I looked awful. I had pasty white skin. Down to about 117 lbs. (at 5ft 6"). People said I looked like Mr Burns from The Simpsons. Acne and red blotches. When I quit,...yes, my appearance did get better, but, I made a promise to myself to make my health one of my top priorities. I joined the gym, and have been weight training for two years every day. I probably can count on one hand the number of days Ive missed going to the gym in two years. I now weigh 160 lbs. My skin looks very healthy and I eat well. So,..yes, quitting drinking, alone, made me look better almost immediately, but it also, gave me the motivation to take it further.
