Day 477

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  It's amazing to think how we can always go to God.  When we are happy, or sad, or in need or grateful, in every moment.  In the morning, I can wake up and thank him for a giving me another day to be alive, a chance to open my eyes and see the beautiful world he created.   I have the opportunity to go to work and make money for our family.  I seek His guidance throughout the day.  Then come home and spend time with my husband and two great kids. I praise Him in my quiet moments. Then I thank Him at night for another great day.  When there are painful times, I go to Him.  It's funny, well it's really not funny, but when I was drinking/using, I prayed a lot, but not really prayed,  I just begged God to take away the pain. I would ask Him to make me stop drinking, make me better, make me stop puking 20 times a day, make it all stop.  I would BEG Him.  I didn't know it could or would ever really happen.  But it did.  Here I am. God heard my prayers.  So thank you God for your love and forgiveness.  That's all for today.  Have a great one!
