Yeah, i guess it's not that different from stopping drinking because because you don't want to lose your family / job / life etc.
I suppose what i mean is that somewhere along the way came the realisation that i am giving up drinking not just to avoid something, but in order to get something - a better, happier life.
For me it's a more positive way of looking at it, but that's just my opinion. Moving towards something good feels better than moving away from something bad to me!
But that's just me - i'm not judging anyone - if it works for you then i say good stuff.
