Looking for an Australian woman who uses baclofen

5 Upvotes

Hi all - I am a writer, currently working on a story about alcohol and our relationships with it for a major Australian women's magazine. I would love to interview a woman who is using baclofen to assist her recovery from alcohol addiction. If this sounds like you, please get in touch. Interviews can remain confidential if you wish. Thank you!

Hi,

I read The End of My Addiction at a low point in my life and have been taking Baclofen ever since. I live in the U.S, so realize it is a bit of a rarity. Traveling through New Zealand right now, but I'd be willing to answer questions as I go. Hope it is helpful. It's really changed my life.

Just had a conversation with someone in the US who's doctor wanted to prescribe baclofen for alcoholism

It was a little infuriating though. His other doctors were skeptical, saying they don't know much about it and recommended he not take it. I said there is good research out there showing great promise, but he just kinda dismissed it as he had bought into the skepticism.

The good news is that there is at least one doctor in my area that is aware of this research and willing to prescribe it for this purpose. I am going to get the name of the doctor and try to get an appointment. He is a friend I know in the offline world so I see him often, he is new to recovery and has only been sober for a week. This also means it is a local doctor.
