There’s a smile in all three photos. But there’s only one where your heart’s in it.

Good for you Lea - well earned :innocent:

Your puffy face is caused by the body trying to hold on to water as alcohol dehydrates it. I had the same effect. I couldn’t use eyeliner anymore from some point, my face was so swollen. So weird!! :flushed: Felt like I couldn’t recognise myself.

Oh really? I didn’t know at that time. I thought that I am just getting fat from all that calories hidden in the alcohol :thinking:
One man I know is alcoholic and he managed to lose the weight now because he started to ride bicycle a lot. He’s got now very tiny body hut so huge head!!! He looks totally weird.
Well, it’s another inspiration to stop, isn’t it :smile:
Thank you for information. It’s good to know. I am glad for both that we’re sober now :wink:

Going strong on day 23, now that’s great to hear! :grin:
I’m doing really well myself, thank you! Appreciating the many good things in my life, the work I do for myself and my loved ones, trying not to compare myself to others, trying to be kind to myself, trying not to get stressed out and feel less than.
I love your profile pic to you own a husky?
I always find the transformations here really inspiring too, even more it just makes me glad to see things turn around for people!
Stay strong and check in again! :boom::muscle:

Why not. It usually takes me about 6 months to start looking like myself again. The first picture is mid bender in March or April I think. I was blacked out and don’t remember taking the picture. So no idea what that face is :neutral_face: The one on the right is about a week ago. Maybe I’ll take a pic a month. Here goes nothing :see_no_evil: (This is VERY hard for me to share)

Fantastic transformations! So moving! I am tempted to take a pic now, post relapse, so I can take another in the future.
