Day 532

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard.  In John 15:12, Christ instructs us to "...love one another, as I have loved you."  It is not something we should probably do.  I must do this, and when I do this I feel so good.  It really does make me happy...and not like Pharrell's song that has now become overplayed, but a real joy from God.  God has given me so many things since I have opened my heart to loving people.  Not physical things, or material things, much better things.  He has given me peace, serenity, joy, love, and hope.  These things are much better than any thing material in the world.  Thank you God for another day sober!  That's all for today.  Have a great one!
