- Remembering everything I did and said the next day.
- not wanting to be depressed

- Making the closest people to me proud.
- Breaking a generation curse
-
It’s going to suck so much more if I gotta go through all of this again.

I know I’m better than this
-
If I went back in time and chatted with mini me they’d be disappointed. I want to tell them I overcame my ugliest demons.

No matter how many times I relapse I’m just going to start over again. Might as well make it count and stick to it.

I don’t want to question what I’d do in environments that could trigger my addiction.

I’ve done a lot more art and work since I’ve been clean for a while. Wanna keep it up.
-
Addict behavior is some toxic stuff I’m trying to remove from my life.

I don’t want to feel like this.
-
I don’t want this to be a focus in my life.

I want to be proud of myself.

I have stuff I want to accomplish. This is holding me back

There are other ways to feel alive and I’m gonna find them.

My baby sprouts are coming up and I want to take good care of them, not neglect them.

I’m trying to take better care of myself so that I can function better. Part of that is working on this.

I’m getting tired of doing the same things over and over.

I can accomplish great things. I just need to start, and I might be slow, but I’ll succeed eventually. I can succeed now.

This addiction goes against all my values.

I’m building a more long term fulfilling life by working slow than I am with my addiction.
-

I’ll hurt myself like this.

Giving in to the addition is pointless. It’ll never bring what it promises. It’ll never be enough.

I want to have more respect for myself.

I’d like a way to get out of my funk days, I’m thinking breaking out of this will give me some ideas.

Tomorrow is Sunday. I’d like to keep it clean.
You created a great topic.
- I love waking up without hangover.
- I want to face life and all it’s issues clear minded and sober to make progress and right decisions.

My reasons for fighting are…
1 - My mood/feelings are more stable.
2 - Waking up without that groggy still drunk feeling
3 - I have lots more energy.
-
I want to find healthy ways to feel alive, I need to look outside my addiction.
-
I don’t want to hate myself anymore.
-
I’d like to feel more confident in public areas.
Day 1 again. Hope to get farther this time.

It’s never that great.

It takes an edge of happiness out of my day, no matter how hard I try to get back to normal.
-
I want to be able to focus on other things besides this.

I’m not the same person that started this road. I’m better. And when I end this I’ll be even better.

I’ll be able to relax better at night without this hanging over me.

Feel better in my body.
-
Feel better in my mind.
-
Freedom of choice.
-
I like myself a lot more than I did before.

I’m beginning to understand myself better, like the reasons I turn to this addiction. Understanding has helped me work on these things.

There are trials that used to be a huge part of my life, and now I’ve laid them to rest. One day I’ll be able to lay this one to rest as well, I hope.
My reason for today and every other day ( one year sober) are my sons.
- I never want to hurt them as I have done in the past.
- I want them to be proud and happy about their mom.
- I want to set a good example for them.
-
I don’t want to be scared of a relapse every time I’m feeling low
-
I want to be a place of strength and support and sympathy for people I love, I can’t do that if I’m disconnected and failing.
-
This addiction creates too many flaws in my mindset.
