Day 407

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  When I was drinking, and using, my life was never going to get better.  With my mindset, and negativity, nothing was ever going to get beter.  Nothing good comes from overuse of drinking or using drugs.  Nothing.  Along with that comes a negative attitude, and with a negative attitude comes negative everything else.  And that speads to everyone around you.  It made my husband more depressed and in a bad mood, my children weren't as happy.  It's the truth.  If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.  So once I started thinking positive, and realizing how great things really were, life got better.  Nothing else really changed.  I didn't win the lottery, I didn't get a brand new house or new car, but I got a new attitude, a new outlook on life.  I started looking at things in a new light, seeing things the way they really are, not through the bottom of a bottle, a vodka bottle, with bloodshot eyes. But through clear eyes, sober eyes, blessed eyes.  God has given be one more day alive and sober and I and grateful for that.  Think positive and positive thinks will happen. Ain't that the truth.  It's all about your attitude.  So today I choose to be positive. That's all I got for today!  Have a great one!
