Thanks Keif! I recently got myself a "women's" multivitamin which contains B1 among other things. But I ought just get B1- or a B vitamin supplement in general- cos women's vitamins always contain iron which I neither need nor like...That would be Thiamin. It is Vitamin B1. Here is an article on the subject of preventive administration of this stuff. It looks like information on oral administration is scarce but it is given all the time intravenously.
I have always assumed that there must be some benefit.

the gum doesnt affect absorption(y)yeah I do smoke. Not all that heavily-5 to 10 cigs a day.
Am trying to quit or at least cut back by using nicotine gum...
Yeah that's partly what the booze is about ... Wish to God I'd never met up with "Aunty Val".get off the benzos sweetie, any way you can.
Youre young, and seem tough. Why bother? Your daughterYeah that's partly what the booze is about ... Wish to God I'd never met up with "Aunty Val".
Its a prick to get off.
Did manage it for several years about 9 years ago ...but not via staged supplies. I used to get 50 at a time and very very slowly I weaned off. You need discipline though. And at the time I was highly motivated because I wanted to test totally clean in context of custody dispute.
Now it's so often like: "why bother"? - it seems so hopeless. I can't even imagine getting a job again.
Thiamin supplementation in cases of severe alcoholism are usually high dose, in the hundreds of milligrams. Doubt you need that much however. A b-complex vitamin should be fine.
How much are you drinking on a daily basis?
