. . . because I had the most relaxing weekend not drinking. Got to get up and run both Saturday and Sunday, eat well, spend quality time with my family, do things that would be IMPOSSIBLE when hungover or searching for my next drink, and look back and be thankful for a great weekend and know that my loved ones feel the same way. That's what I'm grateful for!!

Because I just made it through the storm. I have a high GPA in school, and I can not give up. I will not relapse because I see all the pain that is associated with drinking on this forum and out in the world, and I will not be in that much pain again. I believe in myself.
I don't believe it is within my power to say that I will never relapse. I do believe it is within my power to do what I need to do on a daily basis to ensure that I do not relapse. I will do today what I do everyday. I pray to my higher power for a day to sobriety, talk to another alcoholic, and go to an AA meeting. Then God willing tonight I thank him for the day of sobriety he has granted me. Repeat
This simple formula has worked out for over 1100 days
To be completely honest I go to four AA meetings a week but tonight I'll be going to a meeting.

I won't let myself relapse because I am a now a nicer, far less selfish person and a much better partner than I used to be. I've started living in the 'now' and making magical memories rather than passing out and killing brain cells.
And I've read too much about kindling to ever want to go there!
