The interesting thing is how it breaks down almost completely into a long term vs short term list. Reasons to drink are short term, only a few of the reasons to stay sober are short term, most are long term. That's the challenge I guess, fighting our wiring for immediate pleasure, and probably where I need to work on the breathing exercises/urge surfing/etc to slow things down.
