Good afternoon! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. I have to remind myself of this sometimes, but it is definitely true. My worst day clean and sober is always better than my best day drunk or high. I may have some really bad days, but I have to remind myself that going back out there is not going to make my problems so away. They will still be there when I'm sober. I just learned to deal with them, and take care of my problems for them go to away. It's not magic. I have to work at it, but it is sooo worth it! Anything worth having is worth working for. So if you are having a bad today, just remember it could be worse, and to keep your head up and face your problems head on. Sometimes they take time to figure out and deal with but it's better than them building up and growing into more issues. That's all I have for today. God bless! Have a great day!

I have a friend who is currently obsessed with drinking liquor. I don't know know how to control her since she told me that it's the one that makes her happy. Well, I am not even surprised! She's kind of problematic and liquor seems to take her problems away. I cannot blame her since it has become a norm and a perception for some. But the truth is, the best days are when we are clean and not sober, for we can think wisely and we can provide a solution for our problems. Drinking isn't bad, we just have to know our limitations, isn't it?
