someguy3How do Alcoholic recovery programs work in Muslim countries where alcohol is banned?
Alcoholic recovery programs mostly don’t work anywhere anyway.
It’s interesting that for nicotine there are drugs that increase the recovery success by an order of magnitude, but for alcohol telling you not to do it is the best people can do.
Many drugs that cause nicotine cessation also work for other addictive drugs, including alcohol. Off the top of my head…
- Chantix (and buproprion)
- NAC
- Tirzepatide and Semaglutide
- Buperenorphine
- Acamprosate (sp?)
- Disulfiram
- Psychedelics (if used properly)
While we’re on the subject, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W, said the help of LSD was integral to his development of AA.
