I think about how I am when I drink and that's what stops me from picking up those keys and drowning myself yet again. Being sober, even for one day forces me to face the dangerous, stupid and hurtful things I've done, I think that's the hardest part. Maybe tomorrow will be better I tell myself, maybe it won't. All I know is I don't want to live in this place anymore.
You don't have to live there. Sobriety has a way of letting you see the world for what it is, and it's much better than my AV led me to believe.

Hang in there!
