Hi Littlesongbird. I really think that when you quit drinking you will gradually feel better on the inside, which will improve the way you look on the outside. Almost every one of my pictures while I was drinking made me look gross, especially towards the end. My pictures are much better now but looking at the old ones makes me kind of sad. I should have been nicer to that person I was. Maybe then I wouldn't have suffered for so long.
I never knew a genuinely happy person who wasn't beautiful. Start being kinder and gentler to that girl you see in the pictures, instead of criticism try to have some compassion and I think your pictures and your feelings towards yourself will change for the better. Sending you big hugs and lots of understanding.
