They're learning that the craving for alcohol can be limited very much like ozempic limits food craving. There's a pill called "naltrexone" which is used in Europe for treatment of alcoholism. It's a no-blame treatment that might be more congruent with the new understanding of addiction as a neurologic/physiological disorder rather than a character fault.

AA works for many people, but it's not the only option. This is another possibility.
