Day 764

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I am such a talker and still selfish at that.  When I was drinking or using, most of the time when you were talking, I was more worried about what I was going to say next, not listening to what you were saying.  In my sobriety, I have learned I need to listen you. Not just hear what you are saying, and wait for you to take a breath so I can interject my next thought.  I really need to listen to you, and take into consideration your thoughts and feelings.  Now this is a process.  I am still terrible at it.  I am still working on it.  I still interrupt.  I still am thinking about what I want to say next.  But I am a lot better that I used to do.  It is progress, not perfection.  As long as I am better than I was yesterday, that is a "win" for me.  And I don't need to be better than anyone, than myself yesterday. I am working on me, and only me.  So I will continue to not only hear you, but listen to you, fully, when you talk to me.  I think I have a lot to say, but so do you.  And maybe it is what YOU have to say, that I need to hear.  That's all I have for today.  Have a great one!
