      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.

            I’m not sure where I said that it was [drugs].

            You didn’t say it, the meme said it.

            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

      I’ve heard that some people end up using food as a substitute.
