I will not drink today because we have applied for parental responsibility for my G.son and I want to be sensible, sane and respectful. I want him to be proud of me when he grows up.

Reason 1) I like the interwebs, and last time I drank, within a week I'd broken my new laptop and stopped paying my bills and was internet-less for 4 months.... But now I have a cool new Nexus 7 with unlimited 4G and I want it to remain intact...

Reason 2) I'm incapable of a relationship when drunk, and Valentine's Day was a reminder of that...

Because I will drive drunk to get more, I will then get drugs.

He will leave me .

I will probably get my 4th DUI.

I may not be so lucky and actually kill someone this time .

I will go to jail for the 8th time .

I will put up a wall between me and my Higher power.

Nah! I really like be clean and sober . I have no guilt, no fear, just peace today and it is really pretty darn nice .

I Will Not Today Because.......

..........It would just be nonsense. I went for years and fought tooth and nail and slipped and slid, prayed, was treated, miss-treated and had a hard time "getting" it. Today, it is pretty simple and I keep it simple. It is really just nonsense for me to drink.

Drinking does nothing for me, but immediately create and anxious rush, that perpetuates into a quick spiral of drinking out of control. It has almost always been that way, most every time. There are some many other things I can do that are enriching that it just doesn't make any sense to me to drink any longer. It has been that way now for quite some time. Praying did not do this for me, a mystical being did not do this. It was just putting one foot in front of the other and trying to do the next right thing until things began making sense.

Because I would rather die than wake up and feel how I felt all day yesterday after drinking Friday night.

I know each day gets a little better.

I will not drink today because I have the strength to get through another sober night
I do not want to drink today because I need to learn to love my sober self and I can't do that if I'm drunk.

I will not drink today because I don't want to have to fight to get sober again. It's simply not worth it.

because it never even crossed my mind today to do so.

because if it had crossed my mind, I never ever want to go back there. Life is just too much better outside of that rabbit hole.
