Can fasting help ?
Addiction and fasting I have struggled with various addictions throughout my life, mainly alcohol as it is so readily available. I would classify myself as a binge drinker, because once I start I can't stop, or don't want to. Recently I tried fasting for other health reasons and noticed a strange benefit that I wasn't expecting. My cravings for alcohol seem to have disappeared. I used to drink tons of beer, now one is more than enough. Not only that, but since I completed two 24 hour fasts, my sugar cravings seem to have really calmed down as well. Then I looked it up and the research on fasting and addiction seems very promising.

Fasting & Addiction Frequently Asked Questions
It’s great to hear that you’ve noticed a reduction in your cravings for alcohol and sugar since starting to fast. Research suggests that fasting can help with addiction recovery by reducing inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, and increasing the production of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which can help with mood regulation and cravings.
