Day 360

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I can't believe in 5 days I will have been sober for 1 year! Last night at a meeting, there were 1 people celebrating AA birthdays.  One was 2 years, and the other was 2 months.  Both are amazing milestones.  We each have done it one day at a time.  Every time someone celebrates sobriety time, it is a blessing.  I had the honor of giving each of them their AA coins.  It's neat to hear them talk about the time they have been sober.  Each one thanked someone or God.  They admitted they didn't do it on their own.  Only by the grace of God and the fellowship of others recovering as well.  We have been given this wonderful opportunity to then share our hope of a better life with others.  Be proud of yourself when you get 1 year, or 1 month or 1 day.  You have to start somewhere.  Every 24 hours, you add one more day.  Keep building that up, it gets easier.  Life gets better.  So celebrate each day your new life of sobriety.  Have a great day!
