Anyone else ditching bad habits on Oz?

Started on the magic juice about a week ago (2 meters, 150kg) and I've barely touched cigs all week. Used to crush a pack every other day. Today I realized I don't even want one. Anyone else having positive side effects they weren't expecting?

Online shopping was my weakness. Constant stream of deliveries. Bored? Time to shop! Now? Zero desire. Haven't even opened the shopping apps, except to grab Christmas gifts. My wallet's thanking me!

There's some science behind that. Ozempic seems promising for addiction treatment by messing with the neurological reward pathways. Makes sense nicotine would be similar since it uses the same basic process, just different brain receptors.

Studies showed alcoholics on Ozempic or similar had a ~50% drop in binging compared to those not on it. Opioid users saw a ~40% reduction in overdoses too.

It's helped chill out some nerve pain on my left side from a wreck I had. I'm staying on this stuff forever for that alone.

Used to get anxiety about flying, which is ironic since I fly constantly. About a month on Ozempic and it's completely gone.

That's awesome, Jim_Now! My drinking went from like half the month to only 3 days last month, and even then I drank way less. Just keeps getting better!

Yeah, it's like it kills all my bad habits

I quit smoking before starting Wegovy, but definitely seeing it with other stuff. Can't stand coffee now, and I used to LOVE coffee. Caffeine & nicotine were my lifeblood for decades.

Other perks: Dentist says my gums are awesome, hair's growing back, eyebrows & lashes too, skin's clear & soft, and barely any loose skin. Can't believe how easy this is.

Down about 95 pounds and going strong. Never been this slim or felt this good. You can do it too! Good luck!

 

[GeekyKing466]

That's incredible! Hopefully it helps more smokers kick the habit.

It's really helping with inflammation for me.

 

[Trim-Dad]

Same here. Smoked my last one in early October.

I've also noticed a big drop in compulsive behaviors in general. Like shopping, but other stuff too. I did forget to take my Sertraline a few times when I started and I noticed the cravings came back then. Anyone else had that issue?

 

[Jim_Now]

Yeah, lots of people are saying it helps with quitting smoking and alcohol. Personally, I drink way less and the effect just isn't the same anymore.

 

[DownWithTheSickness]

Just starting to look into using it for opioid dependence.

 

[day-one-again]

I didn't smoke or drink before, but it's helped my IBS-D and my brain fog/mental state. Even helped my fibromyalgia pain.

I just stopped craving coffee. That morning urge just vanished.

 

[Lift_Ready]

Ok, so it's not just me.

I stopped drinking coffee. That thought in the morning just up and left my brain.

Used to NEED a morning latte. Now, nothing.

I get it. I used to stress eat like crazy. Now I'm stress... driving? Anyone else find a weird new coping mechanism?

I started lifting weights. Feels good to burn off the stress and feel strong. Always feel better after a workout.

It's crazy how it just kills the desire for bad stuff. I kinda miss champagne though lol. Still love that, even on Wegovy.
