Did you know that 23 million Americans suffer from alcohol and drug addiction? However, out of those who actually want to get sober, only 1/3 people who stay sober less than a year will remain abstinent.

Yes, going sober is not an easy task. And it takes a long time to stay on the wagon. Addiction is a disease, not a choice after all.

But is living a sober life as good as it looks? Is it worth the difficult journey of becoming sober? Read on for 5 reasons why life after drinking will enrich your life for the better.

Are you ready? Let’s take the first step onto the straight and narrow.

1. Save Your Life

Saving your life is one of the most important benefits of sobriety.

When you start living a sober life, you’ll feel amazed at how fast your health will return to you. Not only will your body be rid of the alcohol, but you’ll also be more inclined to start looking after yourself better. Exercise and a better diet become a more attainable goal when you have self-control.

As well as a new found health, becoming sober can stop you from taking part in dangerous stunts that could endanger your life. Your inhibitions will be higher and you won’t take unnecessary risks.

2. Save Lots of Cash

Drinking is an expensive habit. While an occasional drink won’t break the bank, excessive drinking can burn a massive hole in your pocket.

One of the benefits of becoming sober is having more money to enjoy. Instead of flushing it down the toilet, literally.

3. Better Relationships

Another amazing benefit of living a sober life is better relationships all round!

When people have dangerous addictions, they tend to surround themselves with toxic friends. Life after drinking gives you the opportunity to find true friends who truly love you and care for your well-being.

Living a sober life may also give you the chance to start an honest romantic relationship. Nobody wants to date someone who is drunk half the time, after all.

Can you manage a date without a drink? Try sober dating for the ultimate dating experience, without drinking yourself silly.

4. True Freedom

Addiction enslaves people and can prevent them from fulfilling their dreams. This is because of a lack of money, motivation or mind power.

Life after drinking can give you true freedom to travel, take up old hobbies and learn something new. You will also have more energy and focus at work, which could lead to promotions or a better job.

5. Stop Drinking, Start Thinking

“Alcohol is not the answer, it just makes you forget the question”. That might be a funny quote, but it’s true. When addicted to alcohol, although you may have been physically present for occasions, your mind may have been elsewhere.

Becoming sober brings you back to real life. You can enjoy what’s going on around you, without forgetting the next morning.

Going Sober — It’s Worth It

It’s clear to see that life’s not better when you’re drunk. Going sober will actually start a whole new chapter in your life.

Don’t waste another moment, get out there, travel, and make friends. Live life with no regrets!
