Get help.: If you think you have a problem, then you have a problem with alcohol. Period. With that said, there are medications that curb amount of drinking, stop the pleasurable feeling with drinking, or make drinking violently unpleasant. Campral, revia, (naltrexone) and disulfiram, are three of these, in the order described. Talk to your primary care provider about medication options. And, a pitch for aa. It works.
