I was never really addicted to cocaine or any other drug that gave me cravings. I have noticed a far less desire to drink alcohol. Opiates and alcohol were the only substances I ever got cravings for and now I never, I mean NEVER, get desires to drink. The only time I ever had a problem with alcohol was when I was in active addiction and drank to avoid the intense withdrawal effects from oxycodone. Every once in a while I drink in moderation and don’t enjoy it as much as I used to.

I’m very curious why we feel this way. It makes me wonder if suboxone could be used to treat addiction for other drugs with a very low dose. I’m clearly not the only one who feels this way and it is a positive side effect of the drug for us all. Anyone experience the same with alcohol?

Edit: Lilly, what do you mean drinking doesn’t do the same for you? Do you mean you don’t get drunk, enjoy it, or affects you in a different way? And by the way, I too have been eating more sweets than ever and wasn’t sure if anyone else was like that. In addiction, when our using went down something in our life went up and replaced that behavior with something else.
