Day 837

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  With thisweekend being Memorial Day weekend, a lot of people will be out partying, getting wasted, being hungover, not remembering things.  Today I get to enjoy my long weekend with my family, grill out, and remember it.  I won't feel like crap every morning.  When I first got sober, I thought it was going to be boring.  How was I ever going to have fun again. Drugs and alcohol made my life fun, or so I thought.  But there is so much that I really don't remember, but one thing I DO remember is that I always felt like crap afterward.  Today I don't have to feel like that.  Being sober can be and is fun.  There is so much to do in life being sober.  I know I won't get a DUI when I drive anywhere, I wake up in the mornings feeling good, I get to spend more quality time with my kids, I just get more opportunities in life. But also for the fun side of it I know for my AA group, we have picnics, potlucks, luncheons, we grill out, we go out to eat, we just have fun together.  I enjoy my life today.  You can too.  I am sober, not boring!  That's all I have today1 Have a great weekend!
