Because I am just a little bit sore from my new exercise program and that is a very good thing!

... because it's homecoming weekend in town and there will be plenty of drunks out and about. No need for one more!

...because I have family coming from out of down and I don't want to see them when I'm hungover.

Because I'm starting to get into a groove/good phase here, and derailing myself is not an option (or at least a good one!)

I will not drink today because I'm happy and optimistic. Alcohol makes me depressed.

I will not drink today because I'm so much happier sober and I refuse to go back to that Dark Lonely Place...

... because it's so much more fun to be clean and sober.

I will not drink today because there are lots of other things I can do instead. And they won't leave me in a miserable place on Tuesday morning for work!

I will not drink today because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darnit, people LIKE me!

I did not drink today because... I didn't want to. That's all.

I will not drink today because I don't want to go backwards. And in circles.

because it's not a good idea. I hope I can maintain that thought again tomorrow. Times are tough.

Andisa, welcome to Secular Connections! Worry about tomorrow when it gets here, today all you need to worry about is today. And if that seems too much, just think that you can make it through the next hour, and then worry about the hour after that when it gets here. You can do it! The first few days can be rough though; it sucks, no doubt about it. But better things are ahead when you make it past the rough spots. Look around, and if it is helpful we'd love to hear how you're doing!

Today I won't use because I don't need it anymore.

Welcome to SC andisa:-) I know it sucks but gneiss gives good advice. I have the worlds worst cold and am miserable ...I've always treated illness with alcohol in the past...now I am happy to be sober and miserable...lol.

I will not drink today because I am on my way home where I will take drugs (the legal kind), have some soup And go to bed!

I will not drink today because I want to experience everything with a clear head and not fog up my brain.

I will not drink today because I have the flu. And the thought of alcohol puts a bad taste in my mouth.
