Wonderful site, and a great community you all have here. Myself am a recovering alcohol and drug dependent. While I was able to get past the smoke with less than full damage to my family in the last year, I have not had success with ditching the alcohol completely. Still too many urges. Still a few too many binge nights/days and it does take its toll as you all know.
My question to a few of you who have been on this site for awhile is 'Would Bac be an option for someone who can't get past that last hurdle'? I don't drink nearly as many beers as I used to for many years, average around 8 a week now... down from 60+. But, that uncontrollable urge does take me now and again.
From what I've read on this site and some others it appears that too many meds seem to have had a fifty fifty miss ratio. Bac appears to have everyone's attention right now and I have not read as many posts of people relapsing on Bac than on some of the others mentioned. Now, just because people aren't posting their failures here does mean they aren't occurring and I fully realize that. And it seems some of the SE's get people by going up too fast. I'm not in a hurry, so that is not an issue for myself.
Definitely stressed in family life right now, so the help with anxiety which leads me into a 'bad choice day' appears to make the bac a choice for me. I've never used any meds for assistance with alcoholism before, so this would be a first for me. Do the people using bac currently believe it would be something fine to try for a first time medication attempt?
Thanks in advance for any input some of you may have. Since I'm new I posted it here, should I move this into the Medication section?
Thanks,
E
