Day 493 Clean & Sober

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  There were days when I thought I wasn't good enough, or why even try.  Looking back I wish I would have quit sooner.  I wish I would have listened to all the people who cared about me who were telling me I needed help.  I missed out on a lot of stuff. But I can't go back.  But I can tell you that today you have a chance to change your life today.  Today can be the day you can change your life.  Today may be the day your son or daughter needs you more than ever.  The day your husband needs his wife back. Life is precious.  It is a gift from God and can be taken at any moment.  We take that for granted a lot of the time.  We think those other people will always be there.  That we can get high or drink one more time, and they will be there when we come down.  Or that they will be there when we wake up.  That is not always the case.  We don't always wake up.  They don't always stay.  Today is the day for change.  That's all I have for today. Have a great one!
