I am almost five and a half years sober and my motto during early recovery was wanting to be sober
more than I wanted to drink. That got me thru a lot.
I also had the help of an addiction counselor.
My big reward comes every morning when I wake up feeling good. I used to wake up feeling like death warmed over and hating myself. I no longer hate myself and look forward to waking up feeling good and ready to start the day.
