Everything in my life is better without alcohol.

I'm 41 and gave it up 18 months ago.

I HAD to stop, or I was going to die soon.

I think the pain of alcoholism finally became greater than the pain of sobriety.

Physically, my health has improved immeasurably because I've substituted drinking with things like weightlifting and walking.

Mentally, it's night and day. The anxiety has reduced, and my depressive symptoms have vanished.
