I won't drink because I'm a better person without alcohol. Physically, mentally, emotionally, financially. There's nothing to be gained anymore from drinking, only things to lose

I won't drink today because I love my sober life and will not do anything to mess it up.

I love this thread. I've relapsed yet again. On day 3. I won't drink/drug today because it causes my blood pressure to be very high.

Because I've got 23 days, I'm proud of that and don't want to reset to zero.

I will not drink/drug today because I haven't worked out in a week and want to run and lift weights tomorrow.

It would just burn me up to let the bottle score another point. No way!

I like that word a lot better than teetotaller, abstainer or sober-type person. This pretty much covers the whole question right there.

I will not drink today because I refuse to EVER have another hangover. My worst day sober is 100 times better than my best hangover.

I won't drink today because I'm looking forward to 4 years of sobriety on July 10th.
I won't use cocaine today because I'm looking forward to 3 years free of it on September the 11th.
I won't smoke a cigarette today because I am looking forward to 2 years without them on June 5th.
I'm getting pretty darn good at staying on the correct path, and I'm rootin for everyone to do the same.

I won't have a drink today because I don't have to and I don't want to. I feel much better when I don't.
