@Stephanie Mitchell good share, as we say in AA, Stephanie! I'm BJ (short for Barbara Joan), live in Dallas, with a very simple life: retired, widowed, not much family. My wife died over 3 years ago and I'm learning a new lifestyle of being single after our 32 years together. My drinking got out of control over her loss and when I realized I couldn't stop on my own, I joined Alcoholics Anonymous. And when I started eating sweets for the same reasons I drank, I gained 40 lbs., talked to my doc, and she recommended the tirzepatide doses. I am in my fifth week and it's really starting to kick in: no sugar cravings, no appetite for eating dumb things. I just wanted to encourage and applaud you for being so willing to share your tender, heartbreaking story with us. You probably don't realize how much you help others by being an example of courage, authenticity, and vulnerability
