I’ll never know, I’ve got no friends to tell me 
and I’m definitely not offended bc that would mean I had enough intelligence to feel threatened by your words and I still don’t know what we are talking about… some days it’s hard living with myself.
I can honestly say filters have come a long way.

You go girl 
Oh my gosh, I haven’t been in this forum in a long time! I really love it here and I’ve been having so much fun browsing around today. I made this picture today, and it reminded me of how I used to use Talking Sober.
So here it is, me 2 years ago, and me about a week ago. In the first picture I was still drinking. I wasn’t at my heaviest, or perhaps my worst, but I had no idea how wonderful the life that awaited me once I got sober was. I had spent a year or so trying to control my drinking, and find a way to drink like a normal drinker. I was in so much denial and fear. Today I feel freedom like I never could have imagined. I

Wow!!! Sober looks much better on you!
Not long after that picture where I was obviously drunk, I awoke hung over after a long binge in a motel room n realized I had so much to be thankful for n at that moment changed my life. Stopped drinking, smoking, went back to the gym, started eating healthy, spending time with family n rid myself of toxic people n environment. It turned out to be the best 3years if my life. I was unstoppable. Found self love. No longer needing to chase after someone else to fulfill me. Nothing could hurt me,until reality struck n knocked me on my ass. Greatest loss of my life. But because I made that change 3years earlier, I was able to be there for those who needed me to be strong despite my own pain. The old me would not have survived that loss. Won’t go into details I wrote about it when I first came on here. I have fallen since then but have managed to find the strength to pick myself n start over as I have done now. Thankful for this forum n all the support. Hope I can give back as much as I get.

I definitely feel like all of those things now.
Everyone’s transformations are amazing, inspiring and very well deserved.
Not one person looks like they regret their sober life choices… I don’t think anyone ever does.
To all who have revealed themselves in this topic, thank you. Thank you for the inspiration and joy your photos share.

Here I was on holiday in Tenerife (March 2018). You can see that I was quite slim but I still had the problem that my face looked so weird and fat, inflaned…? Well, since I stopped drinking (August 2019) this problem dissapeared although I still eat a lot of sweets 
Today I am sober 9 months and 18 days and the change is huge! I have never felt better in my mind or in my body either

Wow this is special, I always think you have a really recognisable face with a big fat spark in it, yet I find you almost unrecognisable in the first two pics. Surely no coincidence.
