Day 550 Clean & Sober

Good morning! My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Today I am roller coaster of emotions.  Blessed to sober, happly to be alive, but we all go through difficult times in our lives, and I can be sad too. But today I am not running to the bottle to fix that problem.  Smoking a bowl won't make my bills stop.  Snorting a line won't make cancer go away.  Life goes on.  Today I can turn to God when I have stuggles, not to alcohol or whatever.  Today, I saw familar faces in the paper that will be doing a lot of years for some stupid decisions related to drugs, and it makes me glad of the decision I made to get clean and sober.  There is only one end on the road I was heading: jails, institutions or death.  And I was headed there fast.  Today, I ask God for help when I have a problem, I pray to Him. That's all I have for today.  Have a great one!
