A craving isn't a moral failure; it's a powerful neurobiological event. Your brain's reward system, hijacked by dopamine, and stress response, fueled by cortisol, create an intense physical urge. Understanding this science is the first step toward removing shame and replacing it with effective recovery strategies that go beyond simple willpower.

Raj, a successful Mumbai executive, lost everything to alcohol—family, job, self-respect. His "rock bottom" on his daughter's birthday led him to Anmol Jeevan Foundation's nasha mukti kendra.

Priya, a young artist, also found her way back, recovering her creativity and self-worth through the holistic programs. Their powerful stories prove that recovery is possible.
