Approved Log Semaglutide Journey

[Npcclassicphysique champ]

Hey All,

@ZenithHealth has been wonderful, he has been a guiding hand, no pressure, showed understanding. He is not (as far as I know a medical professional) but he is helpful, quick to reply and if you have read his previous posts; EXTREMELY SUPPORTIVE. I have reached double digits, as to be expected, I eat very little, I do seem to have some trouble from time to time from nausea but generally speaking it has been tolerable. On the Alcoholic side of the experiment, I would say it doesnt work in relation to a complete stop of drinking. To give you an example: I will drink maybe 3-4 drinks, most of those drinks are a hassel to consume, I will try to force them down and will end up throwing them up but it will not deter me from drinking.

I am trying to think of real world use case of using Sema to treat Alcoholism/Addiction, a part of me says maybe short stay patients (less than 30 days) but as I mentioned I have been in rehab twice; if you participated and attend meetings after you have left then Sema would probably be pointless. Another problem there would be addicts entering a rehab/dryout facility and already being in poor health as when you are a full blown drunk you probably haven't been eating properly anyway.

The only thing one gains from Sema and Naltrexone working together is an inability to drink excessively but it absolutely does not stop the "Mental Obsession to drink"

I am drinking less, maybe this is good thing? I just dont think its a cure. I have said it time and time again, I am going to start hitting the weights, if I achieve this then maybe the whole experiment is a good thing? Time will tell?

(anyone notice how asymmetrical my back is? maybe scoliosis?)

@poopoobum great to see you back bro happy to see you drinking less, inability to drink to excessively is a good thing

i checked your original photos and this, look like you've actually dropped weight, how much weight did you lose?

 

[Mobster]

I'm not seeing the thinking here. Why would a Type II med help?

 

[stevesmi]

i haven't drank in almost 20 years.

i have 0 desire to. so there is no reason for you to think you can't either

 

[ceo]

bros you gotta work on losing more fat. that will help your back

 

[ROIDDERS]

when you have a super strong chest but weaker back you will pronate.

It's pretty normal, but it's not good.

 

[chesty]

Work on, strengthening your back. That will go a long way.

But you also have to work on flexibility and Mobility.

 

[Ulter]

Look into hot yoga.
It will help straighten out your spine because that's not good for you long term.

 

[e2]

Until you stop to drinking, you're never gonna reach your goals.
You gotta figure out how you're going to do it.

 

[2Thick]

semaglutide kills your appetite and if you over eat you will develop Nausea..

But that's cool. You're experimenting with the drinking as well.

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

I would set a goal to stop drinking. It doesn't have any purpose and no health benefits.

 

[Wootoom]

Alcoholics will always justify a reason to drink.

You've got to get away from it and you've got to every time you get the urge do something else. Maybe go for a walk.

@poopoobum it’s a start that you are drinking less man but give it up for good. You will feel so much better and we are all rooting for you.

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

Addiction is tough man but drinking is definitely the worst thing you can do for your health and fitness.

Thanks for the kind words mate!

Honestly well done dropping over 10kg in such a short amount of time, you should definitely be proud of yourself about that, keep it up! Also, do you have a goal weight in mind?

In regards to the drinking yeah Sema just helps with the physical side of things when it comes to alcohol, it absolutely will make it harder to drink by making you feel more bloated etc. if your heart is set on having a drink, it is definitely possible to push through the nausea, you are saying you are only having about 3-4 drinks, so even though its not stopping you from drinking at least it seems its helping keep your consumption levels way down, how much were you drinking a day on average before sema?

@poopoobum Bro you should try yoga......

Good to hear

In a session I was drinking 8-12 drinks, most days I can drink 2-3 since on the Sema. Obviously I was hoping for a miracle cure but this doesnt seem the case. I am trying to think of a real world situation where Sema could be used to treat Alcoholism from an addicts perspective but I cannot see a probable use case.

Reading from the comments here, most people do not have a flying clue about being an Addict, ill probably write a post on how addiction works.

I try to think of positives; yeah I am drinking less but I am still going to the bottle shop (Australian vernacular for Liquor store, the only place you can buy liquor ((think LC in canada)) after work and drinking 3 cans on the way home from work, my job requires me to drive and we have on road breath tests so if I lost my license I would be in serious trouble.

There is less contention in my house because my wife isnt busting me drinking, remember Im meant to be a recovering alcoholic so every time I drink and get caught, its a huge disappointment for everyone followed by big arguments.

Positives would be: I am not hung over anymore, my health must be improving because my liver and other organs are not taking a beating from drinking large amounts anymore, I am doing less risky behaviour like drinking 10 drinks, running out and getting behind the wheel to get more, harmony at home is better etc

Yeah I think in life there is no miracle cures unfortunately, there are many things that can give you a boost but nothing thus far that can suddenly take away something as powerful as an addiction.

at least you are reducing consumption by about 75%, that's a really good start, hopefully you can whittle that number down to 0 in due time.

I have never been an addict myself so it's hard for me to relate, but just glad to hear that at least your homelife and health is doing alot better, hang in there brother, definitely rooting for you!

To be real I think most of us know about addiction @poopoobum but all of us know about self control as well. I've done my share of serious drinking before and openly discussed it. The reality is you do have control of your life, you need to get into AA program and you need to do something before you lose your license and lose your life. EVO family will support you during this time, but you need to do your part as well.
It's time for you to look at your wife and your family and make the choice, drinking or them.
