Question on Addiction

Is it considered shameful to take prescription drugs to curb alcohol addiction? I had to see my doctor today, and I obviously told her the truth that Campral helped some, but in the end, I slipped up. So she also gave me Naltrexone in combination with the Campral.

Does this make you less of a person? Even if you plan taking it for only like a month or two until cravings subside? I'm taking 6 Campral pills a day, one Naltrexone, and one blood pressure pill EVERY DAY.

Maybe a different topic, but I have a "G Allele" that makes me more addicted to alcohol (and apparently everything else in the freaking world) and gives me more of a "high" than people without this gene. It's my Indian descent. I had no idea. I am not using it as a crutch, but I didn't know that was possible.
