Changed my lifestyle and all my healthproblems went away in only 2 weeks

Early Sobriety

Long story short:

Been drinking for 9 years. Everyday around 8 belgian strong beers or 2 bottles of prosseco (this is workdays, weekends were worse).

I am a 35 yo man.

Almost had a stroke and my bloodpressure was 210 over 130 when I was admitted in the hospital.

I completely stopped drinking alcohol and went full on fitness (something I was seriously into before I started drinking).

Only 2 weeks in, and I lost 8 cm of bellyfat, and 8 to 9 KG.

But all that is nice, but the most important thing is: my bloodpressure is 127 over 78 without medication !!!

A wise man once told me that you have to change 1 addiction with another.

Glad to say I am addicted to a healthy lifestyle and fitness now and no longer to alcohol.

On the pathway to becoming the man I used to be!
