  1. Improved mental health including less anxiety, shame and guilt
  2. Improved relationships with others including my husband, friends who I spend time with doing activities sober, and being fully present for my son
  3. Improved physical health although I have a lot of opportunities to improve on my eating and regular exercise I know that my drinking is not holding me back. Even my poor choices are authentic!
