Give Us Two Reasons Why You WILL NOT Drink Tonight
 

The weekend is here! And we all know how wonderful a Friday night after a long week of work is for us sobering souls! <---sarcasm..

Anyway maybe we can all share two reasons why they won't drink tonight!

Mine are-


1) Because watching the sunrise after a good nights sleep is wonderful.
2) The money saved from drinking can be used for a nice Saturday lunch date with my wife!

Anyone else?

1) I know how that story ends
2) I don't like how that story ends

1) Because it's no longer an option for me.

2) Because i don't want to die.

1. I refuse to start over.

2. I want to be how I want to be!!!

I dont drink as i am Alcoholic ..I accept that

Im 16 Months sober today

1.) I have an 8:15am Les Mills Body Pump Class to go to and then a bit of treadmill time.

2.) I want to avoid the usual self-loathing session that always occurs after I end up giving in to my AV and drinking.

1. I have a 5k race tomorrow.
2. I can't just stop & will continue drinking for days

I'm going to Tahoe today with 3 sober friends.

I want to wake up in Tahoe tomorrow with 3 sober friends. =)

1. I'm going to be the designated driver.
2. I really really don't want a drink or 100!

1. No room in fridge for beer cause the ginger ale and Fresca are in the way
2. Guy who owns liquor store is an arse and I hope he starves!

1. I'm gonna watch "Constantine" on NBC, and I wanna remember everything that bloody ******** says. Because he is the greatest.

2. Alcohol is for squares, the cool kids are drinking peppermint tea.

1. i want to get up early and go play in the mountains tomorrow.

2. I want to play some sweet video games tonight and read a book.

edit

1. I am learning to love myself.

2. I want to help others achieve sobriety.

1. I kind of like understanding what people are saying when they are talking to me.
2. I have plans for Christmas.

1. It is much easier to stay sober than to get sober
2. God is doing for me what I can not do for myself.

Someone mentioned coming to Tahoe sober. Hey, I live at Tahoe!

1. It's going to kill me if I don't stay stopped.
2. I love life, so see #1.
3. Tired of what the booze has done to my appearance. Ready to look radiant and fit again.

AMEN!!
I love your #2!!
If I started today, no doubt it would go far beyond Christmas!! Good one...

1. I want to experience life awake not blunted.
2. I've maxed out my body's resources-Russian Roulette is over.

1) I just spent the day with my parents, niece and nephew. Wouldn't have been possible if in was still drinking, I'd have cancelled or dragged myself along hungover. Instead was fresh and in the moment and laughing and so grateful!

2) I am loving sobriety. I am enjoying having a clean home, waking up without a hangover or withdrawals, being responsible, honouring my commitments, going to meetings, working with my sponsor and being part of life.


One day at a time.
