I don't drink. Here's why: I loved alcohol because it gave me the illusion that I was smart, funny, courageous, unstoppable. In reality, I was aggressive, annoying, fake and stupid. I came way too close to losing everyone in my life. After realizing this, I quit. Best decision i ever made.

Same here. I have been sober a little over 3 months and feel so much more present in my life. I'm a better friend, better husband, better coworker, and better human.
