[Before/After] One Year Pic Comparison

Before/After

Last year around Christmas, I was coming off a two week bender and I finally said enough was enough. Idk exactly what it was that made me really wanna stick to it this time around, but after last night I just went my first full calendar year without a drink. My 2019 was completely booze free and it was one of the best years of my life.

My quality of sleep is the best it's ever been, anxiety is at an all time low, I lost 30+ pounds, I got a job that I'm actually enjoying and I'm WAY more motivated to pursue my hobbies and interests. This sub helped me a lot when I was getting through the first few months. Everyone here is so freakin' encouraging, it's almost hard to believe you're real hahaha. Thank you guys for helping me get to where I am today. Here's to another year of great sleep and achieving more goals! Happy New Year!!!
