Can imagining your future curb drinking today?

NCT ID NCT04125238

Summary

This study tested whether a mental exercise called 'Episodic Future Thinking' (EFT) could help people with alcohol use disorder. EFT involves vividly imagining positive personal events that could happen in the future. Researchers wanted to see if this practice could help participants make less impulsive choices and reduce their alcohol consumption in a lab setting and in real life, compared to a control group that thought about past events.
