[quote=Anonymous]OP I have two thoughts I want to share, one about weight and one about emotions. I would avoid hoping for weight loss, just because if weight loss is your motivator and you don't see weight loss, you might start up again. Quitting is worth even if you see the scale go up. Not that I don't think you'll lose weight. I wasn't worried about my weight but hospital records show I went from a BMI of 24 to 22 without trying. About emotions: yes your emotions are going to take some time to even out. First of all alcohol messes with all parts of your brain including parts that help with emotional regulation. Those neurons can atrophy and it'll just take a bit of time for them to rebuild. Second you may have been using alcohol to hide some feelings and if you no longer numb them, you're going to start feeling them. This is painful but good. [/quote]
