I was a daily drinker for 30 years or so, and after I quit about a year ago, someone said to me, "You're a whole different color now." My face was always red, and now it's not. I also had high blood pressure during those drunk years, and I convinced myself that it was just my physical makeup, my genetics. But now my blood pressure is normal.
@snu3877 Жыл бұрын
YES! Drinking makes us white gals/guys so ruddy in the face, very unattractive. I was also delighted when I stopped drinking that my nice, porcelain skin came back. Also, even with a vegan diet, my blood pressure was still high. It went back to normal within 6 weeks of not drinking! First time in decades it was normal.

I drank since i was 13....now im 33...i was to the point of where my body needed it..my attitude was awful..i felt horrible everyday..i had no energy..didnt sleep well..etc..I stopped drinking and went on a diet a year ago...built a gym at my house and started working out..I went from 250lbs to 170lbs..(lost 80lbs)..I feel like I have got a second chance at life..I feel like I have been reborn...I'm a totally different person and feel better than I have ever felt in my life..If you have the slightest thought about quitting drinking, DO IT! You will not regret it! You will realize that all of the people you drink with arent really your friends..they just wanted someone to drink with..after you stop you will not only feel better, but be able to make long lasting friendships and relationships with people who truly care about you...Good luck to all!!

It's a knock on effect, not only do I look better in sobriety ..my brain grew back, that in itself just made me use all my collective knowledge about eating more healthily and put it into action. You are what you eat it's as simple as that. Cool vid Kevin yet another inspiring reason to stay quit. Sometimes I wish the sale of alcohol was banned from the UK I see so many people harming their lives (and those around them) it's a very anti-social drug when abused and you'd be hard pressed to actually find anyone that sticks to the so called "healthy limit" I tried that 2 glasses of red wine per day thing a few years ago before I quit and it almost always ended up being 2 or 3 bottles after the 2nd day

It is so frustrating that we KNOW we feel better in so many ways when we are not drinking, yet so many of us fall back into it. Somebody in one of my FB groups called it a "comfortable uncomfortableness." Meaning, it's a misery we are all too familiar with, and sometimes we are so afraid of change we stay with what is familiar, even if it makes us terribly unhappy.

My stbx has aged a lot in the last several years due to his binge drinking. His skin is blotchy and pale and his face looks bloated. He mistakenly thinks that taking vitamins and exercising offsets the drinking, but he's wrong. The toxins in alcohol cannot be exercised away, and vitamin supplements cannot undo the damage of his regular diet of WW Smart Ones frozen dinners. Now he's aging rapidly and he's pissed about it, but not pissed enough to change his drinking and eating behaviors. I'm afraid he'll never change...

It's so sad.
