I don't think it matters what your initial motivations for getting sober are, but I've learned that once sobriety is achieved, other reasons emerge for staying sober.
I've been to AA. Some people with long term sobriety started their journey with court mandates, ultimatums from spouses/families, but ultimately they claimed sobriety for their own.
My reason for getting sober was to lose weight. The weight came off and I realized I liked sober me. I have slipped but never for more than 3 days. In the last 5 years, I have had way more sober than drunk time. I like it that way.
