Is that how you spell it? I didn't know its chemical name. An old boyfriend years and years ago was destroying his life with alcohol and drugs, and during one of his stints in detox was taking that drug, that's why I remember it. Needless to say, even though it took a few years, I eventually got the hell out of dodge; those AA meetings I attended with him (during another, almost successful, attempt) helped an almost teetotaler like me more than they ever helped him.

We are like men who have lost their legs; they never grow new ones. Neither does there appear to be any kind of treatment which will make alcoholics of our kind like other men. We have tried every imaginable remedy. In some instances there has been brief recovery, followed always by a still worse relapse.

Physicians who are familiar with alcoholism agree there is no such thing a making a normal drinker out of an alcoholic. Science may one day accomplish this, but it hasn't done so yet.

Go Science
