Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. Some people have relapse as part of their story, some don't, and some just don't yet.  There is always yet.  We only have today. But not to get off track already :) No matter how many times you fall down, as long as you get back up and keep going, you are heading in the right direction.  You are NOT giving up.  Getting back up is living!  You gotta get back up, no matter how bad it hurts.  Put one foot in front of the other and keep moving.  If you drank, get to a meeting.  If you used, get to a meeting.  If you fell off your bike, get back on it and try it again. (I'm sure no 5 year olds are reading this, but you catch my drift :) ) Whatever you think you 'failed' at, keep trying.  On a lighter note, there is another quote I like, about friendship. "Friends pick us up when we fall down, and if they can't pick us up, they lie down and listen to us for a while."  That's how our true friends should be, always there for us.  So next time, before you pick up that drink or drug, call that friend or friends.  They will be there for you.  :)  That's all I have for today.  Havea  great one!

I hear you, friend! A friend learns our song and sings it back to us when we forget it. Stick with the winners. Show me your friends and I'll show you your future. If equal affection cannot be, let "the more loving one" be me. There is always more power in 'the rooms' than the total of people therein. Peace~keep on keeping on.
