MIRecovery

I quit drinking to save my life.....and when I did I found my soul.

Words from Recovery Girl

Jsbodhi

To live my life to the fullest and be able to become the person I wanted to be.
Drinking was a roadblock to that.
Like Dee says- I couldn't do both

least

I quit drinking to be a better mom to my dogs and cats. And in the process, I became a better human being.

Soberwolf

I quit drinking because drinking would of quit me

Best decision I've ever made in my life

MelindaFlowers

I quit drinking to heal my liver and brain.

I quit drinking to succeed at my career.

I quit drinking so I would no longer have a hangover every day.

To borrow from Dee.......

I could either keep drinking or have a healthy and good life.

I couldn't do both. Had to choose.

Fly N Buy

I quit drinking to get others off my back. At some point early on, I came to understand that I liked being sober more than being drunk. My life started to improve and my perceptions of the world around me started to change.

Slowly, misery was supplanted by some joy. Remarkable.
I think I'll stay on this side of the fence!

SweatyHands

I quit drinking to be sober. It seems so obvious now, but I never thought about how simple being sober would be if I just quit.

MelindaFlowers

Right on man!

I felt like I was taking the easy way out by stopping. Life without alcohol and hangovers is immensely easier.

HeartsAfire

I quit drinking in order to be the woman, mother, wife, daughter and friend I was always meant to be - my authentic self. There was no way I could live up to my potential while stuck on the drunk merry-go-round.

Venecia

Pretty much what others said, though I've not been a pet owner for quite some time.

What I wanted more than anything else? To regain my self respect.

ICanDoBetter

... Stop and reverse the downward spiral that I had put into motion

Soberwolf

Bump

Aellyce

...to get out of my own way and really live.

ItWillBeWorthIt

I quit drinking to get the life back I once had.

I knew how wonderful living in a sober world was and needed to fix a stupid mistake of picking up. 10 months of sobriety and I am getting it back.

I also quit because I would have died at an early age with great misery.

strategery

I quit because I wanted to live my life to my best potential versus it being handicapped by alcohol.
