Quote from the article:
"Chemical processes do not make a person an alcoholic. The person makes the conscience choice. Altered processing of alcohol in no way determines choice or behaviors. Obsessive drinking is not a reaction to bodily processes, but merely a choice. The amount consumed is determined by the individual not by the body."
I find this paragraph to be completely untrue. Given that I have spent 15 days using supplementation to reduce my alcohol craving ... I don't even know how anyone here could agree 100% with the above statement. (This isn't meant as a criticism of anyone) If it were determined only by individual choice then no one would require topa or supplements to quit drinking or move into moderation. To me, there absolutely IS a chemical component -- and I would be truly suprised if anyone here who is following the MWO program would believe otherwise. I think the studies with Topa and other alcohol reduction craving supps. certainly support the idea that some people's brains are chemically engineered to find alcohol a struggle.
