Sobriety will turn that on it's head after a while, as we learn the benefits of leaving alcohol behind then in hindsight it will look like a great decision, but not from the viewpoint when still drinking, my mind didn't want me to quit either!!

We all needed to take a leap of faith and believe that alcohol was doing us no favours!!
