Sorry that the delayed weight loss seems to threaten your sobriety.
As the replies indicate, weight loss followed sobriety for some. Others didn't find losing weight a by-product of quitting. But it doesn't mean you can't.
For most of us, recovery meant more than just quitting. It took a plan. Weight loss can be done the same way, with a goal, clear objectives, and a plan to get there. If you put in the effort, you will reap the rewards. If you are just waiting for the weight to drop, with the self imposed pressure of relapse should that drop not happen fast enough...I wonder if the self-sabotage isn't your addiction hoping you don't lose weight.
