I've started on the weight loss medication - Mounjaro - here's what I've learned.

Hello and welcome to Life to the Letter - my Substack - although ‘Dumpstack’ would probably be a better name for it seeing as it’s where I tend to dump my thoughts on all the things going on in my life as a woman, mother, writer, content creator and alcoholic in recovery. Just a reminder that all articles are now accompanied with an audio version, read by me (you’ll find it at the top of the article) in case you’d rather listen to my dulcet, northern tinted tones, than read it. I know that sometimes, the written word can be misconstrued and tone can be misunderstood so, one of the advantages of hearing me read it is that you’ll be able to know exactly how I meant it. Now, on to the article - this one is going to set the cat amongst the Substack pigeons but I hope you approach it with an open mind. That is all I ask.

Not one to keep secrets, I haven’t been coy about the fact that I’ve started Mounjaro amongst my IRL friends and family. But, much like the reason I decided to announce my sobriety on my public platforms, I’m wholly committed to being honest - even when doing so scares the shit out of me. And this is scary shit stuff.
