I'm only 4 months into sobriety so far.
Not really all that big of a talker when it come to the boards here.
But,for me,I started to notice things about myself that I didn't like.
Drinking was effecting all aspects of life and it was getting much worse.
The future looked really bleak as I couldn't seem to string together many days of sobriety.
Back in 2007 I went 14 month without drinking and made the mistake of trying to "manage" my drinking. BIG failure.
So this time I plan to stay away from alcohol completely.
Maybe it as simple as reaching a point in my life that alcohol and getting drunk all the time just old. Almost as it a grew out of it.
