Multiple years sober here, keep it up, it only gets better the longer it gets. Most recently I’ve gotten into the best shape of my life, something I could never have done drinking at least a 6 pack and a pint a night.
Keep going on those multiple years yourself, kind stranger!
I actually gained a ton of weight over the last year but now that the sobriety honeymoon is over, it's time to get back in shape myself. (I went from ~180lbs up to 205lbs at one point. TBH, I was just happy to be able to eat multiple servings of decent food at a time and I took full advantage of that.)
But yeah, not so long ago, I would have berated you about being a lightweight alcoholic. I look at what I was able to drink before and hear about what you were drinking just now and that is a fuck ton of alcohol to put down. It's amazing how perception can change.
I definitely put on a little weight at first. Like you said, just being able to truly eat again was amazing!! Also, it tastes like crap, but Kombucha really helped rebalance my guts. I wish I’d tried it sooner but the taste really put me off at first.
