Alcohol Cravings

I’m not your traditional user of semaglutide. While I’m a bit overweight (27M 190lb 5’9), I never considered going on Sema for the weight loss. But I’m naturally curious, so I’ve been paying attention to the drug, its progress, and this subreddit from afar.

I’ve been battling an alcohol addiction for years. Nothing ever worked for me. I was starting to lose hope and motivation. But then I saw a few comments on this subreddit mentioning a surprising/unexpected side effect - Alcohol craving suppression.

Long story short, I’ve been on Semaglutide for 60 days. All of them alcohol free! This drug is a miracle. Within just a day, I no longer felt ANY cravings for alcohol. Before Sema, the longest I went without alcohol was 5 days.

I don’t plan to be on Sema for the rest of my life. Just long enough for me to build healthy habits in order to continue having an alcohol free life.

I feel like this side effect hasn’t been discussed much, so I wanted to share my story. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
