  Major achievement! Travis celebrated his 745th day sober on May 13 by tweeting a photo of what he looked liked in the throes of addiction to opiates and benzodiazepines
  'LETS GOOOO!!! Wild i used to look so dead alll the f***ing time. i'm finally alive,' he tweeted.

In the 'before' photo, Travis looks positively gaunt, his cheeks hollow and his bones stark. His face is pockmarked, his eyes are rimmed and bloodshot, and his hair is overgrown and messy.

Most of all, though, he just looks miserable.

In the 'after' photo, he is unrecognizable as the same man. His eyes are bright and awake, his skin is clear, his whole face has filled out, and he looks clean and better cared for.

He also wears a slight smile on his face.

Replying to Redditors, Travis said getting sober was the 'hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life.'

'[I] stayed in rehab for over a year and a half because I couldn’t trust myself,' he said.

He said he stopped drinking soda and eating fast food, adding that 'most importantly, [I] drank a ton of water and stopped touching my face.'
