A private assessment. No labels. No judgment.
Is this a replacement for therapy or AA?
No. The Reset Regimen addresses the biochemical component of alcohol dependence — specifically NAD+ depletion. It does not replace counseling, medical treatment, or support programs. Many people use it alongside existing approaches.
Are these results guaranteed?
No. These are individual accounts of personal experience. Results vary. Nothing on this page constitutes medical advice or a promise of outcome. The biochemical mechanism described is supported by published research, but individual responses differ.
Why are the accounts anonymous?
Privacy is non-negotiable. These accounts are drawn from documented transcripts with consent. Names are aliased and identifying details are removed. The stories are real — the identities are protected.
What does the assessment actually involve?
A 15-minute private questionnaire that maps energy stability, sleep quality, neurological symptoms, and dependency patterns. A licensed clinician reviews your results and builds a restoration strategy. Nothing is recommended until that review is complete.
How is NAD+ related to alcohol dependence?
Chronic alcohol use depletes NAD+, a coenzyme essential for energy production, DNA repair, and brain function. When NAD+ drops below baseline, the body seeks the fastest way back to equilibrium — which for many people means another drink. The protocol aims to restore NAD+ levels so that physiological drive decreases.
Is this covered by insurance?
Not currently. NAD+ is a natural molecule that cannot be patented, so the large-scale clinical trials that insurance companies require have not been funded. This is one of the reasons The Reset Regimen exists — to build the evidence base.
Different people. Different histories.
