By quitting drinking alcohol
Literally the only thing I changed about my life at that time and I went from 185 lbs to 165 lbs in 3 months
I was drinking a fifth per night of alcohol that was at least 100 proof, so I was a bit of an alcoholic at the time
I quit cold turkey and within just a few weeks I started feeling a lot better overall and by about 4 months after I quit the cravings stopped every time I smelt alcohol
I've been sober now for about 5 and a half years and the weight has stayed off the whole time. I've basically been 160±5 lbs since
That’s amazing! Congrats on sobriety.
Thank you
It wasn't my first attempt but my 4th to get sober. Getting sober wasn't easy, and I think is a topic more people should talk about. You never seem to here people talking about how many attempts it took to achieve something like that, you only ever here that they did it.
And honestly this is the longest I've been sober since I was 12 years old
I wouldn't give it up for the world, the quality of life improvements have been amazing and not just my physical health but my mental health as well. It's amazing how much easier PTSD is to deal with while sober vs not.
You hear about it more in recovery groups. It's pretty eye-opening.
Shit, you stole my exact answer
Except I've finally started to gain the weight back
