I quit and it was a funny thing it went up with swelling and retention while my liver struggled at first, then it started just shedding away. I am now sitting comfortably 20lbs lighter. And a heck of a lot healthier and more muscle added through working out. I was knocking on deaths door when the change happened so it took about 6-8 months to get my body regulated to the new me.

My experience is very similar. I too was knocking on deaths door. I’m lucky to be where I am now. I have a long journey of healing ahead. But, I hope to one day be where you are. Thanks for sharing! :pray:t2::revolving_hearts:

I quit alcohol and took up working out and drinking more water to help avoid relapse. 6 weeks in 31 lbs lost. Its a little too much weight in a short amount of time but I know my body is going through a lot adjusting without the whiskey.
