Thank you.

Well, to name a few, among others that don't strike me now:
  • No hangovers
  • No migraines or headaches (not kidding- can't recall the last time I took an aspirin)
  • No blackouts, so no gut-wrenching fear trying to recall what I did / said the night before
  • No embarrassment & shame
  • No missed workdays
  • Lost 35 lbs, no longer obese
  • More cash to spend
  • Newfound ability to think 'big picture', instead of simply running out the clock until the next beer
  • Intrinsic sense of peace & calm

Most importantly, I've found solace in practicing meditation, which has become a crucial part of my everyday life. And safe to say that it more than makes up for any so-called 'benefits' booze ever brought me.
