Why now?

My next rehab homework assignment was to write a 3 page paper titled “Why now?”. The first half explains what brought me to this point and why I want to change. The second half details what my life would be like in 6 months if I didn’t get help. In the first part, I detailed most of the horrible incidents that led to me starting rehab. The second part was Obvious but hard to write. I clearly would have ended up dead or in jail, and I would have lost my family and my job.
