I know exactly what you mean!

I noticed the increased productivity within three days of sobriety, when I actually went into the garden and did all the planting and weeding I'd been meaning to do for months. It occurred to me then that when I was drinking, I didn't do anything apart from the bare minimum required to enable me to appear "normal" at work and to the rest of the outside world. So I managed to get the washing and ironing done each week, I managed to shop for groceries and I got myself to work most of the time. But that was pretty much it. The rest of my time was dedicated to drinking.

These days, there aren't enough hours in the day sometimes to do all the things I want to.
