I've lost 65 lbs since I cut back on alcohol and soda and stuff. I always wondered why I got so big in high school. It was all the partying and alcohol I was consuming daily. Now that I've stopped I've felt a lot better. And I'm getting back in shape. I haven't drank in over a month. So if you're struggling with an addiction and have problems overcoming it. Always remember, never give up. Cause once you get through it. It will be so worth it.
