I have been sober for four months now and feel great.

Congratulations! Achieving your goal of not consuming alcohol is not easy, but you did it!

I just stopped drinking wine.  It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be.  Still miss it with nice dinners though.

Medical personnel point out that the long term effects of drinking alcohol include damage to the liver and brain, so I'd say you're better off without it!

So true.  Liver damage is no joke.  Wouldn't want those symptoms.

Absolutely not. Sobriety means you don't have any measurable effects from alcohol, so being sober means you're healthier.
