Day 798 Clean & Sober

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  the other day in a meeting someone said this quote that they had head so I had to jot it down.  I loved it!  It is so true!  Sobriety isn't something given to me forever that I get to keep, as in a gift.  It is a grant.  I have it as long as I am doing certain things.  And those certain things for me, are going to meetings, doing my daily readings, praying, and staying in contact with my sponsor.  Also, I can't stay in my head too long.  Everyone may have different things they have to do, I am NOT here to judge.  But I believe you don't just quit drinking and that's it.  I believe you have to work at it.  For me, I had to put God in charge of my life, because when I ran it, it was a mess.  Things run a little more smoothly these days.  I still have bad days, but don't get me wrong.  My worse day sober, it still better than my best day drunk.  So keep on keeping on and working hard.  One day at a time!  That's all I have for today!  Have a great one!
