A few thoughts:
Feelings
I feel a lot more
I feel in a more level way
I’m getting better at feelings
I don’t dull difficult feelings with alcohol
I suffer less from uncontrollable anxiety

Sleep
I sleep much more
I sleep better & deeper
I get to enjoy lie ins without hangovers

Life
I have much more time
I go to the pub much less
I save a lot of money

Taste
I miss some alcohol flavours
I drink more tea (thanks @PostcardTeas & @DAVIDsTEA)
Sour tastes can be found in kombucha, kefir water, and citrus

Bitter tastes can be found in delicious non-alcoholic bitters with tonic

Sober life
You don’t have to explain your choices to anyone
You don’t need a fully formed reason to stop drinking (or any reason at all)
British society has huge issues with alcohol

Other folk
There are many more non-drinkers than you’d think
It’s okay to be short w folk who might pressure you to drink
Although folks who do this might actually admire your sobriety
