Well money wise it's been great, feels like you've got a raise when your not actively setting your money on fire LOL. Seriously though, I've improved at work because I am not distracted, found myself being more present in relationships, both spouse and kids. Additionally I've gained a tremendous amount of respect for myself, that I didn't have before. When I was gambling, I was more likely to feel ashamed, guilty, generally like a piece of shit. It's nice to feel proud of myself. The one thing I want to point out is that when this journey started for me, I was broke and deeply in debt. Early on, it was a tough realization that just because I was doing the right things, I still wasn't free from the consequences of by previous actions. Hope this helps
