I'd like to start a thread that focuses on positive effects of sobriety. Not sweeping changes, like "my life is so much better now." More like, what specific thing happened or did you notice today that made you pause and think, "this is better or even possible only because I am sober"?
Whether you've been sober a day or many years.
I'll start with mine. Today I had the energy to enjoy beautiful sun and a long walk with my dog because I was not hung over like most Sundays in the past.
