Newly sober, my skin is so soft!

Hello all. I’m 26 days sober today and my skin has become so soft and radiant. Even my adult daughter said my hands are too soft. Lol! Has anyone else experienced this?

Many people find that cutting out the booze improves skin, hair, and other parts of the body. Take away the poison and the body is free to be healthy! It’s a nice feeling isn’t it?

Alcohol dehydrates you. Big time.

My nails are getting strong and longer. They used to not grow and break easily.

This is interesting! I’ve always had very dry skin… I never thought it had anything to do with drinking. (There are a LOT of things in my life I didn’t realize were a consequence of drinking, until I stopped.)
I hope I’ll get to a place of having smooth, healthy skin. The rewards of sobriety really are endless :joy:

I am really interested to see what happens there. My hair already grows fast. Does all the gray go away? :joy:

Hi Heyelley,
I just do my best to take it one day at a time. I’ve failed numerous times before. I just keep trying.
