My best friend and I quit drinking in 2022, and it has been life-changing for both of us!

Very kind of you to offer. Its been a gradual process from me, my heavy drinking started 30+ years ago.
Only puzzle left to solve is how to turn my brain off during mega work hectic/busy times. So far that has almost involved booze or effectively no sleep as my brain continues to work on work issues whilst I'm trying to get to sleep.
How much did you drink before, and how has it changed your life?
I consistently drank 4-6 cups of wine/beer per day for ~5 years.
A few major ways it changed my life:
1. I suddenly lost weight! Drinking calories makes it difficult to stay healthy. My friends and family noticed my weight loss before I told them about my sobriety.
2. I make better decisions in group settings. I no longer stay at social gatherings where I'm bored while sober, and I don't embarrass myself nearly as often.
3. Sobriety adds an extra 1-3 hours to my days. It's unsurprising that a CNS depressant sapped my motivation and energy!
4. No more chronic heartburn! No more headaches!
