Trains of thought, personal philosophies, quotes, books, religious views, etc, etc. What keeps you personally from darting toward the beer cooler at a gas station or your local liquor store?
The reminder that I’m a loser when I drink haha

But, on a more real note. I just think about all of the positive changes that have come since I stopped drinking.

The feeling of hopelessness, guilt, embarrassment when I used. Yea, feels good for a minute or two, but, I try to remember all the bad ish that goes with it.

Thats a really good perspective to have. 
How long have you been improving your life for?
The anxiety! Awful feeling

Remembering that I will massively regret my decision in the morning if I do opt to drink…I get really bad “hangxiety” and depression that lasts for up to a week after drinking, and the physical hangovers themselves are horrific now since I’m not constantly pouring booze down my throat. I hate wasting a day (or days), and booze makes me do just that. I enjoy being productive, I thrive on it.
Also remembering the fact that every time I do drink, it NEVER ends up being what I drummed it up to be in my head. It’s disappointment, every time, and then I hate myself for it. Sounds like a good time, eh?
I’m just so settled with the fact that I am truly better off without it, just like I’m truly better off never eating mayonnaise again because I hate it. I am happier, I can go about my life without guilt or fear, and I never need to worry about waking up with a hangover ever again or worrying about what I said or did. I wake up clear-headed and free.

Mayonnaise makes me feel icky. It’s like a bad touch. 
I’ve tried so many times to become sober. I hope Sober Time can help me kick the alcohol for good!

Drinking is simply not an option anymore…and if that doesnt work, I think of all the stupid stuff i would do drunk. (My apologies in interrupting the train of thought that was going, should have read the thread before I responded)
