Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Hi out there. I've heard a lot lately about an herb from a vine called kudzu.It is supposed to help with alcohol cravings. I understand it is no cure-all, but if anyone has had any luck or experience with it, please let me know. Thank you.

I've never heard of kudzo but sugar works. Hard candies so you don't eat pounds of the stuff.

does not work. i tried everything i had possibly heard of-including learning to chant with the buddists-hey, worked for richard gere. nothing helped me but the 12 steps. i am sorry but don't waste your years chasing "perhaps" and "maybes" as i did. go to what works irregardless of how you initially feel.if i thought it was easier, softer i tried it but i always failed and i always walked back into the rooms of A.A. a little more teachable, a little more willing... love, devonh

Kudzu is a plant form imported into this country quite a few years ago to be used as animal feed; problem is it turned out to be quite prolific in its growth and now can be seen throughout the south growing up over anything more than 1" high! In other words, its a useless plant which has become a royal pain in the a _ _ ! ( Kinda like drinking for us! ) LOL And while were at it - dentists say hard candies are the worst thing you can do for your teeth - can't win can we? LOL Check out devonandm's reply - shes got it right. Good luvck friend. Rusty22

rusty is right they are still trying to find ways to kill kudzu before it chokes out all the vegetation in the south. It grows feet a day and will kill any thing it touches by suffocating it and taking away it light. Damn sounds like alcoholism dont it.

every thing you want to know about it you can google.... or go to mywayout.com.. they use that plant exclusively for treating alcoholics... unsuccessfully from my research... try it at your own risk.. different results for different people....

If it were that simple there would be no one posting on this site. It takes daily work. Listen to Devonandmaia. She's got it.

I have never heard of it working. You sure can find plenty of Kudzu growing down here. To keep it under control, impossible, they have tried using goats. I Haven't seen any drunk ones lately so maybe it works.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
