I quit drinking and smoking weed two years ago. After that, people started saying I looked great, that I was glowing — and I felt good too. So I took it further and lost 58 pounds. Now I just feel... awful. I’m 39, and everything suddenly looks older. Sagging in places that weren’t sagging even a year ago. One of my closest friends (who’s very honest) even said she was surprised by how much older I look now. I thought quitting the bad stuff and getting healthy would give me that “full circle glow-up” moment. Instead, the glow is gone and I feel more insecure about my appearance than ever. Though I’m still sober. And that matters. I guess I just don’t know… does this count as getting my looks back? Or is it permanent? #SobrietyJourney #WeightLoss #AgingHonestly #LifeAfterAddiction #Skincare #RealTalk #HelpNeeded
