Quit drinking and became a morning person

Two years sober today. Used to stay up late drinking, sleep till 10am, feel like garbage. Started hitting AA meetings and it changed everything. Now I'm up at 5:30 doing a workout before the kids wake up. Clear head. Actually remember conversations. Miss the social aspect of hitting the bars with buddies but my actual friendships are real now instead of just drinking buddies. My kids see a different dad.
