Because I feel so much healthier, and I can face life better sober.

Why do you want to stay sober today?

Because I know that any sense of purpose and usefulness that I feel in this moment would disappear with the first drink, the first pill, the first line, the first hit.

I have received many gifts and blessings in sobriety that I know would disappear upon picking up. That's not something I'm willing to risk over a feeling that is transient at best.

Peace & Love,

Why do i want to stay sober today? Because
it's that important to me that I do so.

Years ago my life was unmanageable. I
was a mess. I did things that I soon
regretted. I was ashamed of.


Today I don't have to feel that way.

Today life is simplier, which is what I
want. Complicating my life was more
work than i needed.

SIMPLICITY...I like that word. : )

I like and im learning to love myself
more today. I'm....

WORTH IT....SELF WORTH


APPRECIATION....Today I appreciate
things, people, places just as they
are suppose to be.

And most of all....

Today I have a FAITH more stronger
than it ever was....not that I never
had it....its just stronger and more
meaningful today for me.

My BELIEF in a POWER GREATER THAN
i today can guide me, protect me and
comfort me and give me the STRENGTH
I need to stay sober ODAAT.

Thanks for a wonderful topic BrandiK...

And thanks for letting me share my own ESH.

Because I have a light in my eye again and I don't ever want that to fizzle out again... but that is only 1 of the many reasons.. I think I'll have to make my post a continuation throughout the day.

Because i know i am happier today than i have ever been before in my life. Because i know as soon as i take that first drink i am powerless and the cycle will start all over. Because i know, that maybe next time i won't make it back.
