I am not drinking because ____________.
Today is 31 days. My last day of the first month mark. I feel good. I feel a little on the somber side, maybe that is not the right word. Maybe I should say I feel mellow. Yeah, that sounds better.
I have had some big wins this month. Without drinking I have made it through the last month of summer. I have made it through the end of July. I have made it through the end of fireworks and the summer concert series. Most importantly I have made it through the pre-season and fantasy football drafts.
I have made it through dinners and cookouts and beaches and swimming pools.
Tomorrow starts a new calendar of events. Labor Day weekend and the full kickoff to football season. I can take this one day at a time, but I have to be practical and also plan ahead. I have to set goals and remind myself that "I am not drinking because _____________."
I am not drinking because I want to be Healthy.
I am not drinking because I do not want to live with paranoia and anxiety.
I am not drinking because I will be 45 next year.
I am not drinking because I want to run a marathon.
I am not drinking because I want to be sober when my wife is pregnant.
I am not drinking because I want to be strong.
I am not drinking because I want to live.
I am not drinking because I want to always be happy.

Congratulation on 31 days of sobriety and also for being commited to the reasons why you are not choosing to drink. In the challenging days, and there will be challenging days lol, lean on the support here and also remember those reasons why you are not drinking and those things should get you through.

Those are excellent reasons for staying sober. Congrats on the 31 days! Excellent achievement.
I am not drinking because alcohol is my worst enemy.
I am not drinking because I want to learn.
I am not drinking because I don't want to waste away life anymore.
