Good afternoon! My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. Sometimes my brain tells me that since I'm sober now, I'm ok, but I'm not. I could drink tonight. I don't HAVE this. There is no guarantee for me to be sober tomorrow. I am sober now and that is all I have. I can't "rest on my laurels." I need to stay active in AA, go to meetings, and continue to chair meetings. Not only does this go for my sobriety but for me spiritually as well. I need to conitue going to church, fellowship with other Christians, read my Bible, and pray. I can't do this alone. This sobriety thing, I don't think I could do by myself, as a matter of fact I know I couldn't. I would have to have God in my life. That's why it didn't work before when I tried and I wasn't realy walking with Him. I was too selfish to ask for help. With God my side I can do anything. That's all I have for today. Have a great one!

This is so true!! My brain tells me every day I got this. That is my disease talking. It is a daily reprieve. Yesterday is over and we aren't promised tomorrow. All we have is today and in the now. Thanks for posting I needed that
