The point is, very few people will chose to try baclofen because almost no one knows it exists.
We all know that if only we try a little harder, we can sort ourselves out. The toothless old geezers living in cardboard boxes know this, George Best knew it, Shane MacGowan knew it, but has probably forgotten.
The thousands of people who die every year as a result of alcohol abuse are proof that willpower, however you brand it, isn't enough. If it works for 1 person in the entire world, great! If it works for 100, or a thousand, hurrah! Well done folks.
All I know is, I tried willpower and it didn't work for me. I tried baclofen and ceased my alcoholic behaviour within weeks. So, yes, I feel I've found something special. Millions of people will die this year from their alcoholic tendencies. Very few of them will have been aware of this thing called baclofen, which might have helped them. That is sad.
