It's going to be 8 months tomorrow being sober. After the reaction from this amazing community yesterday, I decide to shave off my neck beard. My beard was sign of laziness and how much I had lost focus on things. Since giving up the drink life has gotten so much better, not that it wasn't great before but normally I was to drunk at night to realise. My wife has been amazing and extremely supportive to the point of not drinking with me too. Work has become so much easier and I'm producing better work. Something I would never have had the time to do due to drinking is to create my passion project, a cooking show! that's is starting to find it's legs. Thank you all of your support!

Go with less face

Do people grow neck beards on purpose? Or can they just not grow hair on their face?

Beard wasn't bad, but on the neck only made you look fatter. Keep it up.

Insult and a compliment. You're a bitch but I like you.

I don't really understand the neck beard concept. Do you have to shave everything above it, mustache and cheek hair, or is it natural?

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Thank you! Yeah I will miss it but it was time for a changes :)

The more weight you lose, the fuller your beard will look. Probably. I'm just a college kid procrastinating on his finals

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah once it doesnt look like pubic hair, its an actual beard, Grow it back when you slim down, its nice.

Did you not lose a lot of weight? Shaving did wonders for you, then!
