I too find my life so much simpler now that I'm sober.
Simpler and more peaceful. No drama. No waking up feeling horrible and hating myself.
If I had to pick one thing about being sober that I like the best, it would have to be, waking up feeling good.
I must say, however, I found continuing to drink easier than quitting. It was easier to ignore my demons rather than face them head on.
