Absolutely. I gave up drinking 2 years as well. I'm a better artist, musician, employee, husband, and father. Alcohol just sucks.

I would have sworn to you that I couldn't play guitar well without 2 bourbon and cokes first lol

Now I'm learning new techniques I would have considered to be way too difficult before!
