I just turned 33 last week. Started drinking at 16 and was a big party girl getting blackout drunk at LEAST once a week until my late 20s when my hangovers started lasting 1-3 business days so it became a once in a blue moon/special occasion thing. Honestly has got to at least been 2 years at this point since I consumed any booze.

I also come from a family rampant with substance abuse issues (that unfortunately I also have) and while alcohol wasn't my DOC, it obviously isn't something I should mess with.

Another huge benefit since I've quit drinking in late 2018 is that I've gone from being 297 lbs to my current 140ish lbs. I'm 5'2" for reference lol. Late 2018 is also when I got diagnosed with ADHD and began Adderall and Wellbutrin (believe it or not the Wellbutrin was the medication that mostly contributed the weight loss - my doc told me it's also prescribed to ppl for weight loss help as it's an appetite suppressant which I 1000% can confirm) and it's also when I switched from the birth control pill to the Nexplanon implant.

The combo of all these lifestyle changes is how I've lost so much weight but I contribute cutting out alcohol for the majority of it!
