1. As being the main thing that got you sober!
The realization that I could not control my drinking, my fears about sober living were unfounded and life really would be better without alcohol.
2. The main reason you STAY sober now?
I was right. Life is better
I also have children (2, soon to be 3) and in spite of all my denial over the past 5 years there really is no such things a good, alcoholic mother. My children deserve a good mother.
