I got sober because I was tired of;
Humiliation
Hangovers
Being rude to the ones that love me
Missing work
Not doing more things with my son - couch-bound hangovers
Not living a life out of a bar in my free time
Finding all the wrong people
Being around people who are also alcoholics
Being around negativity
Being around drama
Being talked about - the humiliating things I did
Possibly losing my career
Losing self-respect
Lack of healthy habits
Negativity Energy from the all the coke
The nose sores
Not having the ability to stop at 1
The overspending
The gambling compulsion-Seriously I could keep going, but I gather you understand I have a million little reasons, but I also have BIG reasons. It was all a compilation of ****, I no longer wanted to live with/in/around.
Whatever the reason, My worst day sober is better than my "best day" drunk- I am not even sure what day that is. But I can tell you about all my great days sober, and some not so great. Probably because I remember them in there entirety, down to how I was feeling.
I have gained so much, I see no reason to go backward in life. I like looking ahead at a bright, beautiful life!
