I enjoy so many things now. Alcohol was so powerful that I ended up giving up everything that I enjoyed. I am still refinding these things 4 years later.
People trust that I am going to do what I say.
I could write a book about all the positive ways my life has gotten better.
Quitting was by far the best thing I could have ever done.
