I find the longer I go without booze the less I miss it, and in fact the better I feel about not drinking at all. This is coming from someone who has always been known for enjoying a drink or 10 for most of my life. As I get older, I find the side effects of booze just arent worth it anymore, and theres so much more to be gained from leaving it alone. Mental/physical health and all round well being are so much improved, and Im able to get much more done. Each to there own of course.
