Actually, I completely DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU!
I did stop drinking using the valium method and it worked for me. I have been SOBER for the first time in a VERY LONG TIME! An occasional non alcoholic beer (which is NON ALCOHOLIC-I live in Europe and we have Pittburger "Drive" Beer which has no alcohol in it whatsoever, but besides that an ordinary non al beer has 1.2% alcohol in it which is a very small amount) is FINE and it doesn't make me long for another. Valium is a good short term cure for withdrawal symptoms and because it's not what helped you-it has helped me and dozens others on this very thread. If you are strong you can get through this-and if something else can help you, then why not? I'm not suggesting a "substitute" for alcohol (valium) I'm just saying that it helped me get through the toughest time-and it WORKED FOR ME.
I think the others that post on this thread would agree with me.
Thanks for your comments, but everbody is different and everyone has different ideas and methods that WORK FOR THEM.
