Living Sober Sucks (but living drunk sucks more) By: Mark A. Tuschel   

One of the main goals of living sober is to not drink. But without other goals, living sober can feel like a waste of time and it can suck. You want your life to improve and I would like to help you learn to make sobriety pay off for you. Use your newfound sober time to make your life better by setting goals and working towards accomplishing them.

Many alcoholism sites just remind you of how bad you are and that you need help. Well I want to give you ideas on how to help yourself - for FREE.

Here is an example of how I lay out a goal. There are two different styles, but they have the same text. Use whichever style works best for you. You can use this goal writing technique for small goals, large goals and lifelong goals. I hope this sparks some great ideas of your own.

Writing your goals is never a waste of time. Even if you only get 50% of the way to accomplishing a goal, that's success! And it's far better than never starting.
