Just looking for a bit of encouragement/info from long sober folks Re: skin health/rosacea
I was abusing alcohol for several years. Last year I was sober for about 7 months then fell off. I’m back on now going on a week. During this time my rosacea has been a constant issue. I’m just hoping it gets better with what I hope will be an extended/permanent stint of sobriety this time around. The redness and craggy appearance on my cheeks, as well as just the fact that I’m aging (in my late thirties), is a downer and sometimes I want to just say ‘fuck it, I already screwed up my appearance so why not just keep drinking’. Any advice and/or personal anecdotes about the same situation improving for you (or not)?What was the time frame? I researched but it’s the same AI driven info that it should improve but at the same time may never improve stuff.
Thanks
Just an update to share gratitude: you guys are awesome! I took advice here and feel great. After adjusting my skin care routine, I already feel like there are improvements. I feel much better about it all :) This community is always the best. OH! and I’m still sober :) Wishing you well on your continuing sober journey.
