I promise you, you’re not a weak-willed loser with no self-control. There are a lot of reasons why we can’t control the way we drink- trauma, lack of coping skills, stress, anger, anxiety. Plus, as you’ll learn in my podcast, alcohol takes advantage of our vulnerabilities to hook us, then it changes our brains to keep us stuck and reliant on alcohol. It’s not about willpower. In the Sober Powered Podcast, I use science, psychology, and compassion to help you understand why you use self-destructive coping skills like alcohol, what happens in the brain to make drinking spiral out of control and prevent us from drinking in moderation, and how to develop the coping skills and emotional sobriety you need to quit drinking and stay sober. About me: I quit drinking on November 9, 2019. I have a master’s in biology and I’m a certified anger management specialist and crisis intervention specialist. Not sure where to start? My most popular episodes are 99, 150, 170, 177, 180, 186, 191, 194, 196, 197 and 202.
