Day 680

Good morning!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I'm always in a hurry to do everything I do.  Well, I guess not EVERYTHING.  I wasn't in a hurry to get sober.  :)  But once I did, I wanted everything now.  I wanted to go through all the steps.  I wanted to make my list.  I wanted to make my amends.  I wanted to be RECOVERED.  But it's not that simple.  I won't ever be recovered.  I'm in recovery.  It's not a race, it's not a sprint, it's more of a marathon.  I shouldn't be in a hurry to get through the steps as fast as I can.  I need to slow down, take my time.  Get to know me again.  Take my time to heal.  I did get hurt in my drinking and using. Yeah, my body was physically pretty tore up, but I was also an emotional mess, and spiritually broken.  I had a lot of healing to do.  Not only myself, but with relationships.  And that was going to take time.  So don't rush it.  That's all I have for today.  Have a great one!  Merry Christmas! Don't forget I have books and bookmarks for sale in the Store tab above.  Thanks!  God Bless!

Agreed, recovery is not a contest. The inside of a medallion keeps the outside from imploding, if you will. The numbers and writings are an inside-job.
