Words are very powerful. Have any of you had a particular phrase or quote that sealed the deal with sobriety?

"I am an alcoholic"

From the amazing Maya Angelou "I did then what I knew how to do. Now I know better, I do better."

"I don't drink anymore."

LadyBug66

I had posted once that I was afraid that I wasn't fun anymore or I wouldn't have fun anymore since I quit drinking. Someone replied. "yeah, that's why you quit and your are here is because you were so fun" At first I was like.... ouch!..... then I realized...... so true so true

Einstein:"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

That's what I was doing, I kept drinking and saying I'd stop on this day or that day but I'd always buy too much/there'd be leftover booze or I'd simply go out and buy more. Then I'd get drunk, regret it and start the circle over again.

In terms of my drinking a quote that always stuck with me was " one is way to many and a thousand is not enough"
