thank you! I actually take b1 at bedtime b/c it is depleted in alcoholism. And you are right! Many of the urges ARE from simple deficiencies in minerals/supplements, thank you for pointing that out. I read 'the easy way to control alcohol' by Allen Carr...one year ago and took many notes, it is an amazingly simple read and honestly there is a lot of biblical truth woven into it (but you'll only notice that if you are a believer and a disciple of the Word). I feel sad for the MANY Greats who struggled in past generations with no knowledge...C.S.Lewis, he drank and smoked himself to an early death (64, my father died at 62...same drinking). Simply ignorance and no knowledge of the simple mechanism of addiction. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Blessings to all from the Father who loves all, even the confused.
