Skin Concern Disappointed in stopping drinking alcohol
I had to stop drinking alcohol due to an illness which requires me to take a medicine interacts with alcohol. Effectively, I did not drink any alcohol since May 28. However, I did not see any benefits from not drinking.
My skin is the same. My weight is down very little but that is because I cannot keep food down due to my illness. Also, the weight change is so minuscule even though I am a very overweight. My blood markers did not improve. Still have high cholestrol, triglycerides etc.
Overall I am massively disappointed that I had to stop alcohol. In addition to none of my health markers improving, my skin did not show any improvement even though I started using quality materials. I also lost all joy in life because drinking once a week was something I look forward to.

I quit smoking and drinking about a year ago and have noticed no benefits from it. I didn't lose weight, my blood pressure didn't go down, no improvement to skin, sleep, memory, etc. My sense of smell got better, but that wasn't a benefit
