Sound familiar?

Maybe you don't want to quit drinking. You're just tired of what comes with it.

You're not in trouble and you don't need a dramatic story. You're just done with the tax that drinking quietly charges you.

  • The Sunday Scaries

    That low hum of dread and regret that shows up before the week even starts.

  • Wasted mornings

    The alarm goes off and the first hour is spent recovering instead of living.

  • Hangovers wrecking your workouts

    You train hard, then one night out erases three days of momentum.

  • Drinking more than you planned

    "Just one" quietly becomes four, most nights, without a real decision.

  • Alcohol calories killing progress

    The diet is dialed in — except for the liquid calories nobody talks about.

  • "I’m taking it easy tonight"

    You mean it when you say it. Then somehow the bottle is empty anyway.

  • It’s taking up too much space

    When to drink, how much, how you’ll feel tomorrow — it lives in your head rent-free.

You don't need a rock-bottom story to want more control.

The curiosity everyone has

Why are people comparing this to GLP-1s?

GLP-1s got famous for one thing: turning down the noise. Naltrexone does something similar for a different craving.

GLP-1s

for food

Became famous for turning down appetite and food noise — the constant thinking about the next snack.

Naltrexone

for alcohol

Prescribed to turn down the rewarding pull and craving around alcohol — the 6 o’clock urge to pour.

Different medication. Similar idea: turn the volume down on the urge.

  1. 1

    Alcohol lights up reward

    Every drink triggers the brain’s reward pathways — the hit that makes the next pour feel like a good idea.

  2. 2

    Naltrexone blocks the receptors

    It sits on the opioid receptors involved in that reward, so the drink doesn’t land the same way.

  3. 3

    The pull gets quieter

    For many people, drinking becomes less compelling — and stopping at one, or stopping entirely, gets easier.

What you actually get

Less drinking. More life.

These aren't promises the pill makes on its own — they're what tends to open up when alcohol stops running the schedule.

  • Better mornings
  • Better workouts
  • Fewer wasted weekends
  • Fewer alcohol calories
  • Better sleep
  • More control
  • Still going out socially

You choose the goal.

No labels. No judgment. Whether you want to ease off or stop completely, Onir is built around the outcome you actually want.

Drink less

Quit

“I’m ready to stop and want medical support to make it stick.”

Real people. Quietly drinking less.

No before-and-after drama. Just members describing what changed once the pull got quieter.

“I kept waiting to feel deprived and it never came. Week three I looked at the fridge at 9pm and just… didn’t want it. Wild feeling.”

Questions, answered

The things everyone asks

What is naltrexone?

A doctor-prescribed medication that’s been FDA-approved for over 30 years and is used to help people drink less or stop. It’s a daily pill, not a GLP-1 and not a sedative.

Why do people call it "GLP-1 for drinking"?

Different medication, similar idea. GLP-1s became famous for turning down food and appetite noise. Naltrexone is prescribed to turn down the rewarding pull around alcohol. Both quiet the urge — just for different cravings.

Do I have to quit drinking?

No. Plenty of people use it to cut back to a couple of nights a week and stay there. Your goal is your call — drink less or stop entirely.

Can I still go out and drink?

Yes. The first drink still tastes like it always did. It just stops setting off the automatic pull for a second and a third, so the night stays where you want it.

How does it reduce cravings?

Alcohol activates reward pathways in the brain. Naltrexone blocks the opioid receptors involved in that reward, so drinking becomes less chemically reinforcing — and the urge for the next one gets quieter.

How quickly might I notice a difference?

Many people notice the second drink calling less loudly within the first week or two. It’s usually subtle — less of a pull rather than a dramatic switch flipping.

What are the side effects?

Most are mild and fade: nausea, headache, tiredness or trouble sleeping early on. The physician reviews your history and dosing to keep things comfortable.

Who should not take it?

It isn’t appropriate if you’re physically dependent and at risk of severe withdrawal, have significant liver disease, take opioid medications, or are pregnant. The assessment screens for all of this first.

How much does it cost?

You start with a $19.99 clinician review — less than a coffee a day. If a physician approves you, your plan covers the medication, ongoing physician support and discreet shipping, all in. No long-term contract, cancel anytime.

Can I cancel?

Anytime. There’s no long-term contract and no penalty for stopping.

You don't love how much you're drinking, and every version of “try harder” has quietly let you down. The only thing that's actually changed is that there's now a prescription tool for exactly that — and it takes sixty private seconds to find out if it fits.

Important: if you're physically dependent on alcohol, do not stop abruptly on your own — withdrawal can be dangerous. The physician review screens for exactly this, which is the whole reason a doctor is in the loop.
