I am very new to sobriety. But here is just part of my list of reasons to stay sober:
1. I get very ill when I STOP drinking.
2. Every binge results in a trip to the hospital for withdrawal.
3. I make an idiot out of myself when I drink.
4. I lose out on career opportunities.
5. I ruin relationships.
6. I don't take care of myself at all.
7. Withdrawal is just plain he!!.
8. When I'm sober, I wake up without a hangover.
9. When I'm sober, I make better decisions.
10. If I don't ever drink again, I won't ever drink and drive again.
Not necessarily in that order. That's just off the top of my head. Alcohol never made anything better, it just made me feel worse. Worse and worse and worse...
