Day 907

Good morning!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  When I was drinking and using I thought it only affected me.  I thought I was the only person I was hurting.  But today I see how many other people my addiction involved.  Not only my blood family suffered, but my work family was disturbed as well.  My disease just kept radiating further and further like a ripple on a pond.  This weekend I am involved in a Walk for Addiction Awareness.  We want to Fight the Fight Against Addiction.  Addiction is a family disease, and people need to know that.  It's also not just cocaine and alcohol anymore either.  It's the Vicodin in your medicine cabinet.  It's the Xanax you take for anxiety.  It's the pills we are getting prescribed everyday.  We just take more and more, but think it's ok because the doctor originally gave us the prescription for it.  But things can get out of control pretty quickly.  We can fight this fight against addiction together.  That's all I have for today!  Have a great one!
