It really does. I remember one evening a while back, I got a call from my daughter telling me that she and her fiance had just had a wreck. A Federal Express 18 wheeler hit them from behind and, while they weren't injured, they needed me to come pick them up.
When I was drinking, I might still have tried to drive out there and pick them up, but there was a police officer on the scene and I would surely have been arrested for DWI. As it was, I was sober and able to go get them and help them get their car back to the house.
Yeah, sobriety rocks!!
