For me, its the yearning to have a baby. My biological clock is ticking, but I refuse to start a family til I've at least been clean for a full year. 12 years of addiction has put up a serious roadblock on that aspect. I was 2 days into withdrawals in 2010, but it wasn't my choice (i just ran out), so i caved the moment i got a call from a dealer and have been using daily ever since.

I'll admit this is something I think about.
I'm 32, now my mom had me in her early 30s too, but still... Seems late, and also.. I'm nowhere near being in a place in my life to be having kids.

But it's not like there's unlimited time.

Thing is.. Even if I were clean, or decided to have a kid on methadone. I just can't see my future being stable enough.

And I hate it when people have kids for selfish reasons.
 
A family of my own is my only drop dead reason to quit.

People in NA say noo do it for youu.

Eat shit IDC about myself but a daughter? A wife?

Game changer.
 
The answer is being sober makes me want be sober. It is obviously better state to be in. But feelings come on, real hard-ass problem hit and short-term solution that works is drugs.
 
If the needle clinic would stop injecting me forcibly with antipsychotics i.e. invega I would drink far less because I would be out exercising again or at least trying without exercise being difficult.
