Reasons for quitting drinking
1. I won't be having benders until 6am.
2. I won't risk losing my license the next morning.
3. Daughter will have discipline and routine. She will have a more present mother.
4. My soulmate will not have to disconnect from me.
5. My health will be improved.

1. Alcohol is everywhere!
2. It's hard to change my current routine and associations due to ongoing responsibilities.
3. My decision to stay sober can change in an instant.

I want to continue to be sober so:
1) I don't die (I agree-pretty important one!)
2) My depression can have a good chance of lifting
3) I can keep my beloved teaching job, and be the excellent teacher I know I can be
4) To be a stable part of my amazing relationship
5) To be a good friend to those people who care about me
6) To be present in my family again
7) To have financial security
8) To be reliable
9) To carry the message to other alcoholics
Reasons to worry:
1) I am an addict- but addictions can be beat
2) I am a chronic relapser- but this could be the last time!
I have AA, God, SR, friends and my family to support me- sounds like a winning combination if I let myself but my sobreity before anything!
Thank God I am alive today and sober Just for today!
