Day 285

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict.  It is almost Thanksgiving, and I am remembering all the things I need to be thankful for, and it's mostly people.  I really am so thankful for all the people that stuck by me through all the crap recently.  Those who loved me when I didn't love myself.  Those who cared about me when I didn't care.  I am also thankful for all the people, positive and negative, for you have made me who I am today.  I am so very thankful for all the people who have come into my life through recovery.  Those who have been where I have been, and are there with me moving forward.  And for those who have stayed there through it all. There are some people who aren't there anymore, and I am partially to blame, because I didn't care.  I am very grateful for my life that I have today.  My family and friends, new and old, I thank you, and I can't thank you enough. You have made me a stronger woman today.  Sometimes I am thankful, but don't say anything.  I think they just know.  So again I say thank you.  So thank someone you love today!  I'm sure they don't hear it enough. Have a great day!
