Alcoholics are genetically disadvantaged in about 80% od cases. They have comprisomised gaba systems as countless studies have shown, yet benzos, much safer, effective and relatively harmless, arent even mentioned as a treatment, because they are addictive. Well, thats true, but so is alcohol. And a hell of a lot more addictive, and a hell of a lot more detrumental, and a hell of a lot easier to get ahold of. i agree with the post that in many alcoholics will never get better unless gaba prob. is fixed. And Im afraid that the medical system isnt going to suggest benzos any time soon. Its up to you. Fight for it, even if others disagree.
