I put on like 30+ lbs when I first got sober. I used food to fill the void instead of drugs. But through perseverance and dedication to improve my life I gained 5 more lbs the next year. With hard work and commitment you too can become an undatable adult at 36 years old, it’s never too late
Not to be too Disney about it but getting sober is cool as hell, that shit is hard to do
Not disney at all… hardcore af. Also being sober has its own trippiness
Also I can’t understand how it would make you fat, either. “I stopped drinking alcohol and all this water is making me tubby!”
If you abused any stims that make you lose weight a lot, dropping them usually pushes your bodyweight in the other direction. Know a few people like this. They always relapse
Alcohol is not usually considered a drug.
That is cultural. It’s poison you take to change your mind state and small enough amounts are usually tolerable enough to not cause too much of a problem. I have a drink from time to time but to say otherwise is incorrect.
That said, I’m not sure where I said that it was.
Ok now put it in context to this conversation. The post said he gained weight after he became sober from “drug abuse”. You said it is unlikely to gain weight when you quit abusing alcohol. So therefore… He was not abusing alcohol but some other drug that has a side effect of weight loss. You’re welcome, now you can continue not using your brain.
Oh I just read them as separate things, that’s all.
Heaviest I’d ever been was years back when I was deep in the sauce. It really shows in old photos.
I’m packing it back on because I’m old now, but empty alcohol calories were the worst.
I hate everything about this post
Oh don’t worry, bud… You weren’t cool.
This hits a little too close to home.
I’m just not fat yet, and not sober either
It’ll come in time, believe me.
*that
you’re not that fat yet.
I’m just skin and bones man
You could learn a thing or two from me then, my blood pressure is cholesterol
This is all the people from hs who rocked the cookie monster hat.
Fat from getting sober? Is that a thing?
I’ve heard that some people end up using food as a substitute.
Same, but it was a woman instead of drugs.
love is a helluva drug
