For me the biggest improvement is that I am finally starting to like myself. I never liked the old me. Being the girl in drab sucked big time. And like somebody else said another major improvement is that I am actually making friends. Not just people I can benefit from being acquainted with or happen to work with. Real friends I could call in the middle of the night if I needed a shoulder or wanted to share a special joy.

The cost is high but the benefits are priceless.
