I first,contacted them after searching non-12 step recovery programs. Also, they were utilizing Naltrexone and a few,other drugs. My thoughts at the time led me to realize the fact that I had nothing to lose by asking centers and/or doctors would they be willing to try Baclofen. After all, what did I have to lose by asking? All they could say,was no. I was desperate and intent on finding a medical/scientific solution to my alcoholism. I was so damned tired of hearing that I had a moral failing or needed to find a higher source. Hell, although a drunk, I have been a pretty damned good person to others and my family. Moral failings my ass! I tried to remember a time when I made a conscious DECISION TO FEEL SICK AS HELL all the time and have no hope. I found a couple of doctors that would consider a baclofen protocol.
I had prepared and compiled many documents and items of research related to Baclofen before I called the owner. Many of these documents came from this site (MWO), many from Otter, Lo0p, and Ne, Bleep, Cass, Red, and a few others (my memory is still shot) The consolidated links to the baclofen was a godsend to me at the time. My mental function at the time was damn near 0 and that may be an over-statement. Also, I sent her the link to the Dianne Sawyer-Ameisen interview. Additionally, I sent her a link to the video showing the more scientific operation of baclofen.
I can not over emphasize enough how valuable this site and the members were to helping me get my start with baclofen -and under the guidance of a medical doctor. Terry Bruce, the owner of Assisted Recovery was one of the first people to dispense Naltrexone and so I assumed she might want to be on the forefront of the Baclofen revolution. And I was right, she was willing to give me and baclofen a go. After several more conversations with Terry, I told her to sign me up; I am on the way to Savannah.
This is where ARC and my baclofen journey began and continues to this day.
