I struggle a ton with body image, and one of the "benefits" of drinking before getting sober was feeling like I looked so much better (uh, until the next morning, when I definitely looked WORSE because of the alcohol and resulting impact on fluid metabolism, skin, and sleep). I try to remember the new and improved "after shot" now that I don't drink. While that doesn't solve my struggle with body image, it sure helps.
