life has become less chaotic

Since quiting the drink some 3.5 months ago my life has settled down and become alot easier in many ways. I no longer have to deal with killer hangovers. No more checking beer supply's and where my next drink is coming from. I have become more sociable and caring for others. I think when I first quit saying never again to drink was hard but stuck with it and enjoy being sober more each and everyday. I no longer have to worry or think about causing trouble for my family. Anxiety is becoming a thing of the past. I've been using my money more wisely. I feel better in myself. I drive my car again anxiety free and love the independence I now have.

I have no reason to back to that hell I was living in. I do what I have to do to get buy everyday and if that's not good enough for someone tough because I'm doing this for myself and if I'm happy in myself that's all that matters. My mind wanders less often and those anxious and worrying thoughts I have about my life and health are dying slowly. I no longer have the appetite of an elephant and feel hungry all the time and have lost 10kg. This has done wonders for my self-esteem and confidence. I'm good on the inside and look good on the outside.
