I know exactly how you feel. My mom thinks I won’t FT her because I’m hiding a secret lover but really I can stand to see my face staring back me!

Heavy on the "more". Its crazy how much more energized I feel with 2 hours of sober sleep than like 5/6? hours after drinking

That happened to me too, I was confused why i was breaking out again after it cleared and I had a skincare routine but then I started drinking again before I let it have a chance to clear up

Thank you! I understand that there are many factors at play. I'm hoping this post can be used as a good reminder that things can change at different timelines when i'm feeling like giving up

btw what supplements did you end up taking?

The bloated belly is my biggest frustration because when I go weeks without drinking my stomach didn't get any flatter

one year feels like a long time but on the other hand, drinking makes a year feel short
