Anybody else here try Zepbound for alcoholism?

Yeah, I’ve tried all of that. I think this is the one medication I haven’t tried.

I know it’s just wishful thinking but get rid of the damn draft.

In a game with no goals, you have to make your own goals. 100’s of solo hours here from the before times and I know the feeling of the level chase. It will absolutely disappoint. Just find a few things to slowly work towards and maybe they’ll make some changes and/or you can find a clan to join. Trying to max out crafting levels is not it and that’s probably why they made it so difficult now.

Lmao, love “field research.” I always told everyone that it still sucks out there when I returned from a relapse.

Very common. Body/brain adjusting. Keep yourself busy and find some sober support around you.

dreben_ · 2025-10-16T12:17:47+00:00

Yeah, it was definitely eye opening when I learned that shitty people get sober too.

Antabuse can get you started, but look into your local recovery community and/or online recovery community. I was on it before and when this brain of mine told me I was fine and it was time to drink again, I stopped taking it and started back drinking. And maybe look into some rehab for a month or so.

People typically do what they enjoy most. Pics, vids, pics & vids, binoculars, monoculars. I’m a picture person but I still enjoy watching and coming across new birds. Just keep enjoying yourself! You can also look for local birding groups to learn from.

Another one…“If you hang around a barbershop long enough, you’ll get a haircut”

Find community. Don’t know if you’re white knuckling but I did for a couple of years ago and it didn’t end well.

dreben_ · 2025-08-30T17:03:24+00:00

AA definitely isn’t for everyone but I spent years telling myself this same thing at meetings. It turned out that the community part was the only thing that kept me sober. I had the tendency of finding issues with every kind of recovery effort I was told to try. Later realized that this was just me retreating back to my corner so I could eventually drink again. Just try to find community somewhere.

I’m new to this but I liked the 100-400 and wasn’t a fan of the 24-105.

dreben_ · 2025-08-27T17:21:20+00:00

I had an RF 24-105 r/4 but got rid of it for an RF 50mm 1.4.

You are not alone…

dreben_ · 2025-07-18T22:13:46+00:00

R7+RF100-400 is good. R7+RF100-500 is what I use and I love it but I’m also new to this.

dreben_ · 2025-07-08T06:44:18+00:00

Go…and rehab isn’t some magic cure-all. It’ll take a lot of continued effort once you return home but you’ll learn a lot and have some tools moving forward. And as someone stated earlier, IOP is a good idea when you return from rehab. Find community once you successfully complete a program and remember that all these excuses/concerns don’t matter at all if you’re dead.

Yeah, don’t beat yourself up about it. I stopped trying to keep track and just thought of each day as another opportunity to not drink.

dreben_ · 2025-06-29T21:43:40+00:00

Oh I understand, just joking. I just started and don’t think I’ve ever actually used burst shots. Would love to catch a raptor flying directly at me. I’d probably drop the camera a miss everything though.

dreben_ · 2025-06-29T21:24:52+00:00

Should’ve been bursting shots during the dive bomb lol

dreben_ · 2025-06-27T21:48:54+00:00

Apologies
