Patrick is right – I also think that the “quick easy” route will just lead them back to addiction eventually. The only way that they will ever reform is to start from scratch. They need support and hard work to back them up so that they will never want to go back to how they were in the past.

The chemical may or may not prove useful for controlling cravings, but it definitely won’t be a “magic bullet.” Magic bullets usually don’t work for anything, including overcoming substance abuse.

We live in such an “instant gratification” society that we are always looking for an instant fix to everything.

However, licorice seems a new fad for a lot of things. I’ve read they are studying it for weight loss as well.

I think that the world has changed and society expects or even demands a magic pill solution for addiction. I agree with you Bill that these quick candy fixes are never going to give the same quality of sobriety that someone can get with a more “personal growth” style recovery program. For some reason the world has become lazy and they do not want to put in the action and the effort necessary to get clean and sober.

My personal prediction is that this will get worse before it gets better. I think the focus will continue to shift towards instant solutions and magic pills, until the world figures out that they don’t really work in the long run. But this will be a slow learning process for our society. Just my prediction, I could be wrong! (And, there could be a magic pill out there, too….).
