It's almost a no brainer. But if you had asked me this the first time I stopped I would have said no, life was pure misery. Sobriety, apart from keeping me out of trouble, was a miserable experience..
But I guess you are asking about the last time I stopped. With a different approach which brought about a spiritual awakening, my life changed dramatically for the better. A miraculous and lasting change in the space of a few weeks. Yesterday, I celebrated 35 years sober. Life has had its ups and downs, as it does for everyone, alcoholic or not, but even in the most trying of times alcohol has not presented itself as a solution.
Life is not only better but different, and so much more than I expected.
I owe it all to the God of my understanding and AA, and I stick around as much out of gratitude as anything else.
