My search for the great recovery is born from much experience. My best friend recently confronted a similar problem, and is achieving success (2 weeks and counting) with a program that has a program of vitamin supplements to help heal deficiencies caused by drinking. She hasn't had any cravings. I have been interested in alcoholism, and have monitored my own drinking, because my father was an alcoholic - dead at age 51. Anyway, I have no opinions on any recovery strategies but have intuitive beliefs that contradict some of them. My search is of the "when do I walk" variety.
