Day 471

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Some might be ashamed of their recovery, or their past, but it is who I am,  I am in recovery.  I live one day at a time, staying sober.  I didn't just used to drink and use, and now my life is rainbows and unicorns.  I struggle just like the next person.  I believe God has taken the urges to drink and use from me, but I still have bad days where I get frustrated and wanna scream.  I am human.  I will always be in recovery.  It is a process.  I will never be healed.  I know it is a touchy subject to some about being a disease, but I believe it is.  But I do make the conscious and physical contribution to it.  But me standing up and facing my disease and asking for God's help each day gets me through each day.  471 days and counting.  I can't do it alone, and I know that.  And that makes me stong. That's all I have for today.  Have a great one!
