IDK what to believe anymore. I was trying to research this and of course because the billion dollar rehab industry is against it, I'm sus - even though the arguments against are pretty logical.
Anyone have any experience with this personally or with a loved one?
Depends on what you are trying to do. Not be addicted or just not use alcohol. If you use anything to replace alcohol to feed that itch you are still an addict. As far as remaining an addict and just not using alcohol thats entirely case based. For some it works. For others it doesnt.
Being an addict, I have realized no matter the substance you are never free till you realize and belive you never needed any ofnit in yhe first place. None of it ever helped. It just gives that illusion which is the foundation of addiction.
