Question by hevz: How to control alcohol cravings?
I have given up alcohol but would like something to help reduce the cravings I am getting in the evenings. I have read about kava, st johns wort, gaba etc. Do any of these really work or can anyone recommend any other products? I have had finished a course of diazapam from my gp but the withdrawal in the evenings is still such a battle. I am attending a rehab group but just want something to take the edge of the cravings. Should I see a different doctor as many others at my group seem to have been given various forms of medication to see them over the next few weeks?
Alcoholism is the practice of drinking alcohol and it gradually takes the shape of addiction. It begins with occasional drinking, but soon it becomes a habit and the addict takes to regular drinking. Some drink under societal or group pressure. Others drink to evade responsibilities. In no time, the person becomes slave to the habit and cannot live without it. It is a fallacy that alcohol intake de-stresses life. One can easily recognize an alcoholic by his or her puffy face, blood shot eyes and hoarse voice. An alcoholic usually experiences disturbed sleep, impaired judgment, rapid pulse rate, unstable gait, bouts of vomiting and delirium. Also an alcoholic suffers from mood swings, irritability, and heights of emotions, suspicion and lack of confidence.
Alcohol intake disrupts the balance of certain brain chemicals like gamma-aninobutyric acid, dopamine making the alcoholic’s body crave for drinks, and also making him or her highly impulsive. Alcoholism ultimately leads to hazardous health ailments like cirrhosis of liver, damage of brain cells, stomach disorders and flaccid heart. Men are more likely to fall a prey to alcoholism than women. The causes of alcoholism include genetic predisposition, emotional stressors like demise of partner, loneliness, disharmony in conjugal life, heartbreak, inability to address ambitions, getting cornered in office etc, economic woes like loss of job and inability to meet family expenses, huge debts etc and psychological ailments like depression, schizophrenia etc.

I’m prescribed Klonopin (clonazepam) 1 1/2 .5 mg tablets per day which is definantly not even touching the volume or anxiety I have.
My old doctor had me on 3 1 mg Tablets per day, which worked better but I find myself taking 2 mg to 3 mg to control my attacks sometimes multiple time’s a day.
Because I don’t have insurance yet with my job I have to deal with a state issued doctor, and she doesn’t exactly like giving out clonazepam to anyone so lately I’ve been turning to Alcohol to control the outbreaks.

This is what is really going on across America from major cities to suburban neighborhoods. Are you the Americans going to take this with a smile. Are you going to trust the government to fix this problem when they dont even have any regulations for it. What are you going to do.

I have social anxiety quite badly. I go to a counselor, but still have not been able to over come it. I don’t want to be on medication. Is it ok to drink in moderation to help control these feelings? Until recently I never drank at all because it was against my religion. Sometimes now I drink a bit when I know there is going to be a social event or to help calm me to sleep. Is that ok?
