Smile Why i NEED to stay sober

I though i would write down why i NEED to stay sober. If anyone would like to add then that would be good.


I NEED to stay sober becuase:

1 = For my daughter
2= For my boyfriend
3 = for my health
4 = for my reputation
5 = for my skin
6 = for my sanity
7 = for my mental health
9 = for myself
10 = for sobers sake
11 = for my friends
12 = for my family


Anyone like to add?

Take care, bonnie,xxx

I would say... shift #9 to the number one spot.. the rest looks good!

Best to you!

Hi Bons!

Perfect list - but I would have to second Anne and move no 9 to number 1!!!

However, when I first stopped I didn't actually feel I was worth it...that came with time.

I would add :

- To learn to know and experience peace
- To have a happy and fulfilling life
- To get back ALL of my self respect and more


You're doing great,
Cathy31

It is hard to put number 9 first, esspecially since i dont really like myself at the moment, but in time i hope to learn. Yeh i forgot about self respect! that has to go in. Also my confidence, i will add that to.

Thanks for the replys!

Take care, bonnie,xxx

Great list....all very good reasons to find the better life for yourself.

Embrace it with all you have.

Put yourself first, all else will fall into place.

They will tell you at meetings that they "will love you until you learn to love yourself." I found that comforting.
