Day 358

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I just had a friend tell me they relapsed.  It makes me sad.  But ya know what, that does not mean they are a failure.  They just get back up, dust themselves off, and keep going.  Keep trying.  Looking back I see that my worst days sober are better than my best days drinking.  If I keep looking back I  might get tripped up, so I need to look forward with my head up.  Relapsing does not make weak, it makes you human.  Now I'm not saying that everyone should relapse because we are human, but be aware that it could happen.  I know that if I stop going to meetings or stop fellowshipping with others in recovery, I might slip back to drinking again.  When someone relapses and then gets back on the wagon, I realize that it is not any better out there than it was before.  Drinking again did not make life any better.  It still sucks out there.  So keep your head up.  Don't give up.  You CAN do this.  It may be hard, but it is SOOO worth it.  If you feel like drinking or using, call someone.  Sometimes just talking can help so much.  Getting yourself out of your own head. That's all I got for today.  Have a great one!
