Day 353

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I have talked about how I am so glad I changed, or had the courage to change.  When I first saw this quote, I thought how wrong it was.  I changed . I had changed everything about my life. But when I really though about it, it is so true.  My priorities changed.  My life didn't revolve around alcohol, it didn't take over life anymore.  My priorities were now my family, my health, my life. I never really understood how much priorities has an impact on your life.  I just thought I really liked alcohol, how it made me feel, or not feel.   I liked it a lot.  I really didn't think, at that time, that there was a problem.  Everyone else had the problem, not me.  I just like alcohol, and people didn't like that, and I didn't care.  I wanted to do what I wanted to do.  I was being very selfish.  When I got sober, and I wasn't my first priority, (or at least, not to the extent of me only thinking about myself, and not others) I started to see how happy I could be by sharing the real me, sharing my true feelings.  So this quote could go both ways.  I didn't change, my priorities did.  So when I changed my priorities, everything else changed. It made me, be me again.  Not me hiding behind drugs and alcohol. Me open, me vulnerable, me honest, me true to myself. So I am glad I changed...I changed my priorities, so that changed everything else about me.  That's all for today.  Have a great one!
