1. Next day regrets… having to ask my husband or friend what happened that night because I literally have forgotten HOURS of time by the time I wake up with a hangover and confusion.
2. Take better care of myself which in turn is setting a good example for my 4 children.
3. I’m awesome, and the world deserves the best version of me. Pay it forward occasionally.

1. I can’t imagine to what depths I’ll sink if I were to stop fighting. I can’t do that.
2. I want to have someone close to me, and I don’t want this to interfere.
3. I enjoy feeling like a whole person.

1. Near failures scare me so freaking bad. They mess me up. This isn’t just a nasty habit it’s hurting me.
2. I’ve only got so much energy and I don’t want to waste it here.
3. What I “gain” is nothing compared to everything I lose.

1. There’s no room in my life or my destruction for this. In neither place do I want it around.
2. My mother supported my healing. She’d want me to heal.

1. The best way to believe in being more is to achieve being more.
2. I’m sick of feeling scared of what other people will do with my life. I’m sick of being scared of what I’ll do with my life.
3. Ever since mom died, nothing has felt like home. I need to find home, and it isn’t fermenting here.

This is an awesome ideal and I think it would do me some good to do it too. Thanks for sharing another tool to help stay sober. 🙂️
My 3 reasons for fighting today are:
1. I want to win this losing battle I’m having with depression and I can’t do it drunk.
2. I need to be here for my son.
3. I love my job and want to keep it.

1. To be more present
2. To notice/remember the little things that used to make me smile but have gone unnoticed while intoxicated
3. For my body to find it’s natural balance again. ( sleep patterns, hormonal patters, natural tiredness, natural wakefulness, true joy, happiness, sadness, anger, love, self value…)

To be the best Mummy I can be
To be a good/loving/caring partner
To keep my mind at rest
For my health (mental and physical)
To stay out of trouble
To stay safe
To build my bank balance even further…
