When did you notice changes after quitting alcohol?

[Travelban]

Hello everyone,
I gave up alcohol 3 weeks ago as I started to slip into drinking over the weekly unit levels and I looked permanently tired, my sleep hadn't been great and my skin looks very full.

Everywhere I read on the Internet says that after 2-3 weeks people start to feel great, sleep better, skin starts to glow, etc but I haven't seen any benefit yet. Skin is exactly the same and sleep is too (I have a fitbit so I can check). I truly feel exactly the same.

I am still going to persevere, but I was hoping someone could come and reassure me that st some point my sleep will improve and I will feel other benefits!!

#skin looks dull not full (autocorrect!)

How are things going now OP? Hope you have now noticed a change.

Were you a heavy drinker because you could very well suffer from cold turkey like I did. I was well over the weekly limit but felt great gave up because of an unrelated matter and did suffer for quite a few weeks from what I believe was cold turkey.

Sorry to hijack but for those successfully given up alcohol did the weight automatically start coming off without changes to eating habits ? I've some weight to shift but I know it's the alcohol weight gain not they way I eat

My weight came off over time. I was less bloated and just started looking a lot healthier again
