Holy shit, you guys.

White wine was also my downfall but it worked the opposite way for me. I'm never been big (weighed 39 kgs whilst drinking) but I was living on empty calories from the wine and just nibbling here and there so I got really thin. I must have been depriving myself of God knows what nutrients, minerals and just NUTRITION so I looked terrible. My first week at rehab I picked up a whopping 5 kilograms, I was thrilled, and I've maintained that and look so much better. My face has filled out a bit, my skin and hair are better, and I just generally put more effort into looking good because I'm not always fighting a hangover and 'couldn't be bothered'. When I drank I either had no appetite for food or I didn't want to eat because I knew I'd get sleepy if I ate, and I didn't want to sleep, I wanted to carry on drinking. Absolutely crazy thinking and I'm glad it's over. IWNDWYT.
