1. Because I was hurtful and abusive to my husband and children.
2. Because I would black out and not remember large portions of time.
3. Because I had to start drinking before I got out of bed in the morning in order to avoid the shakes, etc.
4. Because I was wasting my life away ... not achieving goals I'd set for myself, hiding in the house all day and avoiding people.
5. Because my children were embarrassed by my behavior when they had friends over.
6. Because I got tired of waking up in the morning feeling horrible and wondering how I was going to get through the day.
7. Because it stopped being "fun".
8. Because of the guilt, the shame, the disgust and hopelessness of it all.
9. Because I realized that at the rate I was going, I wasn't going to live much longer.
and finally ...
10. Because I finally reached a point where I wanted NOT to drink more than I wanted TO drink.
Congrats on your two months!
