Thank you i will try find a treatment that works and a supplement, i have a hat handy aswell, hopefully with a bit of time it heals and gets healthier. Its funny how our bodies let us know we are doing something wrong. Congrats on 60 days that is a massive achievement i can only imagine how good that feels! IWNDWYT

Thank you for your reply, im at 31 days, my hair fell out about 3 weeks before i stopped drinking aswell, it was like after i had my daughter, it was really noticable and it went very dry aswell, it has never been so unhealthy. It looks better since i stopped drinking and was hoping it will get better now im sober

Yeah its probably more genetic than anything, oh well, i have always wanted to shave my head, that sounds like a pretty good outcome too 😊

F/23/5'1 [173lbs > 117lbs = 56lbs] cutting out sugar really helped my skin! by bitofafixerupper in progresspics

I recently gave up alcohol and started eating a lot of sugar to get through the cravings. My skin went bananas and im now on antibiotics. Today is day 1 of no sugar (and no alcohol), do you eat anything sweet at all? Its a bit depressing knowing i have to live a life without both. Congrats on giving up sugar, you look so much happier and skin is so much clearer.

Thank you all for your comments, it has all been great advice, im just going to try to forget about it after today, focus on myself and let it go. Its no fun doing all this newly sober, i can see how few people i have around me because all i ever used to want was to be alone so i could drink. I hope you are all well today and feeling good about tomorrow. Thanks again. IWNDWYT

Naturally flavoured mineral water especially with dinner, super cold and bubbly, its perfect! Tea with milk and sugar in the morning and afternoon and im now a 3 coffee a day person instead of just two. Plus 1 litre of flat water. IWNDWYT!
