With 21 years and 7 months sober today, I am skeptical of solutions other than abstinence.

If there was a drug that I could take to reduce the craving for the next drink, I am better off not having the first drink.

For some, it’s not a craving for the drink but a desire to be free from the noise in their heads. Alcohol deadens that.

While there is no question abstinence is the only way to beat an addiction, taking a drug could be a useful bridge towards that goal.

Yes. After years and years of drinking I finally got the wet cloud out of my head (in '98) and I don't want it back.
