Day 506 Clean & Sober

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Whenever I am having a crappy day, or something is really frustrating me.  I stop...take a deep breath...and tell myself.  Shut up and enjoy it.  I'm alive. It could be worse.   I'm still here, spending time with my family. I'm not saying once I pass on, and am in heaven that won't be the most amazing thing ever, but that's another story.  Right now, I want to enjoy the time I have here.  Life is happening in front of my face.  Before I was watching it happen, I wasn't involved in it. Sometimes, I wasn't even watching it.  I was sleeping through it.  I wanted it to pass me by.  Now I want to soak it all in  I want to drink every last drop of it.  Playing with my kids, rolling in the grass, swimming in the pool, swinging on the swings, whatever, doing homework with them.  Just living!!!  Not standing on the sidelines.  Jump in and live life, don't let it pass you by.  That't all I have for today!  Have a great one!

I needed this today... Thank you for blogging. We as recovering addicts and alcoholics have no reason not to enjoy life. We have seen hell and lived in hell. Not today!! Life is truly a gift. Stay strong, stay positive and trudge Odaat 😉
