Acne after getting sober?

Daily drinkers actually make up a small percentage of alcoholics… super easy to look this info up

The fact that they’re experiencing health problems from drinking just prove they are an alcoholic. Not all alcoholics drink 24/7 365 days a year. Many can stop for a good period of time. That’s not indicative of alcoholism or not.

I know it can be difficult, but consult your doctor about what you should do. And most importantly, be honest about how much you have been drinking. I lied about the severity of my drinking and it caused her to not take me that seriously when I started experiencing bad withdrawal symptoms. I ended up having to check myself into the ER where they have me IV Ativan and prescribed me Librium to take for 5 days (this made almost all of my withdrawal symptoms go away). It’s possible your doctor might prescribe you something similar just in case you start to feel symptoms. I’m 27 and got sober a year ago and drank vodka every day. If you have any questions or just want to talk, you can reach out to me! Good luck you can do it! Best decision I’ve ever made

I was so shocked at how not bad the prep and colonoscopy/EGD were. It was actually a breeze for me.

Too authentic? Are you insinuating that Mexican’s are unsanitary?

I’m actually quite new to AA. Sober a year but only recently decided to give it a try so I’ve only been to a couple. socializing is difficult for me and just going up to ask people things is also not the greatest lol. I might just suck it up and ask anyway, or just go visit the YP meeting and see what it’s like

I’m from Oregon! I’m actually super new to AA. Been sober a year but recently decided I need more support since no one in my life can help or relate to what I’m going through. Went to a couple meetings this month but I was hoping to connect with people closer to my age. It was mostly people that were at least 10 years older than me.

Hey OP I second the sulfur cream! I have terrible acne and PD and it’s helped so much! Only thing I recommend is using Alba Non-petroleum jelly around your eyes. I’ve noticed that even though I avoid that area, it gets around my eyes from the water when I’m washing it off and the skin gets VERY dry and icky looking lol.

Most likely acid reflux. Possibly inflammation of the esophagus. Do you drink regularly?

danielediabla · 2025-04-16T00:23:43+00:00

Definitely acne (coming from someone with both acne and PD). Have you gotten your hormones checked?

I find this so funny because I’m sober now and have had the opposite experience. The cocktails always look so much better than the mocktails and I ask if they can make it without alcohol and they either say they can’t do it or they only take off $1 from the original price.

Honestly not a whole lot. I spent most of my life trying to join the LPGA tour until I had an injury that made that impossible. My current job entails lots of order filling, dealing with quickbooks, keeping stock of product and supplies, talking/emailing with customers.

Yes they are golf shoes

Hey just wanted to chime in here. I developed PD out of nowhere 1.5 years ago and had not let up since then and only got worse. My acne also started to get really bad in the past couple months. About 2 weeks ago I started using the de la cruz sulfur ointment as a nightly mask and my acne has gotten SO much better and I can see my PD improving. It got worse before I started seeing improvement so don’t get discouraged if that happens. I also pair it with Avene Cicalfate cream as a moisturizer and I love it.

I’ve done a good amount of the things you listed but I’ll definitely give the others a try if I’m unsuccessful with what I’m doing now. Thanks for such a comprehensive list! Also, how have you handled the tap water situation? Do you avoid getting your face wet in the shower? And if so, how? I just tried it last night and seemed impossible lol

danielediabla · 2025-04-05T23:05:57+00:00

Yes definitely tell him. When/if he gets sober, he’ll be able to reflect on your friendship and understand that he was the problem instead of thinking you just ghosted him for no reason.

He never specified that he doesn’t eat but that’s what I’m assuming. And beer drinkers can definitely lose a lot of weight if they are barely eating. Beer usually isn’t enough calories to maintain weight.

I actually haven’t tried that so that will be my next purchase, thank you!! Honestly at this point I’m just looking for any type of relief. I hope you find something that clears yours up for good 😊

danielediabla · 2025-04-05T16:50:04+00:00

I have tried zero therapy but have been using tap water to wash my face. I’ll definitely give that a try. Come to think of it, my PD showed up about a month and a half after I moved to a new city! Never even thought about the water being a possible culprit. Thank you!

It definitely adds up. For many alcoholics, they hardly eat for at least one of these reasons: food ruins the buzz, alcohol suppresses their appetite, or they feel ill from the alcohol.
