Hello, miss. Welcome to SR.
For me, staying sober means my bowel movements stay mostly normal (it was scary before), my heart doesn't do premature beats or race nearly as much as it used to, I have a clear mind, I'm saving a lot of money (going to buy a car soon), I got a promotion after I became sober, I'm taking care of my depression, and I have a game plan to better my life. None of this would have been possible if I was still drinking.
It's not easy. Good, solid change takes a long time. I still cry a lot, but I'm optimistic. I'm dealing with all the pain I avoided for a long time. Hang in there. You are not alone.
Take it easy.
