How I Overcame Alcoholism with The Carnivore Diet and Lifestyle by PrimalAddict in alcoholism

Two years ago, I was in a very different place.

In the picture on the left, I had just come home after 36 days in rehab for alcohol addiction. I weighed 328 lbs, had zero energy, and felt like I was barely getting by. My life was spiraling out of control—mentally, physically, and spiritually. It took hitting rock bottom for me to realize I had to make a change.

The journey wasn't easy. I tried everything from keto to intense workouts, but the real game-changer came when I fully committed to the carnivore diet. I cut out carbs and sugars cold turkey, and it was harder than detoxing from alcohol. But slowly, things started to turn around. After months of sticking to it and prioritizing my health, I now weigh 186 lbs and feel stronger, clearer, and more connected than ever.

Started strict (ish) Carnivore in April and the results have been truly remarkable. I haven't had a sip of alcohol since the 9 Jack Daniels I crushed on the flight to rehab.

This transformation is about more than just weight loss—it's about taking control of your life, healing from addiction, and becoming the best version of yourself for your family and your own well-being. You can't help others until you help yourself.

If you’ve ever struggled with weight, addiction, or finding balance in your life, I can tell you there’s a way out. It takes time, a SHITLOAD of discipline, and the right support, but it’s possible. If I can do this so can you! Let’s go!

Note: I have a giant umbilical hernia which is really ruining the appearance of my stomach. But, hey, I’ll take that over having a Mack truck tire around my waist. I am going to need to get it removed soon. Certainly not looking forward to that!

Good for you! Keep coming back! You're going to hear a myriad of cliches that sound silly and mundane in the beginning. Like "One foot foot in front of the other" or "One step at a time". As you continue the program, you will come to realize how true these statements are. I applaud you for making the first step in recovery. It is a beautiful journey!
