    Addiction
    I got this site from my mother. My question has to do with alcohol addiction. I've read everything from taking revia, baclofen, and I take wellbutrin. The main thing is I don't like hurting my family. One of the things with al anon is to not support addiciton. The problem is if I drink I pass away pretty much. I don't want to drink. I go months of not drinking. But when I do its extreme unless I am home with family. Eventually I hope to be abstinent but until that time I don't want to pass away. I've already quit drinking again but my confidence is shattered because I think I will lapse in the future.

    I am horrible with regards to alcohol but everything I am great at. 99% on my mcat, top of my class but this consumes me.

    What you are describing is loss of control drinking... can't stop once started. Extended periods of abstinence only to return to harmful pattern of drinking. Not at all unusual.

    As to the concern about lapsing in the future. You have lapsed before and survived. You are here today trying again... and you have a better, not lesser chance this time.

    To the extent possible will discuss that with you. First, please read my last post here >LINK

    I am particularly interested in the Baclofen issue, who prescribed, in what dosage and how long taken?

    Why are you prescribed Wellbutrin and how long have you been taking?
