Earthmama,

I urge you to stay strong. You know that drinking won't solve anything no matter how tempting it might be as a short term solution. You've lived in sobriety - you have to know it's better even if sometimes life or emotions seem really hard or overwhelming.

Like Stiv, I believe that medications can have a place in helping us maintain our sobriety. I haven't tried Campral but I've heard really good things about it. I take Naltrexone which similarly reduces cravings for alcohol. I also take Antabuse as my insurance policy against picking up that first drink, because I don't quite trust myself just yet.

Sending wishes of strength to you.
