Day 519

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Serenity is something that is very important to me.  Sobriety has given me this, and God has given me this.  It doesn't mean that my life is perfect and I don't go through any trials.  It's called life, I have lost jobs, cars have broken down, and I have been sick in the hospital.  I have lost family and friends that didn't deserve to die.  But in my sobriety and with God by my side, I have learned that I can have peace while I am in the storm, instead of stressing and griping when I have no control over the storm.  There are a lot of things in life I have no control over and learning to differentiate those things has been a huge help.  Sobriety has helped me do that.  That's all I have for today!  Have a great one!
