Food I would never touch sober . I am just eating when hungry and not overeating anymore like I did when I was drinking . I also feel like I have lost some weight , still not enough though , I developed a belly from all the beer and bad eating . Anyways , was just wondering if anyone can relate . Thanks for reading !!
The itchiness is common. I had issues with it as well. I have had numerous relapses in the last year. Every period of sobriety I’d get itchy a few days in. I understand that it is not skin-related, but an overactive nervous system.
