One thing besides of course AA is that you read what is basically mandated for all three of the meds you mentioned.

All three of them flat out state that they are almost useless if not taken while attending some sort of long term recovery program, they mention AA by name as one of the primary long term recovery programs.

I drank for 40 years and when I got out of detox they gave me a prescription for "Revia" which is an anti-craving med and told me if I wanted a chance at long term sobriety I also needed to go to at least 90 AA meetings in 90 days.

To be honest I quit taking Revia after about 2 weeks because half the time I forgot to take it and noticed absolutely no difference. I know some folks that it has helped a lot though so I will not knock it.

What has not only kept me sober for almost 9 months and also led to me being happier then I have been in over 30 years is AA.

Have you noticed a trend among those who have successfully stopped?
