What motivates you?

What motivates me is my nephew. When i look at his innocent and cheerful face, it makes me quit alcohol and cigarettes for good.

No longer being a slave to a any chemical, being able to find fulfillment and happiness/success, escaping a constant inner war, living life on my own terms. Finding balance. And sleep is just amazing hahaha <3

What motivates me is my kids. I want to be there for them fully. No more falling asleep while we watch tv together. No more yelling at them and sending them to another room because their talking irritates my drunk mind. No more waking up at 2am feeling guilty because I would have been useless if they needed me in an emergency. They still need me to be their mom and I haven’t been a very good one the last few years.

Great question! My motivation for living addiction free is simply that. But that reason alone, unfortunately, tends to ebb away and lead to relapse. I found this app about a day after my latest relapse and hope that by engaging in this forum I get to 90 days addiction free–when I think I might achieve the frame of mind needed to gain more motivation.

What motivates me is:

The fear of dying
Not accomplishing anything useful in my life
Hope for being happy
My family
A brighter :high_brightness: future
Drugs and alcohol not controlling me on a day to say, hour to hour basis of need.
Other sober/clean people
