I've never, and don't, label myself relative to alcohol.
Switching the paradigm may be helpful. This is a choice and not a punishment. No reason to be scared by what you "cannot" do if you can wrap your head around the fact that you are "choosing" to be alcohol free. You can drink (and in turn accept the consequences that come along with the choice) and are choosing not to. Powerful.
Another way to shift your thinking is to recognize there were likely many, many things that you could not do while you were drinking. If things you "cannot" do scare you- the act of choosing to be alcohol free should be pretty liberating.
I frame it as making a purposeful choice to be alcohol free and enjoy the benefits of that decision.
