Can confirm. Been on it for 4 months to lose weight I’ve carried around my middle and was adding a pound here, pound there every year. 5’4” 176lbs when I started and am down to 147. I did everything by the book, and in order for my insurance to even LOOK at paying for it, I had to do all the fitness things that I’ve done all my life anyways first. I’m 53 and working out, eating correctly, counting everything I put in my mouth for 6 months DID NOT WORK. Fitness girl that posted above hasn’t met everyone. Since being on a GLP-1, I have ZERO cravings for alcohol. I have been a severe alcoholic. I have been to rehab twice. I have been hospitalized once. I have had DTs to the point of seeing and hearing things. I used to live in fear of slipping a fourth time, because it would most likely be my last. This medication is a lifesaver for me, and alcohol was not my only addiction - it was just the legal and easily accessible one. I think GLP-1 should be an option for EVERY SINGLE ADDICT.
