1 and 3 and 5, but 5 would be my top reason..... How could I ever live with myself if I lost the people I love the most because of a bottle?
And then I was almost afraid I would lose my hubby anyway, because he likes to drink. Not like I like to drink but he does like his drinks. I wasn't sure he understood. But then he up and quit with me, on his own, I didn't expect him to.

3 4 5 in that order. I knew that all along. I just recently accepted that and that's when it stopped being a struggle. That part of my life is over and I am glad. I know I have more work to do and I am willing to do it.

I think this survey is interesting in that I would select a different top three, now, 2 1/2 years into sobriety, than I did earlier on.
(And i wrote this survey haha)
I think maybe the beliefs necessary to stay sober might change as you go on?

May I ask which would be your top 3 now. I've chosen 1,3 and 5 and I am near the 12 month mark.

Kaneda, originally I picked 3,4 and 5.
But now 1, 2 and 6 have become important.
Probably cause now that I am sober and cleaned up my messes I am venturing into meeting new people.
I also moved to a new town so my AV likes to tell me I can't make friends if I am sober. It is such a liar. Lol
