You know, I spent years and years hanging around with 'traditionals' ... those who only light their Sweat Lodge Fires with fire made from sticks rubbed together type thing ...
and you know what I learned from that? from an amazingly revered Holy Man?
If the Indians had HAD lighters and firestarter ... they'd have USED them.
HE ... told me that. I didn't come up with it on my own.
I'm saying, had the Founders of AA HAD Campral ... they'd have TRIED Campral. We're talking people who had 'the belladonna treatment' for God's sakes. More than one of them was a doctor, remember.
Go to your doc, friend.
TELL your doc the truth, the whole truth ... and then DO what the doc says.
Let those who have been blessed with success THEIR way ... continue to USE their way.
This is *your* recovery.
It's between *you* ... and your HP.
Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for saving your own life.
Just keep in mind that Campral's literature states over and over that it's not to be used alone - it MUST accompany a structured, established recovery program. It's means... not an end ...
thanks
