The IRGC is starting to get restless as the continued global blockade on Iranian affiliated vessels begins to have a visible effect on their composure. Lashing out at neighbouring Gulf state's oil infrastructure was one of their stated rungs on their escalation ladder to re-escalating hostilities
>The United Arab Emirates says its air defences intercepted 15 missiles, four drones fired by Iran today, with authorities in Fujairah reporting a fire at an oil facility. No official comment from Iran.
>Two missiles hit a US frigate in the Strait of Hormuz after it ignored warnings from Iran’s navy to halt, state media quote the army as saying, with the US military saying no vessel was struck.
>US President Donald Trump announced a naval mission, dubbed Project Freedom, to guide stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz.
>Israel continues to bombard Lebanon, wounding five medics, and has expanded its area of control in Gaza by announcing a so-called “Orange Line”.
I started the new year after hammering my brain, liver, and gut with binge drinking throughout all of December 2025 before going cold turkey to snap out of it. I was still weak, and turned to another month of heavy cannabis use to dull the pains of the alcohol withdrawals before going cold turkey on that as well - both alcohol and THC withdrawals from my level of abuse would've needed at least 9 months of natural recovery time.
BPC-157 and TB-500 have pulled the finish line forward at only 2 months of use.
I was getting 3-4 hours of sleep at a time, my brain fog was thicker than oatmeal, my digestive system was scorched from the litres of wine I'd guzzled every day, and my brain was inflamed and overworked by the task of dealing with both withdrawals at once (ADHD didn't help either), leading to me becoming more easily irritated, aggressive, and scatter-brained.
I'm on Day 18 of using the peptides to speed up my recovery, and this past week:
- I've started regularly getting 6+ hrs of sleep per night - last night was my first 8 hours of sleep in MONTHS
- The brain fog is getting thinner as I work through my sleep debt
- My digestive system is finally able to process the keto whole foods that I've switched to in order to give my body the building blocks it needs to recover
- I'm generally feeling more positive knowing that I only have ~40 more days left, compared to the unassisted 9 months, and it feels like it's only getting better by the week.
My only regret is not starting sooner
