As our beloved CarolD used to say: you have to want to be sober
more than you want to drink. It took me a lot of failures to finally get to that point. But since I made that decision, I've been sober for 9 yrs now, and loving it.
I love being awake and aware when I should be.
I love waking up each morning feeling good.
I love that I finally respect myself again.
I love being responsible. I take wonderful care of my cats and dog and their happiness and health are another benefit of staying sober.
I hope you'll be able to stay sober long enough to feel the benefits. It takes a while sober before you start to feel better.
