Day 494 Clean & Sober

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I heard some news this morning of a good friend in recovery that has passed away.  But as far as I know he passed away sober.  He had some recent health problems, but I never saw this coming.  He was not much older than me.  He's too young to die.  But  that's the reality of it.  It can happen to anyone at anytime.  I keep telling myself.  At least he died sober.  There are so many people out there that don't.  That don't ever get the opportunity to get sober.  Or that go back out there and don't come back.  This is the first person I really knew that I have lost in sobriety. Today my heart hurts.  Today I pray for all those still suffering.  But I also pray for those that have gotten sober and had the opportunity to live a live of sobriety and enjoy life.  Thank you God.  That's all for today.  Have a great one!
