Yep Columbus, that'll just about be the adjective of the thread so far. Seems like all the others lead to that.....very apt and fitting.

But, since I stopped drinking, I prefer to focus on the positive, which for me, is freedom from alcohol!

I was thinking the same, the word I would use to describe life since being sober would be:

Underperfomance.

I was operating so far under my potential as a human being, in EVERY conceivable way. Sobriety is opening my eyes to what I can achieve and contribute. And I don't mean earning money or getting a more prestigious job, but being a better person all round. I'm healthier, stronger, kinder, gentler, sharper, wiser...

Alcohol destroys your potential. Destroys the person you were meant to be.
