"I won't let myself relapse, because ...._______________"_
I won't let myself relapse because I feel certain I'd never make it back to sobriety again.

Yep, I waited soooo long in my life to acknowledge that I'm an alcoholic, I truly know there is no going out for me. I'll be 56 in a few months and I'm doing more than fine. I'm out of my kitchen and back out in real life, ups & downs. Loving getting my Spirit re-introduced to Bobbi (me)!

Because I'm aware of the consequences after being sober for many years, doubt I could get back and but for the grace of God haven't had a desire for many years which I know can change in a heartbeat. BE WELL

I won't let myself relapse because I don't want to be hungover and hating myself tomorrow. And struggling to find yet another Day one of not drinking. I'd prefer to wake up as I am this morning, clearheaded and focused, knowing my life is heading in the right direction and that I am making changes. If I were to drink today, all of that would be thrown out the window.

because...
...as much as I have learned from these past five plus months getting sober, I do not need to repeat them.
...I still have that overall foreboding feeling every time I look at a bottle of wine that I might not make it back next time or hurt someone else with/because of my addiction.
...I've learned how to make friends and laugh sober so the myth that I would have a boring life in sobriety has been soundly defeated (and I wouldn't want to lose those friends now, either).
...and, vainly, I look SO MUCH BETTER than I did six months ago. Looking in the mirror is no longer a forced exercise
