I've got one of those already; I call it my photo album, lol!

This should serve as a real wake-up call to Ronnie Wood—I like how the software couldn't really do anything more to him except splash some red on his cheeks and eyes...

But you know what? In all seriousness, the wrinkles were the least of it for me. It's too bad there's no way to photograph the howling void I felt, the desperate isolation. That might scare some folks straight.

I don't understand how Robert Downey Jr aged so well. It makes no sense.

It would be nice to see how former alcoholics looked then and now.

Haha, notice how Angelina Jolie starts actually looking like her dad if she was a heavy drinker?

I look at pictures of me younger.... Damn where did that handsome devil go....

It's kind of funny.... I had not realized until now that I have not had any pricuters taken of me from the drunk years. My album stops shorty after 2000.

Time to make new sober memories and photoshop the hell out of them when I do!

This app is missing the crazy alcoholic hair.

As far as I can tell, Im ageing gracefully.

If people tell me I look too young to be
retired or too young to look 50ish, with
21 yrs sobriety, i'll graciously accept the
compliment and continue on my journey
in recovery.

Also needs to show those unexplained bruises from the night before -- maybe you fell off the bed? crashed into the wall? fell down the stairs? who knows.

I have some great before/after pictures. I looked ten years younger, six months after I quit drinking. My mother asked if I was using botox! True story!

I know, but that's my point, considering the amount of crap he put into his body for so long hey

Just sent this link to my sister. She is very concerned about her beautiful 27 year old daughter's drinking. I told her I'd seen this link and maybe it would make an impact, as she values her looks.

Looking at these pictures again is quite shocking!

No need to do the fake photoshops. Real life is scarier.







This one got better -

Robert Downey Jr. has remained pretty well preserved. However, with a DOC of opiates instead of tweak or alcohol that would be expected.
