antabuse, which is a medication used to deter the consumption of alcohol by producing extremely unpleasant physical reactions. it isn't always an effective deterrent, however.
This is what most people (including Ralph) don’t understand. If detoxing was enough then people like this wouldn’t drink on Antabuse even though they know for a certain fact it’s going to make them violently ill and possibly dead.
Getting clean and sober requires being genuinely willing to repair the wreckage you’ve caused others and yourself, even if you don’t know how yet. You have to feel that way every day or you’ll just white-knuckle it until you fail.
The only thing stopping Ralph from getting off benzos and booze is his utter lack of humility.
