We look to outside sources and substances for solutions to our problems. Treatment is needed for alcoholism, the individual must recover or else they will continue to drink and no pill can stop that! I do believe that a drug which helps curb cravings while an addict pursues REAL recovery is beneficial. The individual needs real addiction treatment, not just a prescription from a doctor.

Personally i needed a way to deal with life; guidelines for dealing with my problems and learning to live. A recovery program such as AA treats me as a person. It doesn't only help me deal with the obsession and the craving but it helps me become a better person, it gives me the tools to deal with my daily life. There isn't any pill that can do that. ending the craving and dealing with the addiction to alcohol is only one small piece of my struggle with this disease. just getting rid of the drink didn’t solve any of the myriad problems i face day to day.

Well, I think whatever works, works. If someone can benefit from the drug then they should take it, and they should go to AA, get therapy help. Nothing is as easy as just taking a substance to make it all go away. Isn't that what was happening to begin with? Vivitrol? Well, I think whatever works, works.
