Good morning! My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. When I first got sober, focusing on one day at a time was a hard thing. Staying sober for forever seemed impossible. I was taught to keep it simple...just to worry about today. One day at a time. Sometimes one hour at a time. I don't need to worry about if I'll be sober 5 or 10 years down the road, I just need to concentrate on today. I don't want to drink today. I want to do something my future self thanks me for, not regrets. All I have is today. I am not promised tomorrow, but I want to do the best I can with what I have, so if there IS a tomorrow, it is a great one! And I made it better because of the choices I made, the good decisions. That's all I have for today! Have a great one!

Send a pray back to yesterday, fill it with gratitude, and know that in God's Economy, nothing is wasted. Celebrate every drunk, for without it, there would be no recovery. God doesn't know the illusion we call time, for God is eternal. So sending prayers anywhere in space or time is ever possible. Indeed, no regrets! I'll co-sign that one! :-)
