Are there natural medications that can help me overcome addiction?
My husband is an alcoholic, and he hasn't gone to AA in over a month without telling me. I'm trying to help him. Are there any natural medications that can help him get over this addiction without any side effects?

First of all, AA isn't the only game in town; there's smart recovery, refuge recovery, there are very good medicines; B complex and magnesium is crucial. N-acetyl cysteine has some anti-addictive properties.
KalmPro is a natural anxiety and depression supplement that can help with anxiety, depression, and insomnia, which are common symptoms in people with addictions.
Alas, no, there are no magical answers in treating alcoholism. One thing that might help is if YOU get treatment and support. Consider going to Al-Anon or seeing a therapist yourself. One trick: be PICKY about which Al-Anon meetings you attend; some will be a much better fit than others. Ditto with psychotherapists, be picky.
