For Alcohol Use Disorder "After many years in and out of AA and relapsing and huge consequences due to my drinking. I can now say I literally do not feel like having a drink. Even the thought is just passing. I’ve noticed also I’m losing weight. And not wanting to smoke as much. I feel more upbeat. I do listen to AA meetings in the evening. It disheartens me to see so many people struggling, and this is like a miracle cure to get a big chunk of sobriety in the beginning of being sober. It wouldn’t surprise me if the alcohol companies have invested in keeping this quiet. A very good modern drug. I recommend it to anyone who is struggling in early recovery."

For Alcohol Use Disorder "This drug is an absolute miracle and a literal lifesaver. Like many here, I tried many times over the years to 'white knuckle' getting sober and tried several rehabilitation programs, including AA. I was racked with guilt for being a failure and my marriage was on the rocks, to say the least. I'd be motivated to get clean, but always found a way to be back to my old, heavy drinking ways pretty quickly. With Campral, I simply have no real desire to drink. While my 'relapses' used to be nightmarish, week-long benders, my one slip on Campral was just that -- a day where I had a few drinks. The next day -- no desire to drink and just back to life as normal. No side effects I've ever noticed, except that I've lost a lot of weight from not drinking (a good thing in my case). I have no idea why this isn't prescribed as THE go-to medication for anyone struggling. Eleven stars if that were an option."

For Alcohol Use Disorder "I sought specialist assistance eventually for my alcohol dependence. I took Librium and then Campral and, generally with support, did 3 years sober until my mum's wake in May 2017. It creeps up on you, and before you know it, you're dependent again. I've got a supported detox arranged for me after my 50th and intend to take Campral again after Librium detox. I strongly recommend you take time off work and be proactive in seeking support. Take a good look at your habits and strategize. I was at my happiest sober. Didn't even think about it after a while. I realized I wasn't boring, and I hadn't lost my sense of fun. In fact, I had more energy to have fun and lost loads of weight, so I am really looking forward to that one. It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's a courageous move often admired. I'm really looking forward to my break of what prevents me from doing things I want to do. If you fall off the wagon, then suss out why. Get support and pull socks up again. Ignore the stigma! Good luck to me and you. We rock for trying to break the cycle."
