What was your personal tipping point that made you decide now is the time for THR?

Hi All!

I am facing THR (sooner rather than later) but still in 'contemplation stage'. I'm curious if you can remember a moment or period when you decided 'now is the time' and what your reasons were?

I'm hoping this will help guide me and maybe move me a little sooner than later, as I suspect I will be tempted to push it out as far as possible (too far).

Thanks in advance for your openness! 🙏💜

...will Pickle Ball be thebonly option left?

Facing THR (left) and have been putting it off for 3-4 years out of general fear and genuine fear that my racket sports days will be over.

Anyone here had experience in this? Can you play any of these sports again, and if so how?

Give me hope brothers and sisters.

I was prescribed a GLP-1 (Mounjaro). Since being on the medication (4 months) I have been to one OA meeting and felt very uncomfortable. It feels like you are walking on egg shells sharing anything to do with your experience.

In online communities I have been lambasted and shamed too. Old timers tend to be the worst, totally closed minded and downright viscious at times.

In other 12 step communities I have not seen this resistance. Actually Bill Wilson the Co-Founder of 12 Steps (AA) was very open minded and pro-science. He even tried LSD to curb his alcoholism.

OA seems rooted in the past, a 'pray the gay' (or in this case food addiction) away attitude.Real shame, that this tool is not integrated as it should be. I really think if OA continues down this path in may go the same way as Weight Watchers one day and just fizzle out.

FDA Approves First Medication for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

**Zepbound (tirzepatide)**, made by Eli Lilly, is the drug you're thinking of. It is the first medication approved in the United States for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults with obesity, approved by the FDA in December 2024. [TCTMD](https://www.tctmd.com/news/tirzepatide-gets-fda-approval-sleep-apnea-adults-obesity)

It's an injectable prescription medication that targets GIP and GLP-1 hormones to regulate appetite and metabolism. By reducing hunger and food intake, it addresses excess weight — an underlying contributor to sleep apnea. [American Academy of Sleep Medicine](https://aasm.org/zepbound-approved-fda-first-sleep-apnea-medication/)

It is administered once weekly, with a starting dose of 2.5 mg that is increased every four weeks up to a maximum tolerated dose of 10 mg or 15 mg. [Eli Lilly and Company](https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/fda-approves-zepboundr-tirzepatide-first-and-only-prescription)

It's worth noting that Zepbound is the same drug already known for weight loss — tirzepatide — just approved for this additional indication. It's intended to be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
