Last year I got hold of some AB online from the USA and have had 2 reasonably long stints of being AF because of it and I think it is a great tool to help in quitting. However I have learnt that to fill the void in my time when not drinking I need therapy of some sort like the AA to keep away the boredam, but could not find the courage to attend a meeting on my own. Finally today I rang drinkline for some help on this and got an appoinment straight away. They were very nice and I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders straight away finally being honest to another human about my problem. She was shocked I could get hold of AB and said its very dangerous and only prescribed to people who are basically monrhs away from drinking themselves to death and that I should stop taking it. Everything else she told me was great but although I am uneducated on the matter I like AB, she said I should see my GP on the matter as it can be very bad for my liver and to take it I should be monitored by my doctor. Apart from that she said the AA is a great way of meeting new like wise friends and I m looking forward to that.

I agree you should let your doctor know you are taking it. I let my GP know 'off the record' I was taking it so it wasn't on my medical record.Well it's all right now. I've learned my lesson well. You see you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.
