I will not drink today, or ever, because I have no desire to. The beast may want to but that doesn't matter at all to me. That's not my problem.

Because I want to go for a run tomorrow. And finish a kick ass book I'm reading.

xx

Because I like myself feeling clean inside and healthy.

I will not drink/drug today because...
 

...because I want to be nice to my liver. It has had a rough life and cant much more abuse.

... because I can bug-bomb the house just fine without it.

...because it's not an option.

...will not because I want to keep doing the next right thing, to live and be a productive member of society.

Because today I like being sober more than getting high.

Because the problem has been removed, it no longer exists, the thought never comes up.

...because the problem has been solved by :D me.

Because I'm having fun meeting new people and having lunch with them

....because living a life of recovery is the solution.

... because the benefits outweigh the detriments.

That and it is nicer to have all that cash in my pocket rather than seeing it swirling and vanishing down a toilet bowl.

because I have goals I cannot accomplish if smashed all the time.

because that sh*t is stupid.

...because I like to have money of rent and live with a roof over my head.

because I'm soberlicious. There is no such thing as drunkalicious.

Because I don't want to go to school hungover again.

Because I want to get up early and run tomorrow.

Because today I have ambition.
