What keeps you sober? (After early sobriety "honeymoon" phase wears off)

My motivation to stay sober is not going through all this again. At this point if I found myself at day 1 again it might kill me…actually it probably WOULD kill me because I couldn’t face getting sober again so I’d just keep drinking until I was dead. I don’t want that….so I stay sober!!

I should also add…

Last night I was picking my daughter up at work at 10:30pm. In the past im 100% sure I would not have been able to stay dry all night to be ABLE to pick her up. I was actually thinking about this as I drove and it made me happy. I was HAPPY because I could be there for her, that she could count on me. That felt really effen good!!

For me, I’m sleeping better, feeling better, and even food tastes better. This might sound odd, but the other night I was watching a show I’d seen before, and I could remember how I felt the first time I watched it, drunk and miserable. I feel so much better now.
