For me, there has been... LIFE after alcohol. I'm finally living a full life in a way not possible before, when drinking was the priority in life and the attendant depression that came with it cast a heavy pall over life, and robbed me of living fully. Life is far better sober, and any cheap temporary thrill drinking have me is simple of no compare with what I have now:
Clarity
Peace
Living in the moment
Confidence
Comfort with myself and others
And on and on.
