I stay sober because I love waking up in the morning with a clear head. I am one year sober now. This past year I have began a transformation of my life for the better.
I spent 10 months in therapy. I quit my part time job and got a full time job that I love. And- I only had to go on one interview! It probably doesn't sound that big of a deal but it was, for me. As a drinker, I knew I couldn't handle a full time job because I could not focus. I now feel confident that I can think at all times. It's so nice to go to bed at night clear and guilt free.
So, when I get that hit to have a drink, I ask myself first if I want my job...the answer is always hell yes.
I love being productive.
