My question to the people here who have been successful in overcoming their alcoholism is:
What, to you, motivates you to avoid alcohol use?

Welcome Everydaything !! I was pretty much on the same program of alcohol and benzos...I am 20 years older though...have been off both for 5 days now...having my ups and downs, but what motivates me most is...THE CONSEQUENCES...Physically, mentally, and spiritually, short and long term. This is a great place, so good luck !!
