Reminders of Why You're Sobering Up
Reminders of Why You're Sobering Up

In the past, I've done soo many stupid things while intoxicated. I'm a big victim of drunk dialing, even drunk emailing. Text messaging has got to be the worst thing technology has created for drunks. One time I even emailed President Bush expressing my anger about past inventions that have disappeared and how we could be doing something worthwhile about the energy crisis. I said I was going to do everything I could to reduce the consumption of energy, with or without him! Now I realize how stupid that was, I was looking out for calls from the secret service and such for a few weeks after that. Now that I think about it, everything I did while drunk was stupid, so I remind myself of such incidents to stay motivated to remain sober haha.

I also remind myself of all the stupid things I've done drunk. But also i remind myself of the dissapointment in my families eyes when they found out about me drinking. Thats what keeps me motivated.

The promises I've made are what keep me motivated. I promised my family, my friends and God. And thats what keeps me motivated. I've disappointed many people with my useless drinking habit. But I'm glad I'm past that. I've also done some very stupid and embarrassing things, and gotten quite a few bruises out of it as well.

After a heavy night of drinking, I always regret it the next day. My problem is when I'm having fun, I don't keep track of how many drinks I've had. And the next day, I can't recall what happened the last hour or so of the party. I've slowly learned that it's more fun to just stick with fruity drinks and not get drunk!

A big motivating factor for me has been my mind power. After quitting drugs even after just a month I realized the difference in my memory and I was better able to manage my relationships. I don't want to loose the new sober friends I've gotten and I most importantly don't want to digress. I only want to keep moving forward and improve myself every single day.
