Congratulations, you gave yourself one more shot at life.
To quit alcohol addiction for a year is admirable, many just can't, like smokers smoking through their tracheostoma they just go into oblivion, unable to stop.
I would recommend to you to take LSD, 1P-LSD or AL-LAD and not Bridgesii cactus. Its a thousand times easier on the liver.
Try to eliminate your sugar intake, and take Milk Thistle religiously in standard doses if your doctor allows.

One beer a night in no way makes you stupid. Too many people confusing a social drink with being a drunk. The bitches aren't just going to wander into your basement. I want to know how non drinkers maintain a social life. I hear people playing guitar and tripping, alone at home. What do non drinkers do to meet new people? I was expecting answers like sports or chess club or something, not I sit at home alone crying.

Concerts, parties, chill with friends etc etc. Alcohol isn't the only drug in the world
It must suck to be so dependant on alcohol for fun. It sounds like you have no idea how to live without alcohol. You should probably take a break

OP. What about your mental health?
Are you more driven, more motivated? Are you clearer?

23 Days sober here. Most everybody wakes up to the fact sooner or later, alcohol is nothing but destructive.
The alcohol experience: Making yourself sicker with every drink, but with every drink becoming more numb to the pain.
I've gone 11 years comparing myself to people like my uncle who failed his liver, my grandpa whom I never got to meet, because he failed his liver. My mother who drove me around drunk, passed out and left me hungry, embarrassed me in front of every friend I ever had, forgot me and left me places, lost every job she ever worked, 4 DUI's, 10+ times in rehab. I've compared myself to these people and told myself I didn't have a problem. I never crashed a car or got a DUI, though I should have several times. Never lost a job or a friend or anything. I have a car and a job and I can afford a 6 pack every night, fuckin of course I don't have a problem!
But it doesn't have to be as deep and wide as a ocean to be a problem.
Then one night, I stumbled into my room drunk, and giggly, and flopped down on my bed. Then the carnival kicked into high gear. Why are you doing this? Do you really still think this is fun? What about tomorrow? What about your body? Your brain. What about the hobby work you should have done tonight? What about the work left undone? The shit on the floor of your truck, the stuff in the sink? What the fuck are you doing?
That was 24 days ago. I could only describe the feeling as utterly disgusted with myself, with my habits. It would break my fucking heart to not be able to be the man I need to be for my family, for my woman, for my friends. I want to be everything they need me to be. I can't be anything, I will never amount to anything, if I continue to drink.
That's what I said when I introduced myself at my first AA meeting. It was a lot more painful to say it then, and admitting to them and to myself as well, for the first time, "I'm Jake and I am a Alcoholic."
Never going back again. Keep up the fight folks.
To patlal: The answer for myself is, hell yes. I get more done, I don't ever feel like shit anymore. The focus is there, I feel closer to THIS moment and my place in it than I have in a long time of being hungover everyday. For months I have been looking high and low into nutrient and vitamin deficiencies to explain my general fatigue of the past year, only to find out that there isn't anything wrong with me except alcohol.
