I have always felt like I was missing out by being sober but I truly believe letting go of alcohol is the most awesome thing I can do for myself right now. Life has a new hope and peace that is truly rewarding for my soul. I encourage anyone struggling or thinking about quitting to just give it your full effort so you too may experience joy and freedom from despair. I feel like I have slayed the beast. If I can do it you can to.
