Yes. On a compounded semaglutide. I can finally control my hunger and a nice unexpected effect has been losing a desire to drink large quantities of alcohol. I don’t drink during the week anyway, but it seems to be the volume that turns me off to drinking. Thus a few cocktails are all I can tolerate. For context, Im 30, male, would be defined as a binge drinker on weekends. Oh, and I’ve given up nicotine entirely. I can’t tell if the drug is helping or it was just a point in my life that I finally decided I accept it makes me feel ill most of the time.
- AtlasBarfed 3y agoI'd hazard a guess that nicotine is one of the two or three most addictive substances known to humanity. Opiates/heroin is probably worse, world of warcraft is probably third :-) The drug probably helped.

- LazyMans 3y agoI like caffeine, unfortunately even small amounts tend to make me irritable and sick at the end of the day. Wasn’t always like that
- runsWphotons 3y agoWhat changed and when?
- LazyMans 3y agoI’m not sure what, but a few years ago caffeine started to give me anxiety sometimes, or sick. I guess I just got older.
- Danjoe4 3y agoCaffeine is not that addictive.
- LazyMans 3y agoSociety makes it hard as well. It’s unacceptable to be falling asleep high on opiates. Hitting a vape on a video call with coworkers is considerably more acceptable.
- frankthedog 3y agoAs a fully remote employee for years who now lives in zoom I have never seen a coworker hit a vape on a call and it would be very off putting if they did, in the same way smoking a cig while on a call would be. Context: work at a big tech co.
- y-curious 3y agoI've seen coworkers do it accidentally, forgetting their cameras are on. It's a super hard habit to quit, too, since it's innocuous (except you can't leave home without your vape!).

- UberFly 3y ago18 years later I still freebase WoW on occasion, but I can stop any time I want.
- burnished 3y agoNicotine was the hardest thing I have ever given up - three years later and I still get the occasional craving or dream where I have an excuse to smoke. This tracks with the experience of other smokes I have known. All else being equal and given you have reason to believe the drug reduces cravings, I'd guess that it is a strong factor
- rjbwork 3y agoCan you share this "compounded semaglutide" source? My doctor mentioned it but I'm a bit anxious about it. Everything out there seems so sketchy.
- chriscappuccio 3y agowellsrx is a reliable source
- LazyMans 3y agoHenryMeds. It’s a US pharmacy. I wouldn’t be afraid, it’s no different than picking up generic medications from your local pharmacy.
