- no expense spared on ridiculously priced drinks/club entrance tickets
- clear conscience and no horrific hangovers (which made me want to quit in the first place)
- increased desire to work on physical health
- for me, I stopped smoking completely as the two habits went hand in hand
- spent more time doing things I wanted to do, as oppose to getting drunk as it seemed like the socially acceptable thing to do.

I didn't drink at all for 9 months last year and it didn't really bother me at all (probably because before then I hardly ever drank at all, like maybe once every few months on average?), then I started again when the World Cup was on and drank a looot more often then and it turned into like a few days a week.

But actually it's not that difficult once you get into it yknow?

Saving money is one of the main things for me for sure. I don't get hangovers so that doesn't bother me too much but I've noticed I've felt more 'clean' when not drinking
