A lot of times, our "addiction" is not to alcohol itself, but rather the need for dopamine and comfort. We're addicted to saying yes to something that will bring immediate joy/ pleasure. As soon as we can learn to deny ourselves that instant gratification and stay focused on our long term goals, sobriety (and life in general) become easier!

Controlling our impulses benefits us in more ways than one: our sobriety, diet, fitness, anger management, cleanliness... and in today's episode we're talking about it ALL. This one skill we learn in sobriety applies to so many things in life.

The purpose of this episode is to make you never want to drink again. So many of us reach a point in sobriety where we start wondering if we could drink again. But the real question isn’t whether we could -it’s why would we want to?

Cancer. Cirrhosis. Hepatitis… oh my. The truth is, there is nothing good that comes from alcohol consumption. Once I started learning about the real health risks, it scared me straight into sobriety. That knowledge became my rock bottom. I didn’t need another embarrassing night or bad decision -these facts did it for me. And the pain I was experiencing in my liver felt like a warning sign pointing toward a dark future if I didn’t make a change.

If this episode helps even one person quit drinking or stay sober, I’ll consider it a win.
