Simply, I was tired of the cycle and wasn’t truly living. Prof, you asked if the reasons for sobriety changed at all over time. I’ve focused a lot on proper diet and regular exercise which has given me confidence and overall well being. I know that if I go back to my old life I won’t be hitting the gym and I’ll start eating like crap again. So the focus on achieving my fitness goals is a new reason never to consume the poison again.
