Day 546 (18 Months) Clean & Sober

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Today I celebrate 18 months of sobriety!  I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to share this day with you.  People don't realize how many things you can actually be "recovering" from.  Just look at this list.  No one is perfect, and we all have suffered from some sort of one of those listed above, if not us, we know some one who has.  We can celebrate recovery together!  And for most of us, it is a continuous process, it is not just a one time thing, getting recovered.  It is BEING IN recovery. I will be a recovering alcoholic/addict until the day I die.  I am not ashamed to say it.  I take it one day at a time.  It is a learning experience, and I am learning more each day.  I am learning how to live.  There are people with 40 years sober in my group, still 'learning how to live.'  I love it!  That's all I have for today!  Have a great one!
