Thank you! Actually I am much more confident since my look and voice represents me more. It used to be as if I had a wrong avatar assigned to my mind the whole time. But now it’s totally different. I never thought this is how everyone else feel themselves normally about their manifestation, but this is pretty cool.

Doing so well! Gearing up for a big garden this year. Brought home bees on Saturday. Bought a new car (I call it the car that sobriety bought.) The last 5 years have been good to me. Hope you are well.

Currently battling both, sobriety, and dieting.
Just over 2 months in, and I’m down almost 20lbs and find myself smiling again.
Hoping to find my path to a healthier life so I can become a positive influence to those around me

The transformations on this thread are incredible!! And so inspiring!!
I don’t recall honestly how old the “before” pic is but the “after” pic is my most recent from a few days ago I think. Definitely seeing some changes! Which I like 
I feel like there is “more” to me now. I really felt so hollow as a human being before. It makes me sad to think about it. But I feel like I’m becoming a person now. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for me and my recovery.

You look great! I’m also really proud of how much you’ve had to overcome. A picture might be worth a thousand words, but it can’t convey all the struggles you’ve been through. Your story is pretty remarkable in that you’ve broken free from a machine that squeezes the life out of people, all while battling other addictions. Few get out, and you’re doing it.
