What do you guys say to yourselves or others to help stay sober and motivated?

I usually tell myself that a normal, happy, and healthy person doesn't need a handful of opiates..that's what a crazy person needs.

Actually.. more like "It's NOT normal to need a handful of pills to function."

Good question, Jimmy.

I tell myself that this is the only body I am given during this life here on earth and I better treat it right. This helps me have the mindset that I don't want to put bad chemicals or bad food in it and put good things in instead.

I tell myself: Take care of yourself. You'll feel a whole lot better and be happier if you do...and that means to stay away from drugs and alcohol.

I tell myself what I don't want to end up like.

I tell myself I want peace, sweet peace and I know I can't have that with addiction.

I tell myself I want to sleep better at night, so I'd best be careful what I ingest during the day/evening.

I tell myself I don't want to damage my brain.

I tell myself that I enjoy all life has to offer a whole lot more if I'm not addicted to drugs or alcohol.

Just for today I'm not going to use drugs. No matter what happens. No matter how I feel.

I make the same decision every day.

These are actually a lot better than some of the mantras I've heard at meetings.. thank you guys. I usually say a few at meetings to help others.

The whole "it works for me, it'll work for you" thing is powerful.

Love you guys.
