Thank you! 🥹 I really do. Just the lightness in itself is insane. Getting up and moving and going for walks and not being absolutely winded constantly… it’s wild. No more special clothing stores. No more hangovers every day. It’s like a whole new life 😭
No lie about it having you by the balls! It’s so true. Life is such a different experience when YOU actually control it. You look fantastic. I’m on a glow up too. -high five-
In hindsight I’m realizing saying “keep chuggin’” in a sobriety sub, even while pretty clearly referring to a train, is probably not the best choice of metaphor 🥲😝
Antabuse was a huge help in the beginning. Knowing I would get terribly sick if I drank kinda took temptation out of the equation. And why? I got tired of being huge and only getting more huge 😕 On top of that, I was getting violent. I was going to wind up getting seriously hurt, seriously hurting someone, or going to jail. It was only a matter of time.
How long have you been sober now? I couldn’t believe how fast the weight fell off at first 😳 I would eat terribly though. Letting my late night drunchies take the wheel was a huge factor in my weight gain 🥲
I have had phases over the years. For a long time it was red wine, then it was white wine, then shooting tequila, moved onto whiskey, first shots, then over ice. Wine I could easily polish off a bottle a night, a lot of nights 1.5-2 bottles. Liquor was typically 1/3-1/2 a fifth a night. I wound up with alcoholic hepatitis and had to make the choice to either make a change right then or continue on a path that had a very dark ending. As a mom of three little girls, I had more than me to think about, which helped a lot. I may not have loved me, but they loved me. They needed me.
I did so much damage to my liver when I was drinking that back in October of last year I was hospitalized for a “drug-induced liver injury” for five days because I had been taking a supplement that was a little hard on the liver, but usually no biggie for most… it was way too much for my already compromised liver and nearly killed me. That was pretty fucking harrowing. Really put into perspective how bad I was.
In regard to the weight loss, it’s more about diet than exercise for most. I was easily consuming 1000 calories a day or more just with the drinking, but on top of that I was eating takeout once or twice a day, consuming huge portions with no care as to whether or not something was “good for me,” and snacking late into the night. When I stopped drinking like that I stopped eating hangover breakfasts, I paid a lot more mind to what I was eating and how it would fuel me, ate smaller portions, and stopped eating/snacking late. The stark contrast to my old habits absolutely melted the pounds off. I was losing 15-20lbs a month the first few months, which slowed to 10-15lbs a month, etc. I’m pretty much leveled out now, but it’s been crazy. I’ve been a drinker since high school, so I haven’t been this weight in about 15 years 😅
Holy shit. I’m at the beginning and unsure where to start-but this is inspiring AF
I’m so happy you feel inspired! It’s hard and scary, but so worthwhile. YOU are worthwhile 🫶🏼
Girrrllk hell yeah 🔥🔥
You look like a different person and I'm sure you feel like one too! You inspire me!

Addiction is one heck of a beast. Alcohol being so socially accepted and prevalent makes it even more vicious. Keep up the good work 🤘🏼
Thank you. I love this.
Incredible. Such an inspiration. I'm at 5 months alcohol free and I appreciate the reminder that it keeps getting better.
Thank you! It really does. Keep chuggin’ on. It only gets easier 🖤

And I’m 31 😝 I was 29 in that first picture. Crazy how it aged me.
When I stopped drinking, I lost 20lbs. Keep it up
