It basically works by taking the 'fun' out of booze - You carry on drinking after you start taking it and after a while you can't be bothered because nothing really happens - Drinking becomes boring - It doesn't take long for your brain to say 'whats the point' and you stop craving - I had the 5 day withdrawal shit, and that was bad - Some Diazapam helped though.....

I was hoping I would drop a few pounds - Not happening though - I can't stop fucking eating now - Oh well - One thing at a time...

BTW - It is meant to work well for opiate abusers as well - You have to be more careful though because the withdrawal effects could kill you.....
