I use it on the weekends, and sometimes after work. At first to see if it would help with anxiety and job related pain , then a few days after trying it I noticed it killed my desire for alcohol and I kept using it 3 days on, 4 days off type thing. 2.5-3grams a couple times a day. Eventually I quit alcohol entirely. Whatever is in it helps me focus on tasks, too. If I'm mentally and physically exhausted from work, taking a dose when I get home will help me relax and focus on doing things besides being completely worn out.
