Alcohol can cause weight gain. Once you are on the right track, you should be able to lose it

Good job on getting rid of the alcohol....
call a friend, do a puzzle, an exercise tape... read a good book..
fight for it. You will be ok.

I'm glad to hear that you cleaned the alcohol out of your house. Please hang in there and do know we are here to support you not judge you. With giving up any addiction whether it be food, alcohol, smoking, drugs etc. it does feel like you are losing a friend. My addiction was smoking and it wasn't until I really began to realize this so called friend was really no friend at all to me that I could say good bye once and for all. Sometimes I think I miss it or want to visit once again but that's when I have to remind myself of how toxic that relationship was and how hard I worked to break it off. Then I can pat myself on the back and be proud of my accomplishment. You can do this Clea and please keep reaching out to us instead of a drink and you will get past this addiction and feel proud of your success. You are in my prayers. If you ever want to PM me feel free to so.
