He then describes the unexpected benefits of quitting alcohol, including increased emotional stability, greater clarity regarding his values and priorities, fewer but stronger friendships, a shift in hobbies and interests, and a positive impact on his sex life. These experiences convinced Manson that quitting alcohol was the best decision for his well-being.
