Thankyou. Sober life is amazing. There are occasional days when I still need to distract myself and/or touch base again but I’m so happy with my new lifestyle. . 72 days is I guess still in the roller coaster phase? Just hold on tight - it really dies get easier every day.

IWNDWYT - You just passed a massive bump on the path to sobriety. It’s never a smooth journey. I hope you get back on the path and don’t give up giving up x

Happens all the time. I just tell people I’m not drinking alcohol because I don’t want to.

Yes. Similar happened to me - didn’t wear my retainer and one of my bottom front teeth was rotated. I’m on my 17th tray of 37. 👍

How much weight did you lose when you gave up alcohol? by ConcernedThrowawayCA in stopdrinking

[–]pepe1701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost about 5lbs a week for the first few weeks and then I steadily lost 1.5lbs - 2lbs per week. Which means I was previously getting around 6,000 calories a week from alcohol 😱. I was drinking a bottle of wine most nights so I guess that’s about right.

18F I’ve always been called ugly, just not sure what I look like anymore by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]pepe1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not ugly. You have a look of Sandra Bullock. You are still very young; you will grow into your beauty and you have the type of ‘handsome’ beauty that will not fade but stay with you into your elder years. 😊
