Reasons for fighting

  1. Feel less like a dirtbag

  2. Ignoring the problem has successfully done absolutely nothing helpful and it sucks.

  3. We’re all role models whether we like it or not.

  2. I’d like the authority of someone who’s at ease with themselves.

  3. It’s about time my values and my actions match.

  1. No point in giving up. It gives me nothing.

  2. Advice for anxiety seems to boil down to “run screaming at the thing”. I am anxious about quitting.

  3. Recovery isn’t a straight line, and I’m not a straight person. It’s a match made in heaven.

  2. I’m going to call my brother tomorrow and that requires some semb

  2. I don’t want this to keep changing me.

  3. For better sleep!! Yeah!

  1. To be a better mother to my kids.
  2. I can not control myself or the consumption of alcohol once I start.
  3. To not kill myself and my body by pouring poison in it.

  1. My life goals (I’m going to die either saying “I did want I set out to do” or “I drank a lot of martinis” because I can’t say both)
  2. My body, the toll it was beginning to take was showing in so many ways
  3. My money, I was giving my money to A-holes executives selling me their brand of poison.
