Because even after less than a fortnight without alcohol and nicotine I can't believe the difference in my appearance. My black circles are gone, my skin looks fresh and I have so much more energy. I look and feel so much better, But then two weeks ago today I was sitting here drinking at 10 am looking an absolute horror. I know which I prefer.
