Oh my goodness, yes my face looks different. My mom always told me i looked really bloated and sick after days of drinking but i just shrugged her off. Then just recently i had the really disturbing experience of seeing pictures. Pictures from just last year i looked healthy and happy, and then shortcut to just a few months later, when i was drinking really heavily and having a really bad time, i was horrified at what i saw. I went to a friends wedding, trying to look good of course, but in the pics i saw that i was bloated, pale and looked just plain sick. I remember sweating a lot that day too...feeling very bad. I was looking at the pics with some of my friends and i got embarassed- they must have soooo known that something was wrong with me. I'm trying to stop now, and getting back to a place where i can look and feel healthy again is a really strong motivation. just a few of the laundry list of things i can look forward to with sobriety!
