Day 416

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Today is my son's 3rd birthday, and when I saw this quote, I laughed.  When the house is quiet, I know he is guilty.  He is doing something he isn't supposed to be doing.  But he is a kid, and he is a boy, and that's what they do.  But that's where I come in.  But that's what my job as a mom is. To teach him, right from wrong. And in my sobriety, I have a second chance to do that now.  Also in my sobriety, I am learning, when to keep my own mouth shut.  When to keep my mouth shut and just listen.  Sometimes I just need to listen, instead of opening my big mouth.  Yes, sometimes I think I am the only one who has a lot to say and everyone needs to listen to me, but I am learning to shut up and listen.  Other people have more important things that I need to hear sometimes too. And more and more I am beginning to see that.  But it took time and continues to take time.  But one day at a time, I am learning new things, and learning more things about me.  And loving me.  I am learning to speak up when I need to, and listen when I need to as well, (especially when my house is quiet)  That's all I got for today!  Have a great one!
