What is keeping you sober tonight?
Me? My little pony is strutting herself in a circle of peace without drinking. Plus I am sicker than a turtle on steroids. I move from bed to bathroom to bed again. Go me!
So what say you?

It both is and isn't the ten kids at my house. The noise and chaos and stress is a definite trigger when I need quiet and an escape. On the other hand obviously drinking while responsible for other's kids is not an option.

I'm sorry you're sick. That sucks.
Let's see...house is clean, bought some plants to add to the garden, beautiful daughter, yoga tomorrow, hangover free coffee in the AM, cozy on the couch, clean sheets, clear eyes. Happy days. All would be overlooked or a mess if drinking.

My wife and I took a drive to this quaint restaurant on a lake 20 miles north of where I live, took the country roads back on a beautiful sunny spring, I'm a yard nazi so I worked outside all afternoon, took the dog for a walk. Now I'm pretty tired and pretty content. Probably will find some mindless dribble on TV and veg
Many worry if there is life after alcohol. I can tell you I had a great day and alcohol wasn't even on the radar. Recovery is about a new life not trying to make my old life work without alcohol

Tonight I'll stay sober because I'm stubborn. I'm also angry at my husband and son (big triggers), but my stubbornness wins out. I want to change my life so much right now, that even if he comes home with a bottle of wine to pacify (sabotage) me, it won't work. I'm angry and for good reason. I don't want to be that same person I was for almost 39 years. (I started drinking at 15 and I'm almost 54 now). So thank you for this fantastic, support. I think you're my life saver.
Sheer stubbornness keeping me sober tonight. It's a beautiful evening where I live, and I am proud to say I did everything I had on my mental "to do" list today.
The grill was going earlier, and H brought home a six pack of sweet water 420 beers, and I literally felt my mouth start to salivate. Now I am kind of hurt and angry about that stupid beer. I did just eat a "KIND" bar with chocolate on it to soothe the craving. Today is day 36.
