Benefits?

Blood Pressure 115 over 73, pulse 69. (September 25, 2019)

I am missing nothing from being alcohol-free. I used alcohol to get a "mind free of overhanging issues"...turns out I was not addressing these issues and living in the past. In short, complete alcohol abstention is really invigorating after getting beyond the terrible first two weeks.

Passed 2,000 hours alcohol-free on Sunday! I completed a half marathon averaging 12 minute miles... nonsmoker for an equal amount of time! I drank alcohol and smoked for 25 years!
