Sobo can definitely easily become a crutch. I know people who will pay between 10 and 20 dollars A PILL for it. It's good for when you're first in recovery since it'll keep you from getting dope sick and from getting high. Taking it requires being committed to recovery I think. But I think it should just be used as a temp fix. It's also wicked disgusting, at least I always thought so lol. So in it's own way that makes you want it to just be something temporary.
