Because I'm sick of quitting for a week or two at a time to convince myself that I can handle it and go right back to drinking for six months.
Because I love video games, horror movies, comic books and cooking and I'm sick of always being too drunk to be able to enjoy them.
Because I have a beautiful girl that I want to be good to and give the life she deserves; not constantly telling her I want to take her out or cook her dinner and then getting too drunk to do it.
Because I have a wonderful sister who is much younger than me, and her children deserve to have an uncle.
Because I have a wonderful mother and father whom don't deserve to have to bury their only son.
Because I love myself, and I'm a good person whom a lot of people care about. They don't deserve this.
