Olivier Ameisen
In addiction, suppression of symptoms should suppress the disease altogether since addiction is, as he observed, a "symptom-driven disease". Of all "anticraving medications used in animals, only one - baclofen - has the unique property of suppressing the motivation to consume cocaine, heroin, alcohol, nicotine and d-amphetamine"Comment

I've contacted a moderator to ask these be stickied, will let you know if anything happens. Is there a story as to why there are no stickes? If not, perhaps more people should ask. Just report one of your own posts to contact a moderator.Having hit the switch, I now post under the username "bleep". Look forward to seeing you on the other side...Comment

Long time no alcohol
I read "Heal Thyself" (downloaded from Kindle, by the way) with extraordinary interest. I too am a health professional who could identify completely with Dr. Ameisen's double dilemma: his own alcoholism and his plight in finding the appropriate treatment for complete suppression. I belong to the roughly 10% who have reached sobriety through AA. I definitely know that I could never have done this without their support. It took me about 4 years of complete abstinence and hundreds of meetings to become indifferent to alcohol. I have not had a drink now for 24 years. In spite of my gratitude to AA, I never could swallow the idea of "character defects " or moral arguments thing as being involved in the etiology. Two simple questions immediately demolish this strange credo: a) ?What character defects or Freudian fixations do certain strains of rats have to make them alcoholics in a lab setting? Can an alcoholic drink normally if he rids himself of his "character flaws?" I am very interested in finding out if anyone out there has experienced treating the primary condition of dysphoria (anxiety+depression+insomnia) of the long term abstinent alcoholic with Baclofen. I have no interest in being able to drink "normally." My dysphoria is still a problem. And remains untreated.beatle;1020074 wrote: Bump --here it is... all explained.Comment

welcome,
I have been here on Mwo for 4years and I haven't seen anyone post about taking BAC while already sober. I have heard numerous reports about losing that " uncomfortable in your skin" disorder a lot of us struggle with.
I to reached sobriety with AA. great post by the way. rats with defects. hahaha. I thought I would be the first to take BAC while already sober but maybe you will. you have more sobriety than me and maybe are stronger. I am in fear of just wanting to drink like a normal man. that being said, there are so many on here that are truly indifferent because of BAC. good luck. gratitudeComment

Fuck, I just wrote a post that took me well over an hour to this post by Dr. Ameisen.:upset:Dr Olivier Ameisen;830641 wrote: If I may make a suggestion, I believe that it would probably be most productive for you (and for them) to contact the French forum that has become very well structured and organized.
maybe you get my drift -- what his posts imply to us humble souls... I will try to recreate my post tomorrow. right now I must go to sleep for 2 hours before my kids wake up.:upset:Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life...
