New life,
I'm about your age and drank for a very long time. I agree with the others, all things improve when we stop drinking. My physical appearance is much better. The best thing of all is how clear my mind is, how much energy and ambition I have, and the joy I feel most days to wake up with a positive attitude. Don't know how many days I have left on the earth but the quality of each day is what's important to me.
Give sobriety a try...you won't be disappointed.
