I’d hardly say anecdotal reports that seemingly correlate those things can be interpreted as meaning there is a peptide for discipline. It would be nice to see more research into it as peptides are rising in popularity though
As someone who quit drinking and used both, big difference. A lot of the peps will wear off side effect wise and people will have to take them indefinitely.
Naltrexone takes a lot of people a year plus to quit drinking (I wasn't a heavy drinker and it took about 4 months). With nal, you will have pharmacological extinction that has been a long process of decoupling the reward of alcohol with your brain (you literally have hundreds of drinking sessions where you take the pill and learn you will not get a buzz from drinking). This does not happen with the peptides because they don't block the dopamine recptors as nal does.
So essentially, the pep users will have the cravings come back. Naltrexone will have decoupled the reward system and make you not want to drink long-term (the idea of alcohol has no appeal to me at all anymore). Many people will say they had the urge to drink again after quitting the peptide use.
