Day 371

Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcholic/addict.  I usually write pretty serious thoughts, but today I thought I would be fun.  When I was sober, I was crazy, but it was a crazy that was OK because I was drunk.  It was expected.  It was the usual.  It was funny.  When I got sober, I was still crazy, but had to hide it a little better.  Crazy isn't as normal when you are sober.  When you are sober, you are supposed to be more proper, more sensible.  Now I can still be fun, I am still a little crazy, but try to hide it a little better.  I can still act professional when I have to.  We are all crazy.  We are all a little weird. But only a few people get to see the real us. Only our true friends, the ones that can be just as weird as us, and we don't think any different of them.  It is interesting to see people and think of how they really are.  To look at, let's say, your teacher or your boss.  You know when they go home, they are not the same "firm or harsh" person they are at work or school.  When I was a kid, it was always weird seeing my teacher outside of school.  Seeing them in "normal" clothes, with their family, at the grocery store or at the movies.  They were supposed to live at school.  What were they donig in the real world.  It was crazy.  Well, that's all I got for today.  Have a great one!
