How have you changed since quitting?
Another way I've changed greatly is that I am pretty happy now. I used to be horribly depressed. I am on meds for depression, and now that I'm sober, they work as they should to keep the depression at bay.

I've been thinking about how sobriety allows me to be much more self reflective. I have a tendency to be kind of arrogant and reactionary and I'd like to change those qualities. I don't notice it while I'm doing it, but later when I think about how I behaved I think how I wish I had dialed myself down a few notches. When I was drinking there was little time or inclination to consider these things. I guess I think more about my role and reactions to life. I overreact sometimes and I don't know why. I wonder if it's anxiety or insecurity that makes me do that?
I am quieter, I mind my own business, I don't push my way into other peoples business giving unasked for advice.
I think before acting. I am proactive rather than reactive.
I see red flags and move away from them instead of being drawn like a magnet towards them.
