It is amazing how quitting the drink improves one's appearance. I looked terrible-horrible rosacea, including the ocular kind that affects the eyes-they were red and goopy constantly, my complexion was waxy, I was bloated, 40 pounds overweight and my eyes had no life in them-- they reflected the horror of my existence. Now 18 months sober my complexion is clear and healthy, my eyes are bright and I went from 165 to 118 lbs. I also re-embraced yoga and cycling. Before I had no interest and no motivation in being healthy; I actually wanted to die and wondered why it was taking so long. Everything is so much better now, and not just my physical appearance. Sobriety rocks.
