Day 357

Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. Everything that is good or bad, is all a perspective.  Something I see as good, you may see as bad.  But it is what it is.  Facts are facts, but who says what a fact is.  A truth is only what you see it as.  At some time, one thing may be looked at as bad, may later turn out good.  Me being or acting like I used to is bad, we all agree on that, but look what came out of it.  A stronger woman, able to share my true feelings, wanting to help others instead of being selfish.  Giving what I have, not taking what I can get.  My perspective of life and people has changed and become a amazing experience.  Not taking people's opinions as truth. Not looking at everything negatively but as a gift, a chance at experiencing life not going through the motions.  Being true to myself, not lying to myself to get through another dreaded day.  I only live once, so why be miserable, make the best of what I have, which is truly a blessing.  Every hardship I have encountered, has been a blessing in disguise.  I have stopped wishing for things, and begun living life on life's terms. So thank you God for another day, clean and sober! :)  That's all I got!  Have a great day!
