Day 391

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  In just a few days, I will be talking to some people in rehab, some people detoxing, some people still probably hating the people that sent them there, and some that that are are grateful to be there.  But I will be glad to be there again.  This time on my own free will.  This time to share my story, this time hoping to make an impression on someone, hoping one person will believe what I have to say, and want to stay sober.  I just want one person to see the hope that there is being sober. That they can get through all they crap they put themselves through, and set themselves up for, up until this point and yes there may be consequenses, and there may be people whose trust make take a while to earn back, but it is so worth it.  We put ourselves in this situation and we have to work through it.  We didn't get here overnight and it isn't going to take overnight to get out of.  We just need to take it one day at a time.  Those who had fallen down were the ones were the ones who had helped me up.  Now it is my turn to do the same.  That's all I got for today. Have a great one!
