I know it may seem wrong footed to do it that way, but I really believe you don't need to know the 'why' to stop.
I looked for the why for 20 years - got into a situation where if I didn't stop I'd die - so I stopped

Thelma and Louise comes to mind 
I reckon Cow's about to acquire a comedy competitor.....Wooshhh!
All jokes aside though: bug, if you weren't ready last time you were here,
I hope you're ready now. I'm battling through my 15th or something early recovery period (would have to dig out old calendars going back 6 years and a bit to count 'em. Not a pretty situation to be in at 60 y.o., I can tell ya.
Anyway, stick around - this is one of the few places I get lots of hearty laughs and cathartic cries in my daily life.

Plus I have lost interest. That is my MO I obsess over something for a while and give it up cold turkey never to return. I hope it works for me again.
I want to meet Cow!

Another "like" for lightningbug here! Your posts tickle me.
I am currently on a cocktail of drugs, including Campral 3x/day. Since each of the six is taken together (and taken correctly, as I have previously not done; I have also taken them while drinking so that prevented knowing what worked/didn't - I just hit 60days sober now so am seeing the good in my current regimen) I can't say precisely if one is the cause of my (general) stability; I do think Campral is positive for me, in a mild way- no thunder and lightning but I believe it is part of the "Good" for my recovery. Just FYI, I did not think Naltrexone helped much in the past, and I do take Ativan (as needed, and typically do take 1/day).
If interested, my other drugs are (Generic) synthroid (I have an overactive thryoid- my levels have gone back and forth between under/over so my dr has adjusted levels accordingly since I was dx three or so yrs ago), lamictal for my BPD, antabuse (disulfram) and keep a log of daily use (signed off on by a family member, trusted friend, AA mtg leader or such, to confirm my compliance with my psych), and seroquel nightly to sleep/tamper anxiety.
This may sound like a lot of drugs (and even with ins it is certainly expensive, at around $220/mo for the sum total) I find it works for me now. To sum up, though, I don't think acamprosate is the key drug for me, nor that it would work by itself all that well.
GOOD LUCK - and keep posting
