Gaining had nothing to do with the fact that I'd stopped drinking though.....it had everything to do with the fact that I acted like a slave to pleasure and once the pleasure of booze went away, I replaced it with the pleasure of eating. "Just stopping drinking" doesn't guarantee anyone they'll lose that unwanted weight.... you actually have to eat like a person who wants to lose weight and exercise like a person who wants to be healthy.
