Day 359

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I've come to the conclusion, not me carrying around guilt and shame for my past won't get me anywhere.  If I do something, that the next day I feel bad for, or guilty, then I probably shouldn't be doing it.  If I have to hide something from someone, I probably shouldn't be doing it.  Both of those things I did, when I was drinking.  Yes, I felt guilty, and I needed to, I was wrong. But now,  I have to get on with my life and go forward.  But live in the now, I am not promised tomorrow. I should plan like I am going to live forever, but live like I will die the next.   I also don't need to worry about the future. God has a plan for my life, and that's how it is.  I guess I finally realized I'm just along for the ride.  I am now just going with the flow.  But I do have the choice to make decisions.  God does give me choices that I am trusted to make the right one.  Each new day is another chance to change your life.  So if you fell down yesterday, get back up.  Today is a new day.  Leave the past in the past, and look up and go forward.  God has forgiven me, but I still need to make the right choices.  These choices affect not only myself, but my family.  That's all I got for today  Have a great one!
