Day 599 Clean & Sober

Good morning!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I forgot to mention that on September 27th was my 1 year anniversary of this blog!  I thought that was really cool!  It totally slipped my mind, I knew it was coming up, I see it on the right hand side all the time.  But wow a whole year.  And today I have 599 clean and sober!  So many things I have written about in a year.  I have so many favorite quotes!  I think this quote can wrap it all up of my feelings and advice for today.  I know there are a lot of people in my life and family hurting or going through struggles right now, even people I don't know, reading this, remember these three "P" words in all you do.  Be Positive, Patient, and Persistent.  Thinking negative thoughts will get you nowhere.  They will only get you farther from your goal, or dig you farther in your hole.  Be patient with others, your husband, kids, and parents.  Be patient with your friends and strangers on the street and most of all be patient with yourself.  Be persistent in everything you do.  Do your best and give 110%.  Teach your kids (if you have any) this too.  Never give up.  Believe in yourself.  That's all I have for today!  Have a great one!
