Alcohol addiction has caused the suffering of thousands, if not millions of people worldwide, but the following individuals have proven that it can be overcome and that they have the power to move on with their lives.
Some are motivated to quit drinking in order to lose weight, while others are mainly concerned about their health condition. It takes only a number of photos, however, to see the amazing difference sobriety can offer.
This Reddit user by the name of ghostbackwards shared his 7-month transformation with this pair of photos.
He looks like he lost some weight and his skin isn’t red anymore.
Overall, he appears to be well and much better groomed.
Silverladder, another Reddit user, showed off his outstanding transformation in a sequence of three photos taken on November 29th of 2011, 2012 and 2013.
This renewed man stated in his post that:
“My life is 180 degrees from where it was just two years ago. I am thankful for sobriety and thankful to have a second chance at life.”
It isn’t only men who have stepped up and have given up their drinking habits.
This Reddit user who goes by the name brittsuzanne shared her amazing change as well.
She’s lost approximately 35 pounds in eight and a half months between the two photos. Not only that, she appears to have better looking skin. She is glowing!

After 500 days, the changes in his appearance have become even more apparent.
