Day 444

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I used to be dying.  Now I am living. Ceasing to expect anything from tomorrow?  I wasn't expecting anything from today. Today I want as much as I can out of life, and want to get as much as I can out of tomorrow as well.  God gave me hope when I got sober. I had lost all hope in myself and everything about myself when I was drinking and using.  I didn't think I was worth anything.  I had almost given up on myself.  My family had not, and wouldn't let me.  They gave me the boost of confidence I needed to go to rehab which was the one thing I needed to get me back to the "real" me again.  Alcohol was poisoning me, killing me one day at a time.  And I want to live.  Today I spend time with my kids, we play outside.  I help with homework. I cook dinner, not just hotdogs, or mac and cheese. I am involved in AA, I chair meetings and such.  I want to see what tomorrow brings, so I make the most of today.  That's all I got.  Have a great one!
