at least for me, was not my only problem.  I had a lot of trauma, anger, fear, and resentments to process.  Once I dealt with those properly, it was easier to deal with life without drugs or alcohol.  It is also an ongoing process.  Recovery is a journey not a destination.  I am still leading meetings at the local county jail, and doing some mentoring at a prison somewhat close.  I know that this is a life long disease, and I will never be cured.  I am putting in work daily and keeping conscious contact with God.  I am currently sponsoring a few ladies which had been very rewarding.  I enjoy seeing these young women's eyes light up when they see things coming together.  Putting in the work and seeing results.  I chose sober because I wanted a better life.  I stay sober because I got one!  Have a great day!  God bless!
