I think the switch was from I NEED to be sober to I WANT to be Sober.
How many threads are started with the statement how will this affect my social life, life will be boring or can I moderate, these statements are from the category of knowing you NEED to stop drinking but not really WANTING to stop.
It's a chore and a battle to do anything in life when you don't really WANT to do it, focusing on the benefits, being exciting to have a new Sober life and becoming happy to get rid of the old life I think is a very important part of recovery.
Shifting my mindset to looking forward to and wanting to do it was key for me!!
