Tell them to take NAD+ boosters like NR or NMN, or even the good old vitamin B3 in large quantities (1g/day). Addiction is often a sign of NAD+/FAD+ depletion in the brain.

Cleary, MD, explained that we are likely to experience strong cravings for substances like alcohol when our NAD+ receptor sites are empty. That’s because alcohol drives the formation of the chemical compound acetaldehyde, which then interacts with dopamine to yield morphine-like compounds that temporarily quell cravings and withdrawal symptoms. When the NAD+ receptor sites become unoccupied again, however, the withdrawal symptoms and alcohol cravings come rushing in, driving us back to the bottle."
