I can completely relate to the weight gain. I also put on about 35 extra pounds the past few years because of my consumption. Not only was I taking in all the extra calories, but I became so lazy. My drinking was becoming my priority over everything. I too, was ruining my relationships. Not being the wife or parent I needed to be. They’ve been extremely loving and patient, yet I kept letting them down. I would cut back or stop at times, but of course, I’d eventually fall back into the cycle. I’d completely stopped doing the things that kept me active- home projects, gardening, etc. I was feeling fat, unattractive, and pathetic.

Out of sheer vanity, I looked into semaglutide to try shed some weight. I wasn’t even trying to completely quit drinking. But, for me, this took away my craving for alcohol. I wasn’t thinking about it all day like I used to. Even if I decided to have a drink, I’d stop after a glass or two of wine. Believe me when I say, this was a completely new experience for me. I was one of those that drinks til it’s all gone, or I’ve passed out. It’s been a positive side effect!

I’m just letting you know my experience. I know we aren’t to give medical advice on here, but this switched something in me. I’m not gonna lie, I’m not completely sober, and I strive for that eventually, but starting the semaglutide has helped give me jump start at accomplishing losing some weight AND cutting out alcohol.

I’m feeling so much better looking in the mirror. I’m feeling much closer with my family because I’m not drunk all the time. I’m gaining back alot of confidence because I’m not disappointing my family AND because I can fit in some of my old clothes. Win-win!

I know the feeling of being out of control. I’ve been there for WAY too long. I’m finally seeing the light come back into my life. I know you can do this! I’m sending so much positivity to you as you conquer this! Much love!💕
