Hello.....

Well anyone has tried Naltrexone to reduce alcohol cravings ...
actually i started this happy hour - strictly beers ... lepak with friends , colleaques.. clients kinda thing to kill time , avoid traffic , work requirement...
but now seems like its slowly becoming an addiction automatically my body clock wants beer once the time comes to 6.00 pm , whats worse is my office is just above and walking distance to watering holes.. and yea it surely doesnt stop at one or 2 sometimes up to 9 pints a night..

its not doing good to my health and my bank balance as well...


any advice on the Naltrexone ??

It'll help from a biology standpoint, as it competes with opioid receptors to take out the positive reinforcement of alcohol. You may still be drinking, but will feel less of the positive effects. That will hopefully slowly wean you off as you feel more of the negative effects.

You can also consider CBT to help with the cues which get associated with drinking from a behavioural standpoint, to better manage cravings associated with those cues like time of day or a specific place.
Edited to better elaborate naltrexone as an opioid antagonist. Thought I left it a bit vague initially.

@statikinetic Thanks what will be the negative effects , would u end up becoming sick after a consumption of a few beers .
