That is great SuperMario. Sorry you are feeling down at the moment but your trajectory is good right? Remember the hangovers. Mine were soul-crushing whole body affairs. A bit down, but calm, clear and quiet in your mind is so preferable to that right? I wouldn't look at it as leaving your old life behind if that looms too large. Not all of you is being left behind. Just the drinking part. You are still here with us and are a fully formed person with worth. You just don't drink anymore.
