I have to be sober and maintain it. I'm at a point in my life where I don't have a choice anymore if I still want to have a life. I had a taste of what it would be like if my family was gone after my wife left. Shes back now and I've been sober for days now and enjoying it. I hate the things I do/did while drinking. So much hard work lying and drinking myself into oblivian and not caring at the same time.

I want to be sober and I can say that I've never told myself that up until now that I need to not drink for the rest of my life. When I've thought about it in the past it seemed daunting, but not now it doesn't. I have to if I want to live, keep my jobs and my family.

I found the longer I drank the more things I was prepared to do to stay sober.
I hope this is a turning point for you Getitright

Getting that dose of no family and being by myself was scary. I want to do this more than ever now. Life was miserable and I hated every moment of it.

heh, this gave me a chuckle, mainly because it's so true. I wonder if the average person knows how much work goes into being an alcoholic? There is quite a bit of organization, management, and planning involved.

Welcome back to SR though, and hope you manage to stay sober.
