Yup! A little over 4 years ago for me. I'm no where near that good, but I'm down 50lbs and still counting. I'm more in shape than I ever was as a teenager. Workout at least once a day for sure. I sometimes get the same effect, even when turning down alcohol  as well. 

 Sad reality brother! It can be lonely sometimes 

Proud of your work and effort bro! Keep pushing
