In this article, you’ll discover the major link between GABA deficit disorder and alcohol use disorder. It’s a vicious relationship where each disorder can cause and affect the other.

I’ll never forget the most insane thirteenth-stepper story I heard about when I was an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). I heard it directly from the 50-year-old man with a decade of recovery who thirteenth-stepped a teenage girl in her first 30 days of sobriety in AA.

Documentaries, research studies, articles, podcasts, news segments, and more have documented this dark s ..read more

If you decide to add this supplement to your alcohol recovery plan, the amount of help yo ..read more

When I was addicted to ethanol, the toxic solvent that is passed off as a drug, ignorance prolonged my healing. But that’s not all that happened… Ignorance and naïveté also played a big role in my fast process of morphing from an Every-once-in-awhile Recreational Drinker to a Three-day-a-week Recreational Drinker — to a Five-day-a-week Binge Drinker (alcohol abuse) — and finally, to a Physiologically and psychologically dependent 24/7 around-the-clock Alcoholic Drinker… and I looked and acted the part to the tee.
