Did you make a list about the reasons you wanted to get sober? That’s the first thing I did the night I realized that my addiction had damaged my relationship to my brother and his wife, almost to the point of no return.
I can’t find the list right now because I wrote it down in a notebook, but I’ll wing it.
I wanted to repair my relationships, lose weight, get more healthy, better my mental health, become more confident (that happened immediately after I made my choice to get sober).
I wanted to sleep better, get some control of my life, spend my time doing something more meaningful, get active in local stuff and make some new friends.
Didnt have a list the only reason i got sober was i was sick of being sick and i knew if i continued id probably die thought that was a good enough Reason i made new like minded friends by going to meetings wish you well
I am a list person for sure! I had 2 lists actually. 1 list was my reasons for quitting drugs and alcohol. My 2nd list was the consequences of what would happen if I used. I used the 2nd list more often, as it was a HUGE reminder of what would happen if I used.
I kept it in my phone so that I could read it wherever I was. Bcuz triggers/urges can happen at any time.
