I have heard a few recovering alcoholics describe their use of lithium
to control mood swings.  They are under medical care and taking prescribed
medication only.  From their stories, the lithium regime is essential
to their ability to live in a normal manner.  Abstinence from alcohol
is not enough in itself. 

Usual disclaimers.
