Stopped Drinking - Dad Edition

6 months sober now. Used to crush beers with the guys after work, weekends were fuzzy, missed a lot of stuff I didn't even realize. Got sober because my 5yo asked why I was always tired. That hit different. Now I remember the details of their days, I'm the fun dad at the park instead of the guy needing a nap. Honestly I miss the social part and the escape, not gonna lie. But my kids smile different at me now and I'm present for it. My marriage improved too. Probably the best decision I've made as a dad even though it was terrifying at first.
