For me, the cravings, the irritability, boredom , all faded with time. My cravings are infrequent now. The biggest benefits were that i have regained my self respect and my life. I feel like i am rediscovering life. Sobriety is not boring, i have way more things in my life now. Things list i have regained. I have never regretted this choice- even with the occasional hard or difficult moments.
