re: Jelly Roll is ok with giving his wife a "Hall Pass".

Considering he is a former drug dealer, has battled addiction, is taking action to help fight drug addictions of all types. I imagine the last thing he will want to do is take a new drug to help his battle with obesity and then be concerned about potential addictions to that drug.

You could not be more wrong. Ozempic is not an addictive drug like that, and is even being researched as a drug to help alcoholics in recovery. I’m an alcoholic with 11 months sober, and the same doctor that prescribed me Naltrexone for alcohol cravings now prescribes me Ozempic for weight management due to sugar cravings as an alcohol substitute.

I don’t know enough about Jelly Roll, but if he’s an actual addict, saying he’s “cut back on drinking” is not “taking action.” There is no middle ground with addicts. Alcoholics and addicts are, by definition, incapable of moderation with substances. It is impossible. It’s either or. It’s literally BEFORE chapter 1 in the Big Book. 1 drink is too many and 1000 drinks is never enough.

The dude is full of shite if he says he’s taking action on addiction by “cutting back.” That just means he switched from liquor to beer, or that he’s just flat out lying.
