Briansy, this might not speak to exactly what your wrote but I have night & day differences. This is from a couple of times of 6+ months without a drink, not very long term but I saw many positive changes.

The biggest was fitness and weight loss. Alcohol no longer got in my way, I lost fifty pounds and joined a gym for the first time in my life. I also went to a few different doctors that I put off for years.

Good day or bad, I was always present for my family. I could drive anywhere at any time.

Life became much more manageable, I was more organized at work and home. I woke up for work with my clothes ready and often healthy meals to take with me.

Sober me is more sociable and confident. Looking better and feeling better does this. Alcohol gives some people courage I guess, for me it makes me isolate & causes anxiety. Alcohol wants more alcohol, F that.

Those are a few things off the top of my head. Happy sober Sunday to all!
