alcohol dependence
"I have been drinking heavily (daily) for the past 20 years.  When my family gave me the choice to drink and leave or stay home and be sober, I threw in the towel and sought help.  My physician has me on 333mg three times a day and I am receiving regular counseling from my therapist.  The first several days of treatment had my head feel like it was melting (after sobering, which was a three days).  Since then, no cravings for alcohol.  Tried a sip of scotch after the first week and threw the rest of the glass away, tasted like crap.  Been under this treatment for two weeks now and I am in heaven. "
