For me I look more to the social aspects as I never really seemed ill from drinking. A side effect of my drinking is people couldn't talk to me because they got a different person from conversation to conversation. When I'm not drinking I notice a difference in my family, they no longer watch what they say as I'm not so touchy and my wife will start to have fun, poking fun at me like when we were first together, that's due to me being more predictable. I'm a much more balanced individual sober so from that consistency my relationships will start to heal + I like waking up for work and not gagging on my tooth brush
