LDT

......because I already did that...got the T-Shirt...and it didn't fit .

Happier

I will never be the person my HP has planned for me.
I will never help anyone else who may have problems with addiction.
I will never have the character and integrity that I want to develop.
I will never truly experience life.

Oh yeah, and I will never do another triathlon. (..we need small less significant goals too!)

lookingforher

because I'll end up smoking cigarettes too

DG0409

because I'm afraid it would kill me.

Dustyboots

I'm too damn happy to numb myself again

Coldfusion

I would be letting down my fellows at AA and NA.

Deckard

....because I didn't just stop drinking. I became a non-drinker.

bloss

Because I don't want to hurt myself anymore

Silvy69

No more hangovers, no more bloated body, no more fog... I have a brain now ..... No more regrets and most importantly no more vicious cycle of guilt ......... Having a drink is not an option.....

Twoworlds12345

because of what i lost while drinking. what i couldnt do, what i was sacred to do. ive come so far and my life has opened up to me. i dont want to lose that again. im 24 years old, i lost my teenage years and my early 20's to this poison, im not doing the same to the rest of my life

safeandsound

I won't fall for that lie again. The illusion of happiness.

Carlotta

alcohol is a depressant. I came very close to committing suicide and if I relapse, there is a very real possibility that I will.

DG0409

I don't want to waste any more money on drugs and alcohol.

ReadyAtLast

because I never want to go back to the pain and feeling of utter hopelessness, helplessness, guilt, shame and fear of being back at day 1 yet again

trikyriky

Because if I do I'll either end up homeless , in jail , an institution or dead . I'll lose my friends & family . I'll lose my health and self respect . Lost enough of that already. No I'm done

deeker

Cuz I don't want to lose my connection to God. Last time I relapsed I was devastated that this wall seemed to go up between he and I , and I put it there.


Also cuz I have a responsibility and passion for the 24 hour club and it's members. Need to be consistently doing the next right thing.

Don't wanna give up my peace and joy.

Itchy

Because my self respect is more addictive than alcohol ever was for me.

EternalQ

Because if i drank then a good day could never be really good again
And a bad day would be hell.

DG0409

because I still don't think I've gotten over all the brain damage from the last time.

Eleni58

I don't want to have to start all over again because I worked so hard to get where I'm at and do not want to go through withdrawal symptoms again. Most of all--because I owe to myself, my kids and grandchildren to be alive and healthy for me and them!
