 Good afternoon! My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. Some people think that when they get sober, life will get perfect and there will be no problems, but the reality is that it is still 'life.' We still have bills to pay, we will still have fights with spouses, kids will be kids, and cars will break down. But in our sobriety we can learn how to deal with life. We can learn to deal with life on life's terms. Life is still going to throw us curve balls, but life is going to better than it would have been if we were still drinking or using. There is another saying that I really like, "My worst day sober is still better than my best day drinking." In my sobriety, I have learned serenity. I don't have it down perfect, and never will, but God gives me a little more each day. And when I am really struggling, I can just pray for a little more. That's all I have for today! Have a great one!

Some people steal when they have enough. Imagine what they would do if they were hungry. Peace in peaceful times seems natural, but peacefulness beckons self-sabotage in some people. Peace where there is no storm is harder for some than peace in the midst of the storm is for others. Peace is the Point, during good times or difficult times, come what may. Happiness is a choice. Unconditional love is a cloudy dream to the inebriated, clarified mind. What I mean is, when people are drunk, it's the only time they are clear...real, honest, raw. Problem is, they are also insensitive to delicate strength and move like tornadoes until they break everything around them that they thought was strong, thus leaving them powerless, empty shells fully empty of the illusion of ego (Edging God Out). Had I known how high I could get sober, I would have never bothered with substance in the first place. Leave a Reply. |
