day 11: What motivated you to enter recovery?

I feel as though I have allready spoken a lot about who and what has motivated me to recover so I will just list my main motivators and give a single sentence or two explaing why they have been motivational to me to enter recovery. I will also provide the link to the posts that I have already written which are relevant.

Reading posts from people who had successfully recovered made me realise that recovery was possible and reading posts from people who were still trying to recover, motivated me to be brave enough to start recovering myself. You can read more about these motivators in the following posts;
