Quit drinking 3 years ago when my first kid was born

I was a heavy drinker. Not rock bottom but getting close. Found out we were having a baby and something just clicked. Realized I didn't want my kid to have the kind of dad I had. Stopped cold turkey. First year was rough, not gonna lie. Lost some friends who didn't get it. But my marriage got so much better, I'm more present with my kids, and my bank account is way healthier. Identity shift was real though - used to define myself by my social life. Had to rebuild who I was outside of that. Three years sober and I don't miss it anymore.
