I used to need sobriety because I was causing unhappiness to my family and it is the only way to deal with life's issues. Now I want sobriety because I am free in my spirit and health and see how to stay that way.
Sober since October

At my 86 days, I'm actually finding it difficult to come up with a clear answer. This is a good exercise!
Ok, I used to need sobriety because I was breaking apart and failing mentally and physically. Now I want sobriety because I'm becoming more together and I'm seeing things a bit more clearly every day. Little by little!

I used to "need" sobriety because I couldn't stay over or travel with non drinkers or I would go into withdrawal.
Now I "want" sobriety because I am free to come and go as I please!

I used need sobriety because... I kept hurting the people closest to me (why that happened so often is beyond me now!)
But now I want sobriety because.... after 5 mos (today, yay) it is awesome to wake up and actually FEEL GOOD and be ready to handle the day ahead, instead of feeling bad just watchin the clock waitin for the liquor store to open.

I used to "need" sobriety because I was in trouble in every way because of my drinking. Now I "want" sobriety because things have gotten so much better as a result of not drinking and trying to examine the underlying issues that make me want to get so drunk all the time in the first place.
I used to need sobriety because it was my only hope of not dying.
Now I want sobriety because I have joined the living.
And life is beyond precious and lofe is such a daily privilege.
