I am willing to put the time and effort into staying sober as I did drinking. If I was willing to do it for booze I am willing to do it for sobriety. If I drink I will lose everything I love and cherrish including my life.

This mindset has kept me sober for a few 24 hours and I have been rewarded with a life better than I could have dreamed.
