Deal! I’m NEVER going through that shit again! Detoxing off alcohol sucked, detoxing off benzos almost killed me. NEVER! AGAIN!

Weight gain, which I’m trying not to be unhappy with. Being able to eat again is nice!
Unfortunately, I’ve gained weight both times I got sober. I have to be honest that my diet hasn’t been the best and little to no workouts. I’m working on that piece now.
But there are other positives:
Clear eyes
Less dry skin
Little to no heartburn
Less bloat in my face and belly
No more IBS like symptoms aka, I don’t fear shitting my pants on a daily basis, lol
Better sleep
Less dry skin
Clear Eyes
Less to no bloating
Less sweating
Less eczema
My weight still is the same but I’m working on this
No heartburn any more
My redness in my face went away around day 5. My skin is naturally fair and it is no longer ruddy looking. My toe nails and finger nails peeled horribly and frequently due to dehydration from the alcohol, they grow now without splitting (I obviously clip my toe nails haha). My teeth became white as did the whites of my eyes (I was never jaundiced but my eyes just didn’t seem bright). This one is gross but I do not sweat as much and when I do it doesn’t smell anything like what it did during heavy drinking. The BM’s took longer to improve probably because my intestines weren’t used to regular digestion. My hair became shinier as well. And definitely weight loss.
ive only been sober for 3 weeks after years of heavy drinking and already others are noticing a change in my apperance!!
the skin on my face has cleared up, the whites of my eyes are white again as apposed to a yellow colour.plus i have lost the black bags under my eyes…
i am also making an effort to eat better foods, fruit and veg etc and atleast drinking 1.5l of water per day…hence a change in bowel habits!! 1st time in years am solid again!!! sorry but only being honest!!!
