8 1/2 months...

Going on 9 months since I decided to change my relationship with alcohol by removing it from my life. A few things I've noticed.
  • Not worrying about driving anywhere at any time is welcome relief.
  • Nothing great happens without hard work, we simply have more time and focus to work toward our goals, without tripping over empty bottles.
  • Nothing will dramatically improve other than your health, yet good health is the foundation of great outlook.
  • Being well rested has new meaning.
  • Recognizing the irony in developing a greater sense of confidence through personal resolve in abstinence, versus the chemically induced false confidence alcohol initially yet fleetingly provides is empowering.
  • Slowly killing yourself with alcohol is selfish and will only hurt the people who share your love.

Best to everyone, thanks for the support.
