Has sobriety brought weight loss to anyone?

It will once you caloric intake balances. Alcohol is all very high in calories. Once we quit drinking we have a massive drop in caloric intake.

I actually gained almost 15lbs but I might be an anomaly...

That happens too. The big thing that happens is when you cut alcohol there is a huge drop in sugar and calorie intake. You body craves it so ya wind up eating a lot more. If you catch it in time you should lose weight

I first gained weight in the beginning by eating a TON of sweets, but now I'm back down to the weight I was at like 18

I gained almost 30# the year or so after I quit. It was a good thing though. Turns out I was just really skinny for a long time. :joy:

As a result of not drinking, you consume far less sugar/calories than before. I personally felt more active after about a week so that also might’ve helped. Plus stopped eating sweets no matter how tempting.. (omg I :heart: cupcakes :cupcake: lol)
