People who give up alcohol have all revealed the same benefit when they gave up drinking.

The demon drink adds a lot to our social lives and weekend celebrations, Some have decided to ditch booze for good. Our bodies would probably be more improved if ditched the prosecco and had an orange juice. Sobriety has prompted some 'insane' changes to people's lives they could not have imagined. They shared their experiences on Reddit and spoke about hugely positive changes after choosing not to drink. One user celebrated 'not having to worry about what I did or said the previous night'. While another drink quitter said they were more productive since they ditched booze.

They said: "I can trust myself now. I can actually commit to things and finish them. No more grand ideas that never get off the ground. If I really want to do it, now I can." The calories some alcoholic drinks contain was also an issue and poster reported feeling healthier since they gave up. A former drinker said she had 'instant weight loss'. "Roughly 1000 calories less a day consumed makes a huge difference."

While another posted: "I lost some weight and I got a lot of self-confidence and self-love back which I honestly did not expect." Another person said they realised how much how much of their life they had a hangover. They said: "The amount of time I've given myself back, especially on the weekends. It's hard to overstate how much time is wasted in life being hungover. Even if you wake up at 10 and head to the living room, we all know those days are not productive, and you're lucky if they're enjoyable.

"You feel like s**t, and you just never get the day truly rolling like you do when you wake up at 8am on a Saturday." The largest benefit, however, was their quality sleep was far better. One person confessed: "I had forgotten what real sleep was. It was always drunk or hungover/anxiety sleep." And another said: "I actually look forward to going to sleep tonight, instead of looking forward to the kids being in bed so I can drink." One user said she found her sleep 'exquisite' and as 'Mother Nature intended'.

The Mirror reported ex-England star Neil Ruddock revealed his dramatic weight loss journey on an edition of BBC Breakfast. The 56-year-old former defender discussed his new memoir, Toxic: Tackling 'Razor' and Finding the Real Me, where he opens up about his struggle to transform himself after football. In the book, Neil confronts his battles with food addiction, self-esteem issues, and alcohol dependency.

He said: "When I retired, I just ballooned, the weight ballooned, drinking. When you're a footballer, you're told everyday where to be, you've got to be here this time, you can't eat that, you can't drink that, you've got to wear this. You've always been told what to do and then when you retire, the wheels come off and you just escalate into food, drinking", and admitted, "It just got out of control, I couldn't control myself."
