I keep on remembering how hard it was in the beginning and never wanting to go through that again. I also remember all the benefits I've gotten from quitting drinking, how I no longer worry about my health, and how I can be at peace with myself since sometimes crap just happens versus it being due to alcohol. I keep on remembering if I was to continue, it's a matter of when as to getting physically addicted to it. I also keep on remembering alcoholic kindling with relapsing with alcohol and then trying to get sober again.
