Much more relaxed. Takes a lot to really upset me today. Take things pretty much in stride nowadays. John

Weight loss is probably the best change I've noticed

Was almost 270 lbs end of 2013 and into early 2014 (no doubt high amount of beer intake was main culprit). I'm hovering around 180 lbs or so currently, I like where I'm at and I feel lighter on my feet.

I plan on staying under 200 going forward. Extra weight is just bad for you, with no real benefits unless it's "healthy" weight such as muscle.

Thank you all, I can relate to all of these and it is very hard to choose just one! I find now though the fact I wake up Guilt free has so many knock on effects....It's amazing. I can focus, my face doesn't look racked with guilt, no anxiety, I can live the day out normally x

Sobriety is it's own reward. Not having alcohol be an integral part of my existence is priceless!

I'm not sure how exactly to describe this, but just "being me".

Not being disgusted with myself every morning when I wake up, and wondering just how many people are aware that I'm hungover

Amen to that.

Maintaining heavy nightly alcoholic drinking was like having a second job.
