This is my 3rd week attending rehab but I find it hard to overcome the craving side.I drank 10 shots of vodka mixed with cranberry juice every day before putting in for rehab class.I attend my class 3x in a week,But during the week days I don’t attend rehab class and the craving triggered I do walk into the bar to have 2 bottles of beer .I need advice on what can be done to curb this craving of a thing...Thanks
Tharyo, I think you should go to meetings daily. They have a lot online if you can’t make it to an in person meeting. Those 2 beers are going to keep the cravings coming. You need to stop going to the bar. I hope that helps.

Thanks Wedad.....
Try vivitrol. It’s expensive but most insurance will cover.
Try non alcoholic beer
Go to meetings. Get the book “ The end of my addiction”. Search Baclofen on line and find a psychiatrist near you that will prescribe it. You must read the book first to understand…

It’s like ARS says go to meetings get a sponsor. Rehab outpatient three times a week just isn’t going to cut it. You need to go to meetings. 90 meetings in 90 days. You will hear your story you will hear other people talk about relapsing. You will find listening to meetings will help you. Go there talk about what’s going on with you. He will be surprised of the people it will be willing to help you. Bring it up in a Open discussion meeting. That’s what we’re all here for. We’re all here for the same thing to stay sober to get rid of our disease and our demons. I might have a few years sober. But when I wake up in the morning that is the only day that I have sober. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will never get here. It’s always one day every day of my life is one day. And nonalcoholic beer it’s got alcohol in it most people don’t know that. It might not be much but it’s alcohol. So I wouldn’t even bother with that stuff. You gotta have faith in yourself if you don’t have faith in yourself I have faith for you. You can do this we all can do this. Open your eyes Open your ears and just listen and watch .

Simple, get to a rehab where you can’t leave.
Hi Tharyo, I’m not sure how you feel about RX but tbh if the cravings are THAT heavy definitely consider taking to a dr about a craving suppressant like anabuse. I definitely was against rx but I must say it’s helping me hold it down, along with the zen & therapy stuff of course.

Funding nowadays is always available in most states for rehabs. Just saying. He’s already funded for 3 days. Anyway, whatever.
