From dr_dan_is_sober:
"In the first photograph, I found myself alone, nearly 300 lbs, in an extraordinary amount of credit card debt (nearly $20,000) and without a job, and, thankfully, at the tail end of a six-year-long bender of drinking a fifth every day while often contemplating suicide, supporting my fellow alcoholic and abusive partner with just my below-poverty-line income, and fighting to complete my PhD."

"I would like to give a shout out to FAVOR which has provided me with invaluable guidance on my journey. FAVOR is a national movement that supports multiple pathways to recovery."
From galaxyhigh:
"Just one of the many positive benefits of sobriety! Working out and fueling my body correctly have been a great way to see and feel results and reward myself for my sobriety. My changed body is a perk I have really enjoyed."
From silverladder:
"I went from around 225 lbs at my heaviest to consistently between 175 and 180 now. So at one point it was a 50lb difference. And yes, I missed my chin."
