Alcohol can add an extra nudge, and I don't need anymore momentum.

I have to give myself credit for being able to stop drinking during the last episode, since drinking is my MO when I'm hypo and I live with a severe alcoholic. I'm surprised that it's been so easy thus far.

Being sober gave me an element of CONTROL I wouldn't have had otherwise. I was struggling so much sober, I have no doubt I wouldn't be here if I kept drinking.

Aside from the obvious reasons I've decided to get sober, it will help my marriage because my husband won't have to worry about me going out drinking all night. He doesn't care if I drink, as long as I do it at home. He doesn't get it.
