One simple habit that helps reduce daily drinking: plan a drink substitution and track it. The Kolodzik Method encourages choosing a specific replacement — like sparkling water, tea, or a short walk — before usual drinking times. Track each substitution in a notebook or app and celebrate small wins. Clinically, pairing this routine with medications such as naltrexone can lower cravings and make reductions feel more achievable. It’s a practical step, not a promise; small, consistent changes add up. Learn more: https://wix.to/AKwWyHr

If someone is exploring treatment options, learning about combined approaches can inform safer, more effective care. Learn more and request a consultation: https://wix.to/uesCin3 🔬💬
