Thanks for this Alec. I only just saw your reply now! Yes, you're right your brain does start to grow back these receptors, though I had no idea that that could have been the reason for cravings at points, it makes sense though. For me it was 6 months and a year. The impact alcohol has on the brain is quite frightening hey? I've been reading and writing up alot on that recently...

Thank you for reading and replying, really appreciate your comments and feedback
