Have an episode suggestion? Text us!This week we're taking a short break from recording and revisiting a powerful episodes from mid 2024, Separate the Behaviors from the Addiction. How much should you focus on the substance? To what degree is the substance responsible for someone's behavior? Is it easier to forgive someone's bad behavior because they're addicted? Should compassion for a struggling addict or alcoholic overshadow your needs for an equal partner, or for honesty in a relationship? With all of the information on addiction that ranges from choice to disease, it's incredibly hard to know what you should have tolerance for and what you shouldn't. We propose something that worked for us - focus on the behaviors and how they affect you and cast aside the substance. It has been our experience that the substance only made existing behaviors more severe, but it was not the cause of all of them. Long after the substance was removed, many of the harmful behaviors within our relationship remained. We discuss the benefits of focusing on behaviors rather than the substance to bring clarity to a relationship or marriage where addiction is present. We also discuss some of the common ways alcoholics and addicts use the addiction as an excuse for their behaviors and how this keeps spouses "trapped." We touch on the dangers of long-term lying and emotional abuse from an addicted person and how these things affect a spouse, and why many of the harmful behaviors you identify hang around long after the substance is gone. Our goal for the episode was to highlight the fact that it's not the substance that causes harm, it's the behaviors that come along with addiction and how they affect you, your children, and your environment. Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

Advisory: This episode includes sensitive discussion about addiction, family estrangement, and emotional loss.This week on Fostering Change, host Rob Scheer welcomes back two dear friends — Julie and David Bulitt — for one of the most personal and moving conversations of the season. Rob and his husband Reece have known the Bulitts for many years, and their honesty, humor, and heart have made them audience favorites.Julie is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 30 years of experience in family therapy, and David is a leading family-law attorney in the D.C. metro area who has spent decades helping parents and children navigate painful transitions. Together, they've raised four daughters, built nearly 40 years of marriage, co-authored two acclaimed books (The Five Core Conversations for Couples and Secrets of Strong Couples), and co-host the podcast Conversations for Couples.In this emotional and thought-provoking episode, Rob, Julie, and David explore what it means to lose a child while they're still alive — to addiction, estrangement, or emotional distance — and how families can begin to heal.Topics discussed include:* Ambiguous loss: Grieving a child who is still living and learning to coexist with that pain.* Addiction and family systems: How substance use can fracture relationships, redefine love, and challenge every parent's hope.* Parenting through heartbreak: “We can love our children fiercely and still have to let go,” Julie shares. “Healing doesn't mean forgetting — it means finding peace with what is.”* Balancing love and self-protection: “You reach a point where love also means protecting yourself and your family from chaos,” David reflects.* Hope beyond the silence: Grace, therapy, and community as pathways to reconnection.This episode is a testament to honesty, empathy, and the complicated beauty of parenthood. If you or someone you love is struggling with a similar loss, may this conversation offer comfort and understanding.

In this episode, PAIN Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason Lachance explore groundbreaking new research on medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and other GLP-1 receptor agonists — originally developed for Type 2 diabetes and weight loss — that may also play a significant role in addiction treatment.Early studies suggest these medications could help reduce cravings and relapse rates. In fact, researchers found that People with alcohol use disorder who were prescribed Ozempic or similar drugs had a 50% lower rate of binge drinking. Individuals with opioid use disorder taking these medications had a 40% lower rate of opioid overdose.Flindt and Jason break down what these findings could mean for the future of recovery, and how science continues to expand our understanding of addiction and healing.

In this live episode of the Thinking Fellows, Caleb, Scott, Steve, and Adam discuss why Martin Luther's The Bondage of the Will is one of the most important yet most overlooked works of the Reformation. They explore why Luther's debate with Erasmus still matters today and how ignoring this work can lead to confusion about human will, divine grace, and the Gospel itself. Rather than being a cold philosophical text, The Bondage of the Willreveals the comfort of knowing that salvation depends entirely on God's decision and not our effort.

From failed leadership to disengaged citizens, the fall of NYC and the rise of socialism is a lesson for the entire country. Episode Highlights: Republicans push Curtis Sliwa to drop out so Andrew Cuomo can reenter politics, showing how fast New York forgets The GOP's surrender strategy explains why Republicans keep losing to Democrats in NYC and across America From Cuomo to Mamdani, New York's collapse into socialism and voter apathy proves citizens share the blame

On this episode of Trending with Timmerie, HGTV designer Paige Rienzo opens up about her powerful journey of healing from addiction, finding faith, and breaking free from New Age spirituality. After years of battling destructive habits with food, alcohol, spending, and work, Paige found herself in multiple 12-step programs searching for peace and purpose. But as she tells Timmerie, the road to recovery came with its own dangers. Many in the recovery community, she explains, are offered “a counterfeit spirituality” – a blend of New Age practices like yoga, crystals, and Eastern meditation that mimic faith but lack Christ. Paige shares how this subtle drift pulled her away from truth before she encountered the real healing power of Jesus and the Catholic Church. She reflects on the emptiness of “spiritual but not religious” culture and how authentic healing only happens through surrender, prayer, and the sacraments. Her story is one of courage, conversion, and rediscovering her worth in God – a reminder that no amount of self-help or self-improvement can replace divine grace.

Author Greg Prato joins us this week to discuss his new book Alternative for the Masses. The book argues that Nirvana didn't just happen out of nowhere. The seeds had been planted with bands like the Pixies and Jane's Addiction that prepared a way for Nirvana (and the whole grunge movement) to flourish. The book is an oral history featuring dozens of key voices from the scene (many of which are former guests) who share their recollections of that period including indie record labels, the drugs, Lollapalooza and key songs and albums, which Greg and I debate as well. It's a lively discussion with a great writer about an important chapter in music history. We're also giving away a book.

So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson suggest taking the readings for the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost to preach All Saints. They go through the story of Zacchaeus the tax collector who goes out to see Jesus. In return, Zacchaeus finds out that Christ was coming out to find him and bring salvation to his house. This is how Christ makes saints: by justifying the sinner by his grace. The Virgil Thompson essay mentioned can be found here.

Tap here to send us a message!The household of Stephanas “addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,” showing us what it means to be fully consumed with the work of God. In a world full of harmful addictions, we are called to develop a holy addiction that draws us to serve, love, and invest in His Kingdom with passion and consistency. When we become addicted to the things of God, the church, and helping others, our lives find purpose and our world begins to change.10/26/2025 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:I Corinthians 16:15-18II Timothy 1:7Acts 2:39Hebrews 10:24-25Hebrews 5:14John 15:5Romans 12:1II Corinthians 9:2Hebrews 6:10Galatians 6:2

Heartbreak lit the fuse, discipline did the rest — 70 pounds down, workouts, carnivore, the “revenge body,” the likes, the DMs. Then the crash: body dysmorphia, dopamine habits, weight regain, shame, and the pressure to stay “on brand.” The twins unpack what before/after photos never show — using your body for validation, calling it “power,” and finally choosing sustainability, boundaries, and grace.  Not for the algorithm. For God, for health, for peace.

And most importantly, how can we become aligned in our words, thoughts and actions so that we no longer have to watch we say and do?In this podcast, I share a simple but powerful 2-step process for maintaining our presence, our wisdom, and our peace and clarity so that we can always act in the most skilled and beneficial way that leads to longterm peace and wellbeing for ourself and our loved ones.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. https://pepties.com/partners/ What are GLP-1, GIP and the “dual/triple” agonists? First, let's review some biology to ground the discussion. GLP-1 (glucagon‐like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) are incretin hormones. Incretins are gut hormones that help with digestion and blood sugar control. They're released by the gut in response to food.  GLP-1 raises insulin levels after you eat to help lower blood sugar, slows gastric emptying, and reduces appetite. It also reduces how much glucagon your body makes. This helps to lower your blood sugar. Medications like semaglutide and dulaglutide work by mimicking GLP-1 and are often referred to as “GLP-1 agonists”. GIP has somewhat overlapping but distinct roles from GLP-1. It too, influences insulin secretion, but it also helps with fat metabolism.  In a nut shell, GIP helps fat cells respond more efficiently to insulin so they release stored fat to be used as energy when your body needs it. This process helps your metabolism shift from just storing energy to burning fat for fuel. Medications like tirzepatide work by mimicking both GLP-1 and GIP and are often referred to as “dual” agonists.  When GIP and GLP-1 are activated together — like in tirzepatide — they work as a team: GLP-1 helps control appetite and slow down digestion. GIP boosts how your body handles insulin and energy. Together, they help reduce hunger, improve metabolism, and burn fat more efficiently. Now here's where it gets a bit tricky.  A newer medication that's still in development, retatrutide, works on three hormone pathways: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. It's called a “triple agonist”, and even though it activates the glucagon receptor, it doesn't cause high blood sugar like you might expect. It's about balance. In type 2 diabetes and obesity, the body's hormone signals are out of balance. Retatrutide gently activates the glucagon receptor, but at the same time it strongly activates GLP-1 and GIP receptors — which still help control blood sugar and increase insulin. So blood sugar stays stable or even improves overall. Glucagon doesn't just affect blood sugar — it also increases metabolism and helps the body burn fat and calories. By slightly stimulating glucagon receptors, retatrutide can boost energy use and promote fat loss without causing big spikes in blood sugar. As a result, you get the blood sugar control of GLP-1 and GIP, plus the fat-burning benefits of glucagon activation — leading to even greater weight loss and metabolic improvement.  Right now, retatrutide is in phase 3 clinical trials, which are the final stage of testing before approval. These studies are expected to finish in early 2026, and if results look good, the FDA could approve retatrutide as early as 2027.  Addiction Why is this relevant for addiction? Because the gut-brain axis, reward circuitry, and the pathways that regulate “wanting/consuming” food overlap with those involved in substance use.  Appetite, reward, and craving may share neural substrates (dopamine, GABA, mesolimbic system) and so a drug that reduces drive to eat might also modulate drive to drink, smoke or use other substances. The link between GLP-1/related drugs and substance use disorders  Let's now dive into what the research says about GLP-1 receptor agonists (and related medications) in the context of alcohol, tobacco, and other substances. Let's start with what we know from animal research. In pre-clinical studies, scientists have found that GLP-1 receptor agonists seem to change how animals respond to addictive substances. A systematic review showed that in rodents, treatment with GLP-1 drugs reduced the behavioral effects of alcohol, nicotine, amphetamine, and cocaine. For example, one GLP-1 drug called exendin-4 reduced alcohol-related behaviors in rodents. And even more recently, a study in both male and female rats showed that giving semaglutide, tirzepatide, or even retatrutide, reduced alcohol discrimination, meaning the rats didn't experience the same “feeling” from alcohol as before. This means that the “interoceptive stimulus effects” or the internal sensations — how alcohol feels inside the body, changed. This is really important because this is what often drives people to drink or relapse. So, if these medications can blunt those internal cues, it suggests they might disrupt the rewarding effects of alcohol that help maintain addiction. When we shift to human studies, things get even more interesting. A systemic review found that out of five studies looking at GLP-1 receptor agonists in people with substance use disorders — mostly alcohol and nicotine — three showed real reductions in substance use, while two did not. In one large observational study of over 150 adults with obesity who drank alcohol, those who were taking semaglutide or tirzepatide for at least 30 days reported fewer drinks, fewer binge episodes, and lower overall intake compared to people not on those drugs. A phase 2 clinical trial of once-weekly semaglutide in adults with alcohol use disorder showed similar results — lower alcohol craving and some reductions in drinking behavior. There's also data from a massive registry-based study showing that people with alcohol or opioid use disorder who were prescribed GLP-1 or GIP drugs had 50% lower rates of alcohol intoxication and a 40% lower rate of opioid overdose. Still, experts are cautious — meta-analyses and reviews consistently note that the evidence, while promising, is still early and we don't yet have large, long-term randomized controlled trials. What's Going On? So, what's actually happening inside the brain and body that could explain these changes in craving and reward? How can medications originally made for diabetes and/or weight loss end up helping with addiction?” Mechanistically, GLP-1 drugs may affect the brain's reward system — especially dopamine signaling in areas like the nucleus accumbens — and reduce the “wanting” of reward substances like food or alcohol. They might also calm stress responses and make relapse cues less powerful. And there are probably some physical effects too — things like slower digestion and increased fullness, which might make it harder to physically consume large amounts of alcohol or even smoke as much. But again, many of these findings come from animal models, which don't always perfectly reflect human addiction. Most of the focus so far has been on alcohol, though there's also some early evidence that GLP-1 drugs might influence nicotine use. For substances like opioids or cocaine, the data is thinner and more mixed. Bottom line — at this stage, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and maybe even GIP/GLP-1 dual agonists, represent a really promising new direction for treating addiction — but it's still early days. We also don't yet have human addiction studies on retatrutide, pre-clinical data in rats show that, like semaglutide and tirzepatide, it too, reduces alcohol discrimination. In practical terms, if you're treating patients with obesity or diabetes who also struggle with alcohol or nicotine use, choosing a GLP-1 or dual agonist might offer an unexpected bonus — helping with cravings. It also gives us a new way to talk with patients about how metabolism, reward, and craving are all interconnected. But — and this is important — the data are still limited. Most studies are small, short, and often focus on people with obesity or metabolic disease rather than pure addiction. So, for now, it's an adjunctive idea, not a replacement for established therapies. We'll need larger randomized trials in people with substance use disorders to really understand who benefits, what doses work, and how long the effects last.

The Never-Ending Story of our Bound Will & Election. In this episode, we write an epilogue —so to speak— to our series on the Bondage of the Will and wrap up our thoughts about the Here We Still Stand Conference 2025. We ask, “From whence comes a preacher?” Where does one go for gospel-comfort and the gifts of salvation? What is the Gospel? What is the purpose of the Church? What are the practical consequences of having a will that is bound up to sin, the world, and the evil one? What happens when the churches reject the “hinge” upon which all doctrines turn? And we talk about fantasy and science-fiction writing, 80s children's movies, and other pop culture nostalgia. SHOW NOTES:  The Captivation of the Will: Luther Vs.

Your brain on revenge looks like your brain on drugs. Here, Dr. James Kimmel, Jr. explores the neuroscience of vengeance and the power of forgiveness.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1226What We Discuss with James Kimmel, Jr.:Revenge activates the same brain circuitry as drug addiction. When we experience grievances, our brain's pain centers light up, triggering cravings for revenge that activate the nucleus accumbens and dorsal striatum — the same pleasure and addiction pathways used by cocaine, gambling, and alcohol. This explains why revenge feels temporarily euphoric but leaves us wanting more.Most violence stems from perceived victimization, not inherent evil. Nearly all forms of human violence — from playground bullying to terrorism and genocide — originate from revenge-seeking behavior. The perpetrator almost always views themselves as a victim first, making revenge the root cause of mass shootings, intimate partner violence, gang conflicts, and even war.Imagined grievances trigger real revenge desires with real-world consequences. It doesn't matter whether victimization is real or manufactured — if it feels real in your head, it produces genuine revenge cravings. This explains how leaders like Hitler used the "stab in the back" myth to mobilize a nation, and why mass shooters nurse perceived slights that no one else remembers.Revenge addiction destroys relationships and keeps you trapped in the past. Unlike self-defense (which protects your future), revenge always looks backward, creating a preoccupation with past wrongs. It damages every relationship, increases anger and anxiety, and paradoxically makes you feel worse after the initial dopamine hit fades — all while fearing retaliation.Forgiveness is the neurological cure — and you can learn it. Science now shows we're hardwired for forgiveness as much as revenge. Forgiveness actually stops pain rather than just covering it up, shuts down revenge cravings, and reactivates your prefrontal cortex. Dr. Kimmel's "Nonjustice System" — a role-play trial method tested at Yale — gives you a practical way to be heard, hold someone accountable in your mind, and ultimately release yourself from past wounds.
