We've been kicking a lot of options around, none of which have been implemented yet. I do have HGH, HCG, Testosterone C and a few mild steroids ordered. And I started tesamorelin recently that is supposed to target deep fat in the stomach. Too early to tell if it's doing anything.
No, I don't mind your question
I am very sorry to hear about your niece. She is certainly not headed toward a happy future, and she must be suffering very much, whether she is able to admit it or not.
In my own particular case, my drug and alcohol addictions were lifted two decades ago solely through the 12-step program. But I have read many, many posts on the various Reddit tirz/sema subs which convey how their desire to drink is gone. Some normal drinkers actually complain about it, lol. But the people who had long been secretly wishing they could stop seem ... awestruck that they have lost their desire for it.
Much could be said about how this medication would not be a permanent solution for alcoholism, that there are deeper issues and behaviors that need changing… people say that about people losing weight on the GLP drugs, right?
I don't disagree…but I do think that a person who is starting to feel better about themselves — by not drinking, by losing weight, by maybe feeling some hope after a long time — has a better chance of seeing things a different way, and being able/willing to take even more steps towards a happier future.
Thank you@PepOhio
Hey good morning, Pep. I just came across this thread on a subreddit and immediately thought about you, and your niece.
I had no idea there is a community out there of people using GLPs primarily for alcohol use disorder. Wow
My brotha, put the needle down and step away from the vial
. Put the HGH, HCG, Testosterone C and the few mild steroids away for now.
I've been thinking about it. I really don't care if it's sustainable. If it's not, I'll just do a weight loss blast every year to remove excess and get back down to my baseline. But I do believe there will be a protocol for some drug or combo of drugs that will help us keep the weight off.
Im nearly exactly your specs! Im a 51m 5’11” starting weight was 271lbs on July 2nd, today I’m at 218lbs only using Tirz and OMAD/and eating only protein enriched food and shakes (No sugars and nearly no carbs… No breads and pastas at all.) For the last month ive used cjc1295/ipamorelin and BPC157 as when i started to work out and weight lift with heavy resistance bands i could move for days after (i have never worked out in my life! I was skinny as a teen but never was “muscular”) and after adding the CJC,IPA, and BPC i had no soreness after working out and could do it daily with no downtime. About to add Tesa as well for the lingering belly fat (and hopefully love handles). My goal is also 185-175 range by end of year. But i think i can get there. Have also been talking to my doc about peptides and shes all for it! And even told me about how her boyfriend took Anovar and it really helped him (First time i had a doc tell me go for it with peptides and mild steroids) Shes been doing blood work on me every 3 months. I went from having an A1C of 5.7 (borderline pre diabetic the day i started) to 5.2! Perfect A1C. BP went from 140/80 to 114/80!, Cholesterol from 237 to 202 (still not a great good and bad cholesterol mix but much better than it was), and PSA was good as well. She also started me on a prescription of 50,000iu of vitamin D a week (was very deficient cause it lethargy and weight loss and depressed mood) to now back to normal! And she also started me on testosterone gel 1.6% 40mg daily as i was very low! (Being 51 and morbidly obese i assumed i was low but it was very low… like 148 testosterone and a 4.4 free testosterone.) Been doing that for 3 months now and just did my bloodwork last Friday and should be getting those results today. But assume it’ll be much improved as i feel a ton better. I haven’t started adding Reta or Cagri to my regimen at all as I’m still at 7.5mg and still losing decently and just trying to be more active now that its finally starting to cool off (in Phoenix,AZ and has been over 100 degrees since April and just a week ago dropped below 100). I look and feel like a different person but am super motivated to get to goal weight before end of year. Should be sub 200 by mid November and i think ill have a chance at it but at the very least ill be very close and haven’t been that weight since i was like 18. Good luck and keep us posted as to your progress as we (besides age) are very similar to starting weight, dates, and goals.
Congratulations! That is freaking awesome! I will be celebrating 30 years 10/15. It is crazy how time flies....As a 20+ year member of AA (and NA), I could not agree with you more

Always like to keep my eyes open for new toys I probably don't need...do you have a link for the meter you specifically got?
Have you considered MOTS-C? Exercise in a bottle, I swear I feel 20 years younger since I started taking it.
It knocks me out a few hours after taking it
Although I suspect it may be related to MTHFR/MTRR gene mutations (confirmed), methylation pathways, etc. I have switched my Cyano B12 to Methyl B12 and started taking methylfolate and betaine tmg and will probably give the MOTS-C another go in a month or so. Fingers crossed because I've had terrible fatigue for a while, way before I started the Tirz. 
Before trying MOTS-C again try a course of SS-31 first. It’s supposed to repair damaged mitochondria first, then the mots-c will do a better job. And yes, Tirz fatigue was the only side effect for me but it was real. I now take 0.5ml each of MIC B12 & LIPO-C twice a week and it has solved my issue for fatigue. Another thing to look into as it was an issue for me was in my initial bloodwork i found out that i was Vitamin D deficient and had low testosterone (but didnt have the normal low T issues so never suspected) Im a guy so not sure this would apply (no idea your gender and dont want to assume) but addressing both of those was probably also pivotal in eliminating the fatigue as well.It knocks me out a few hours after taking it
The Anavar isnt prescribed but she was all on board for me taking it if i can find an affordable and reliable source (shes super open minded). SO i will look into overseas sources as well ( i always send a sample out to be tested but ive done that enough with a few vendors and have had perfect results so i know which vendors to trust so i should be good.)Let me know when you find a source if appropriate. I'm getting my stuff from China but it sounds like your doc is prescribing it for you. I've got some stuff on the way to me. My doc didn't want me to go on anything. She sees it as a sign of weakness.
Please continue to post frequent updates. It will help me to have someone in a similar situation to compare myself to/compete with.
The tesa only works on deep fat from what I've researched, but i have that problem too. I'm trying fat melting injections for the fat pouch below the BB which i had even when i was 170 pounds. So far, they don't seem to be dissolving anything. I'll give it a month or 2 to work.

I did
Nothing has stood out in my bloodwork. I did have a hysterectomy & oophorectomy so I was thrown into surgical menopause pretty early which is definitely a factor, but MHT didn't seem to help the fatigue.
Awwww, thank you. Recovery *is* freaking awesome, yes.
