If you're working a job you hate to support a family you love, you aren’t making a sacrifice for your family. You're choosing this because you'd rather have your family eat dinner than not somehow tolerate your job for 40 hours a week. The desire to see your family go to bed with a full stomach outweighs that of quitting your dreaded job (if it means no more dinner for the family). Hence you choose to persevere. Call it a sacrifice if you will, but a choice if you realize the agency behind the things you do.
I get the sense that this may be a cultural difference, in that a sacrifice in the Western Christian tradition is a choice made between different options, with the understanding that you make this sacrifice for a greater purpose. Choices without sacrifice are ordinary decisions. But there can be no sacrifice without choice. If you don't have a choice, then it wasn't a sacrifice.
