Pics from a year ago I am almost 5 months sober. I just got done moving some pictures off of my IPhone onto my computer. I looked at some pictures of myself from March 2016 and boy did I look awful. Bloodshot eyes, bloated face, blotchy skin. What an improvement in my appearance at only 5 months sober. It will only get better!! |
Go, you! |
It's pretty amazing what can happen when we stop pouring poison down our throats, isn't it? Congrats on your upcoming 5 months Doug! |

I started my current job at at 5 months, and have had people tell me in the past month -I am now at 13 mo- that I look like a completely different person....and I was already looking better at 5!! Words like "glow" and "so healthy" come from nearly everyone and it feels so good. Keep going!! Everything, everything is better sober. |
yeah some of my old pics scare me. i can see the look on my face and recall the panic and crap i as dealing with etc.. it only gets better! |
My daughter looked at a picture of me from a few years ago and said, wow you lost a lot of weight. When I looked at it I was amazed. It's funny how the bad (alcoholism) creeps up on you, but it is also as amazing how the good does too. I didn't really realize how much progress I have made until I looked at that picture. |
