Day 560 Clean & Sober

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I am so blessed to be forgiven. I am not perfect in any way, but Jesus died for me and forgave all the bad things I have done and will do.  In sobriety I have learned, or relearned so many things.  I grew up in a Christian home, so knew a lot of things about God, but put Him on a shelf for some years so I could do drugs and drink alcohol, because that's what I wanted to do.  And when what I wanted to do and what God wanted me to do weren't the same thing, it didn't work out too well, so the shelf was the best place for Him, and I did my own thing.  When what I wanted to do wasn't working out for me anymore, that's when I had to get back to what I knew was the only way...God.  The truth is He was always with me, He never really left me side, but I wasn't acting the way I should have.  Today I am glad to say my God is with me and in my heart.   That's all for today.  Have a great one!
