Absolutely! I missed out on so much living because of my drinking. My whole world was centered around it, if there wasn't drinking involved then I wasn't interested in participating. Not to mention all the times I flaked out because I was too hungover to be a person. My life is way more interesting now that I've quit. I'm into trying new things and being adventuresome and active. I've got new hobbies and have picked up some old ones. It's a huge AV lie that life without alcohol is boring and colorless.
