- avodonosov 4y agoConsider treatment. There are at least 6 treatment options. I heard good comments about Nalmefene or Naltrexone "as needed" (aka Sinclair Method). Even here on HN if you search for it in comments. Basically, you take a pill an hour before drinking. They suppose it works by blocking formation of conditioned reflex caused by endorphin reinforcement. In absence of reinforcement patient unlearns the habit. Psychotherapy. In particular, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I think one can provably even study this method himself and apply it. Group therapy. May be useful IMHO, because people with the same problem can share experience. Medications to help maintaining abstinence: acamprosate, disulfiram, nalmefene / naltrexone (taken constantly, unlike the Sinclair Method, where they are only taken when drinking).
