I am trying to help a friend reduce the craving for alcohol. Looking for a natural supplement, vitamin, mineral or herb.

I’m sorry to say there isn’t any such ingredient out there that can kill the craving. The only thing that has a chance of working is getting into the AA program and developing the spirituality that will help your friend overcome the craving, vs. giving in to it and drinking. I speak as a member of AA who has put down a 27-year habit. Are there still cravings? Yes, they will never completely go away. But, I can manage through the AA program and the support of the members.

AA is not the only thing that can help alcoholics. I think it is unrealistic and insulting to say that an alcoholic must be spiritual to have any chance of recovery. Some people are not spiritual and never will be. There are a couple of groups and sites which help alcoholics without using spiritual or religious agenda or affiliations: http://www.secularhumanism.org/sos/ and http://www.unhooked.com/index.htm I have not joined any of these groups because I have never felt the need (alcohol does not normally adversely affect my life), but I have given up most drugs one at a time on my own, and if I did ever have more serious drug problems, those are the places I would go first.
