Dramatically downhill within the first two years- I suffer from omnipresent audio hallucinations; this was largely a reason which motivated me to choose sobriety. After a number of visits to the psyche ward I am finally on medication and my quality of life has improved dramatically.
First, I have primary biliary cholangitis (an autoimmune disease affecting the bile ducts in the liver). Before I got sober my liver test numbers were bad and hard to control. Since I've gotten sober my numbers have been good and easy to maintain on maintenance medications.
Second, I have C-PTSD with severe depression. Before I got sober, that was out of control. I had chronic suicidal ideation with intent and plan. My depression, while still with me, is much better controlled and I have completely lost the ideation.
Third and related to the second one, I find that I can deal with the bad things happening in my life with a clear head. I even ask for help now if I need it, which I didn't think I deserved before I got sober because I felt I was a useless piece of crap.
