I agree with the idea of talking about how good it can get. I didn't stop drinking and smoking pot solely because it was bad, I quit partially because how good the alternative looked, and has turned out to be. If you want to know how bad it was for me, click on the 1 underneath my name, my story, or a good part of it, is there.
How good it has gotten is a big reason why I enjoy sobriety. I have a job, a roof over my head, I eat everyday, I have true friends, I have self esteem, I have little to no guilt (I'm still human, I still mess up every now and then), I can look in the mirror and not want to look away, I have integrity, I have trustworthiness, I have joy in my life. Just a few things that sobriety has enabled me to get.
