METFORMIN. Made by Merck, sold as Glucophage. Another possible miracle drug? My struggle with alcohol became BAD over the past five years. I'm not diabetic (tho diabetes runs in my family), but taking this every night has helped me kick the bottle FOR GOOD. Anyone else? TRY THIS if you need it!

Ordered Berberine a minute ago, thank you. I asked God to get rid off my alcohol habit, but he knows I'm weak. So he showed me this... First thread I saw today on gaw, later in the day it would be so far down that I wouldn'd have seen it.
Thank you, Lord.
edit: oh, it's a stickie now. This is God's exclamation mark.
OMG. Brother. This metformin stuff is an absolute MIRACLE. It's OTC here where I am, too!
I don’t understand what it actually does? It relieves the compulsion/desire to drink? I’m not a big drinker these days but definitely have the addictive personality.
It apparently causes the liver to not produce glucose as aggressively. That's how it'd been described to me. I'm in the Middle East/Africa right now, and a lot of old drugs that have off label or other uses that the psychotic drug companies don't see profit in don't want to promote because they aren't actually about making anyone better.
Type 2 diabetes is not a disease per se, it's completely induced by your eating habits. It's curable if you really want to. Go to youtube and search for "intermittent fasting" or "type 2 diabetes" and you should come across some great info. Basically our bodies aren't designed to be eating all the carbs we eat and as often as we eat. If you reduce your eating time to between noon and 6 pm for instance, you'll be halfway home. You can move the times around but basically you want to give your pancreas a break from producing Insulin for as long as possible each day. That will start bringing your insulin resistance back down to normal levels so your cells will absorb the glucose more efficiently.
You can help all of this by greatly reducing your carb intake, essentially a keto or carnivore diet. So a few months of keto combined with not eating for 18 hours a day straight, will drop your blood sugar way down. Get your A1c checked also, something doctors don't always check. If you are above 5.6 (and some would argue 5.2) then you need to get on that program. There's a lot more to the explanation of how all this works and if you are on Metaforin, it will do you a lot of good to understand the exact mechanism for how it works. Most of these meds cause other issues.
Soooo israel then?
Alcohol is very high in sugar content. Alcoholics are usually sugar freaks. My husband hasn't had a drink in 30 years but boy can he consume the sugar! Not a diabetic but many of his family members are alcoholic and diabetic.
What dose of Metformin do you take? Is it between 0.5 - 2.0 mg per day as the videos suggest?
One minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month at a time Anon. Dont know if you're a "meeting" type of person, but they do help a lot of people, but you need to work the plan. You got this. Stay busy and avoid the behaviour and friends that lead to slipping. I know that is a canned response, but it does work. If you fall, step back up.
Ty for your kind words, fren. I know how it works, I've been sober for nearly ten years when I was 34, but the last five years kicked me back to the addiction. For whatever reason. I felt safe, how bad can one beer be? Or four, or five? Or a bottle of wine? Or some good single malt? I can quit whenever I want to. Yeah, for sure. I lie to myself. Now I'm five years in and just have enough.
The first time I got rid of alcohol I went to a therapy for three months, now, with a little help, I will to do it on my own, together with my wife.
It's not like we ruin ourselves, we have a good life, wonderful kids, we're awakened, but we just drink too much. We can't be fully awakened when we take poison on a regular basis. This is stupid.
I had a lot of addictions in my life, cocaine, extasy, cigarettes, amphetamine, I got rid of all of them, alcohol sticks to me. But my mindset changed due to the awakening, so I'll get rid of the alcohol, too.
I found back to God, and he doesn't want me to drink. When I was on my own, I chose to drink. I'm not on my own anymore.
I can’t say I’ve really been addicted to anything but your words stir me. I’ve dabbled and experimented with everything short of needles. The relaxation of pot almost got me but the apathy and the constant drowsiness steered me away from it permanently. I didn’t like being a dull sword. Alcohol though, whew man, alcohol. I want to think I don’t have a drinking problem as I don’t drink to get drunk. I just love beer. The flavor of the craft beers are so amazing and a 10% beer is about as smooth as Coors Light. I keep playing games with myself though like limiting the amount I drink, limiting the days I drink. In the end the volume at each session is not the issue but the fact that I have to keep having sessions is a clear dependence problem. Drowsiness is rearing it’s ugly head with this too. The biggest guilt I feel is the pull and the coveting beer more than Jesus at times. Am I getting drunk. No. Am I loving something more than Christ. Yes. Thank you for your words. They remind me of that great song I’ve heard a 1000 times before I noticed what the words actually say and the meaning behind them and how song becomes even better. As steel sharpens steel so it is with men. Godspeed in your battle and to Him be the glory. With renewed confidence I will be fighting alongside you.
It's a battle and addiction is f-ing tough. I have been down that path. I know for some 12 steps and programs help, I struggled with that route, did it and got my chips and a cake. Dont beat yourself up, step back up on the wagon and move forward. Meetings help, a sponsor helps. It will get you thru the rough patch and help you get your stuff together. One step at a time, you got this.
