Did a pet help lead you to sobriety?

As my bio reads, I'm a self-proclaimed crazy cat lady. That being said, I owe much of my sobriety to my cats. My male cat would sleep beside me through bender after bender while my female cat slept snugly around my neck. Whether they knew it or not, and most likely did not, they were keeping me alive. The only motivation I had to crawl out bed was to take care of my cats. I fed and watered them every day, but after at least 4 days of neglecting the litter box, I decided I (and they) had enough. My cats depend on me. If I didn't have that responsibility, I'm not so sure I would have ever sobered up. Did a pet help you in any way??
