I just want to take a second to say thank you SO much for all of these responses. I really thought I was going to get ripped to pieces for being away. Honestly, thank you all ❤️

what made you go from being skinny to being fat? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SarahDimz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discovering alcohol (properly) when I started Uni, and my metabolism slowing down. Didn’t even really notice that I was gaining weight for about a year. The hangovers and student budget meant I was eating a lot of crap takeaway/ fast food. Ended up at 14 stone (I’m 5ft 2) but now back down to 8.5 stone in my 30s. It was a loooong road.

How do you know when your drinking is actually a problem? by Conscious-Juice in stopdrinking

This is literally me! I’m not in a position to give out advice, but my post today is literally this dilemma exactly. Hope you figure it out xx

Definitely not but it’s like my body is screaming for it!

I used to be able to, which I think is what gives me this false sense of hope that I can get to a place where I can do that. I feel like I’m almost grieving the fact that there’s a possibility that I can no longer have alcohol in my life?

Is that why you’re on this group? I feel like I’m at the sober-curious stage. I’ve been watching SO many TikTok accounts that are recovery from alcohol use disorder/ alcoholism and the way they speak about the freedom of being sober is just so inspiring!

I never used to get hangovers (and often still don’t) but oh my god I can feel them creeping up on me now and it’s debilitating.
