[Said kindly] Medicines are tools, not a solution or the "cure" for drinking. I take Campral (acamprosate- and anti craving med) as a maintenance drug, and I took Antabuse for the first 90 days of my sobriety. Both were merely tools added to my absolute resolve not to drink. IMO focusing on the effect of a drug is a red herring.
We have to have true acceptance that we cannot drink, NO MATTER WHAT, and that gives us the freedom to have support tools of all kinds that are built as we gain sober time.
