Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Last night I had a friend I met, when I went back to speak at the treatment center, call me.  She got home a few days ago.  I am so glad she called! She will now be a life-long friend.  We have a bond, a connection, something that will always link us together.  She is part of my recovery story, and I am part of hers.  I love meeting new people, and hearing their story, just listening, sometimes that's all they want, someone to listen.  But these people become family, people that I was in treatment with became family, I spent so much time with them, they knew everything about me.  Now I meeting new people, at meetings, at AA functions, in life in general, in recovery, from the treatment center when I went back, they are becoming like family now too.  When I was drinking and using, I lost all my friends, I go to the point where I didn't want to be with anyone but myself and my vodka.  I didn't want anything to come between it.  That was it.  Now I venturing outside of myself and becoming the old me again, and having friends again.  It's amazing what sobriety can do.  It's funny how "normal" can be exciting for me, when it is just normal for everyone else.  But ya know what?  It makes me happy, and that's all that matters.  That's all I got today!  Have a great one!
