that i didn't have to want to get clean, but i had to choose to make a change. i don't know why, but that seemed to mkae more sense than the way i'd been thinking. i kept thinking, i want to, but i don't. and i know i have to make the choice every day to be clean. i think it helps to want it, though. =]
