I've been sober for a year & 1/2. My face is thinner,, blood pressure is down. I have lost some weight, but not as much as I thought I would- a LOT of the fat turned into muscle, tough by no means I am a jock. People have told me I look15-20 years younger than I really am- a BIG PLUS as far as I am concerned!!! The ever-ending feelings of anxiety have largely disappeared, I can actually relax...................quite a trade-off.
