I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a college student, I get good grades, I have a job, friends, a loving family, etc. Most of the people I know, even close friends, have no idea that I struggle with alcoholism/addiction. It certainly is hard to motivate myself because I haven't really been burned by it yet. The thing is I've seen many friends continue down the road I'm on and I don't want to end up "bottoming out" and losing everything before I decide to quit. At least for the moment, I've decided to "quit while I'm ahead" and try to avoid ever hitting some of the lows I've seen in others. I'm not sure if it will work in the long run but I've got 9 days sober so far and counting!
