benefits of not drinking

[hazeleyes]

I'm returning after relapsing and wanting to stop. Here's some reasons for me to stay sober

Saving money
Not waking up in the middle of the night sweating
No hangover
Making better decisions
Being a better musician
Losing my bloated stomach
Not feeling ashamed and guilty
Learning to enjoy life with people in it

That's all for now, anyone else have ideas?

Lack of guilt? Covering up shame?

Learning to love myself again.
Being there for family and friends and my animals
performing better at work and in life

Welcome back as longer as you stay in the fight you will win. The benefits of not drink are endless.
Mine are: My outlook in life is very positive.
My sleep is soo much better and I no longer have to worry about someone smelling alcohol on me at work. I no longer need to sneak home for a mid_day drink so I won't shake at work.

I can train harder and longer, never feel like i can't train because I feel hungover, sleep better, lost a lot of fat around my midsection, I can work longer and I don't feel way more optimistic about life. Overall o just feel much better, I still feel stressed but now I try and do something about it instead haha.
