Day 480 Clean & Sober

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateul, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I have a couple friends of mine father pass away.  This has got to be a very hard time for them and their family  I met him a few times, but didn't know him well.  I can sympathize, but can't empathize.  I have lost two grandfathers, but not my father.  Always in the past when someone has died I have gone out and gotten wasted and used to "take away the pain"  I haven't lost anyone yet in sobriety.  That could also be a big test for my sobriety.  I know it has been for others.  But I believe with my perseverence and God's strength on my side I would be ok.  But only time will tell.  So I will only take it one day at a time and worry about today.  So today, I am sorry for the loss of your much-loved pops.  In the still darkness, may comfort find its way to you.  My deepest sympathies.  That's all for today.  Have a great one!
