I hardly post comments here but I have to thank you bub! I quit drinking for 3 years and unfortunately started it a year ago again.
I quit drinking because of my aunt who died because of liver cirrhosis (result of alcohol addiction), started it again because the last year wasn't an easy one for me. :/
I was very proud that I could stop drinking and still having fun. I had the exact same moment you mentioned, where some random girl told me that I was sooo drunk yesterday and I just replied.. nope, I was sober. :D
During my time drinking I lost extremely much of my former productivity. I have to admit I don't regret every drunk evening, there were some really good too! But I definitely lost mental strength during my drinking time.
I had to lough at the point where you wrote about the lost money and in my case gained weight. That's all true too.

I'll quit drinking again, one more time. :D
