Not to be too Disney about it but getting sober is cool as hell, that shit is hard to do
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
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.
A drug is literally any substance one consumes for its effects, rather than for sustenance.
Meth is a drug
Ibuprofen is a drug
Marijuana is a drug
Caffeine is a drug
Ketamine is a drug
Alcohol is a drug
And think of all the cool shit you've always wanted to do but couldn't because you were too broke and too high that you can now start.
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 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
Can confirm, while not drugs I used to smoke like a ton, then when I quit I gained a ton of weight cause i can't stop eating.
