Mike stared at the empty wine glass, his third of the evening. Again.
At 42, this successful architect from Denver had promised himself – and his wife – that he'd cut back. Monday through Thursday, no drinks. Just weekends.
That lasted exactly one week.
It wasn't that he couldn't stop. He could. For a day or two. But then a stressful client call, a bad commute, or just... Tuesday. And suddenly he was reaching for that familiar bottle again.
"I wasn't an alcoholic," Mike explains. "I didn't need a drink to get through the day. But I couldn't seem to NOT want one either. That craving was always there, just waiting."
He'd tried willpower. He'd tried apps. He'd tried switching to "healthier" drinks like hard seltzer. Nothing worked for more than a few days.
Sound familiar?
You're not alone. And more importantly – it's not a character flaw.
Because what Mike didn't know – what most people don't know – is that alcohol cravings are neurological, not psychological.
And there's a simple, FDA-approved pill that can turn them off.
Why willpower alone almost never works
Sound like you?
🍷
You say "just one drink" but somehow end up with three or four
🔄
You've tried Dry January (or similar) and made it... a week
😴
Your sleep quality has tanked, but a nightcap feels like the only thing that helps
⚖️
You've gained weight and know alcohol is partly to blame
🧠
You feel foggy, anxious, or just "not yourself" more often than you'd like
💭
You think about drinking more than you want to admit
Here's the thing: these aren't character flaws. They're brain chemistry.
When you drink, your brain releases endorphins that bind to opioid receptors. That's the "buzz." That's the reward signal that makes your brain say "do that again."
Over time, your brain literally rewires itself to expect that reward. The craving isn't weakness – it's neuroscience.
The Science of Cravings
49%
of heavy drinking behavior is driven by neurological reward pathways, not conscious choice
— American Journal of Psychiatry, 2023
That's why willpower, apps, and "moderation strategies" fail so often. They're trying to override hardware with software.
What if you could change the hardware instead?
What you've probably already tried (and why it didn't stick)
Willpower & "rules" – Works for a few days until stress hits. Then you're right back where you started, plus guilt.
Drink-tracking apps – Great for awareness, terrible for actually reducing cravings. You still WANT the drink.
Switching to "healthier" options – Hard seltzer still has alcohol. Your brain still gets the reward signal.
AA or abstinence programs – Effective for some, but overkill if you just want to drink LESS, not quit entirely.
Sheer avoidance – You can't avoid every social event, every stressful day, every grocery store with a wine aisle.
None of these address the fundamental problem: your brain's reward system is working against you.
That's not a personal failure. That's biology.
And biology responds to biology. Which brings us to naltrexone.
The FDA-approved pill that turns off cravings at the source
Naltrexone has been FDA-approved for alcohol use disorder since 1994. It's been prescribed millions of times. It's on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.
And yet, until recently, almost nobody outside of addiction medicine knew it existed.
"Naltrexone blocks the euphoric effects of alcohol... allowing patients to reduce alcohol use by removing the perceived 'reward' of consumption."
— American Medical Association
Here's how it works:
1
You Take One Pill Daily
50mg naltrexone, once per day. Takes about 30 seconds. No injections, no complicated schedules, no counting drinks.
2
It Blocks Your Opioid Receptors
Naltrexone sits on the receptors in your brain that normally receive the "reward" signal from alcohol. The signal can't get through.
3
Drinking Becomes... Boring
Without the buzz, without the reward, alcohol stops feeling special. You can still drink if you want – but you won't want to as much.
4
Your Brain Rewires Over Time
As you drink less, your brain's reward pathways start to normalize. Many people find their cravings fade naturally over 3-6 months.
You don't have to quit cold turkey. You don't have to attend meetings. You don't have to tell anyone.
You just take one pill a day and watch your relationship with alcohol transform.

What to expect when you start
Days 1-3: The Adjustment
Some people experience mild nausea or headache as their body adjusts. This typically fades quickly. Many feel nothing at all – just take your pill and go about your day.
Week 1-2: The Shift
You might notice that your usual drink doesn't hit the same way. The buzz is muted. Some people describe it as "drinking decaf coffee" – you're going through the motions, but the payoff isn't there.
Week 3-4: The Realization
This is when most people have their "aha" moment. You'll catch yourself leaving drinks unfinished, declining refills, or just... forgetting to drink. The craving voice gets quieter.
Month 2-3: The New Normal
Your relationship with alcohol has fundamentally changed. Drinking becomes a conscious choice, not an automatic habit. Many people find they're naturally drinking 50-80% less.
Month 6+: The Freedom
Some people continue taking naltrexone long-term. Others taper off as their brain rewires. Either way, you're in control now – not your cravings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Naltrexone has been FDA-approved since 1994 and has an excellent safety profile. It's on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Common side effects are mild and typically resolve within the first week – most commonly slight nausea or headache. It's non-addictive and has no abuse potential.
Yes – that's actually how it works. You continue drinking (if you choose to), but the "reward" signal is blocked. Over time, this weakens the craving-reward loop in your brain. Many people find they naturally drink less without consciously trying to.
Antabuse (disulfiram) makes you violently ill if you drink ANY alcohol. It's a punishment approach. Naltrexone is different – it doesn't make you sick. It simply removes the "high" from drinking, allowing your brain to naturally lose interest over time. Much gentler, much more sustainable.
Our licensed physicians will evaluate you and prescribe naltrexone if appropriate. However, we always recommend informing your primary care provider about any medications you're taking for your complete health picture.
Most clinical studies use 3-6 month treatment periods. Some people take it long-term for maintenance; others taper off once their drinking habits have stabilized. Your Try Amie physician can help you decide what's right for your situation.
That's what our 30-day money-back guarantee is for. If you don't see a meaningful difference in your cravings or drinking habits, we'll refund your purchase completely. No other telehealth naltrexone provider offers this.
Mike's story has a different ending now
Remember Mike from the beginning? The architect who couldn't stick to his "weekends only" rule?
He started naltrexone three months ago.
"By week 2, I noticed something weird. I poured my usual glass of wine after work, took a few sips, and just... set it down. Forgot about it. That had literally never happened before."
Today, Mike drinks maybe 2-3 times a month. Socially. When he actually wants to – not because his brain is screaming for it.
He's lost 15 pounds. His sleep has improved. His wife says he's "more present" than he's been in years.
"I'm not anti-alcohol now," Mike says.
"I can still enjoy a nice bourbon on special occasions. The difference is that I'm choosing it – it's not choosing me."
