Story at-a-glance Even moderate alcohol drinking increases your risk for vascular brain lesions by 60% compared to non-drinkers, challenging long-held beliefs about safe consumption levels Heavy drinkers have a 133% higher chance of developing brain lesions and 41% chance of getting tau tangles linked to Alzheimer's. Their life expectancy is also 13 years shorter compared to non-drinkers A study of 313,958 participants concluded there is no safe level of alcohol consumption for brain health, with genetic analysis confirming that increased dementia risk correlates with alcohol intake Former heavy drinkers showed lasting brain damage despite quitting, including smaller brain mass and lower cognitive function, indicating alcohol's effects are cumulative Recommendations include eliminating alcohol completely, addressing the root causes of drinking, joining support groups and educating yourself about the effects of alcohol

What if reprogramming your brain after quitting drinking could transform your entire emotional experience?  That's what Fran and Carol are discovering in this powerful episode with Coach Lisa. Fran, the youngest of eight, grew up associating alcohol with love, celebration, and anxiety. Her emotional wiring around alcohol began in early childhood and has run the show for decades—until now. Carol, a longtime health coach, used alcohol to unwind and cope with anxiety and depression. After 13 weeks alcohol-free, she's realizing the emptiness she once filled with wine is now an invitation to feel deeply and live authentically. Through coaching, reflection, and resilience, both women are proof that our emotional landscape isn't fixed—it can be rewired. In Fran's session: How childhood experiences with alcohol shaped Fran's identity Unpacking the dual associations of celebration and fear tied to drinking How early panic sensations created a pattern alcohol numbed out Reprogramming your brain after quitting drinking through micro-disruptions Fran's experiment with being sober around family and staying present How the narrative of alcohol as “connection” can be replaced with real joy The role of curiosity, compassion, and repetition in lasting change and other topics… In Carol's session: Navigating major life events like surgery without reaching for alcohol Feeling “empty” in early sobriety and learning to sit with discomfort Finding joy through nature, faith, and relationship with her husband Why being alcohol-free opened the door to emotional clarity How Carol is learning to design joy without relying on external substances Realizing that joy is a choice, not just a feeling and more… Lisa Kwiatkowski is a Certified Senior This Naked Mind Coach and Designing Your Life Coach. After breaking free from daily drinking in 2018, she now helps high-achieving women overcome anxiety and disconnection through intentional, alcohol-free living. Lisa's coaching blends science-backed mindset work with practical life design strategies, guiding women to create lasting change and authentic joy.

If you've ever found yourself wide awake at 3 a.m. questioning every life decision you've ever made, you're not alone—and alcohol might be the hidden culprit.

My guest is Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Arizona and a world expert on the science of grief and loss. We discuss what happens in the brain and body when we grieve, the role of dopamine and yearning in the grieving process, the health risks of getting stuck at particular stages of grief and how to move through loss while also deeply honoring the person, animal or thing that is no longer with us. Dr. O'Connor explains that grief involves cycling back and forth between protest and despair (often guilt and anger too) and explains science-supported ways to move through that process in the healthiest possible way. Everyone experiences grief and loss at some point. Dr. O'Connor provides valuable knowledge and tools to help you navigate grief under any circumstance.

Today we have Santino. He is 37 years old from Taunton, MA and took his last drink on May 24th, 2022.   This episode brought to you by Better Help – 10% off of your first month Exact Nature use code RE20 to save 20% off your order   Recovery Elevator has merch! We have hoodies, patches, shirts, tank tops and bracelets. Help us keep this project going and shred the shame!   Last call for registration to our sober travel trip to Peru. Registration closes tomorrow June 3rd.   A study on the state of restaurants revealed that 40% of restaurants in 2025 plan to dedicate more space on their menus for alcohol-free drink offerings. And Door Dash reported an 82% jump in non-alcoholic beer orders in 2025 alone. Things are changing and they are changing fast!   [03:29] Thoughts from Paul:   On episode 527, Paul talked about how Gallitin County, Montana is the drunkest place in America. Ironically, this is where much of this podcast is recorded, and this is where Paul got sober. We are reminded that quitting drinking can happen wherever, whenever, regardless of how drunk we think our cities/counties/states are.   Recently Paul read in a newsletter about a local event that said, “come join us for a night of alcohol-free country line dancing, swing dancing and two step”. Paul reached out to the organization putting it on and they thanked him for his support and said that they believe that country, swing and line dancing shouldn't be exclusive to bars.   We at Recovery Elevator couldn't agree more. Rule 22 for the win!   [08:18] Paul introduces Santino:   This is Santino's fourth appearance on the podcast. He first appeared on episode 397, and then returned for episodes 449 and 491.   Santino is 37 years old, has been married for 10 years and they have two children aged six and almost one. He is originally from the Midwest but currently lives in Massachusetts. Santino is currently working on writing a memoir regarding his childhood.   Drinking got out of control for Santino in his late twenties when he realized he was becoming a daily drinker. Trying to moderate didn't work as the line in the sand got further and further away for him and he was drinking in isolation. Santino says before he could reconcile with the fact that he didn't know how to stop, he had to first define what an alcoholic was.   Santino had dabbled in AA in the past while in active addiction as well as during a court order after a DUI. He never identified with it because he wasn't ready to quit. After reconciling that he had a problem, he started going to AA regularly and participated in the meetings. Santino really resonated with the idea of a higher power.   The first six months into his recovery Santino says he struggled with shame. Coming to terms with his past is something that he knows he will be living with indefinitely.   Santino works in the addiction field and understands that relapses can be part of many people's recovery. And while he feels that relapse isn't a bad thing but is greatly stigmatized.   Santino says the most profound healing that took place when he stopped drinking was his perception of himself. He stopped putting so much stock into how other people viewed him.   To put his years of sobriety in terms of themes, Santino shares that the first year was “darkness” the second year was “climbing” and the third year so far has been “practice”.   Since Santino's last interview he has welcomed his second son, continued to work on his relationships, still has the same job with the homeless and people with addictions, and working on being the best dad he can be to his two sons.   Santino's parting piece of guidance: you have to treat sobriety like you would treat anything else delicate in your life. It requires carefulness, it requires mindfulness, but it also requires full vulnerability.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down. You have got to take the stairs back up.

This week on High Society Radio, Chris Faga and Chris Stanley are joined by the hosts of GaS Digital Now — Natty Ice and Gay Blind Mike — for an episode that's one part UK slander, one part public bathroom horror, and about ten parts hentai.There's chip buttys in the building, a train-pants-shitting confession, and an all-out debate on whether liking Nirvana makes you gay. Also, Mike might be afraid of pegging, and Nat might be holding that against him forever.

In this episode, we explore how meaningful conversation can be divided into three emotional spaces — even if you live alone:

CALIFORNIA SOBER, WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? This conversation explores the concept of a controversial approach to recovery that allows for the use of marijuana while abstaining from hard drugs. The hosts discuss the definitions of sobriety and recovery, the implications of calling oneself sober while using other substances. The dialogue highlights the differing perspectives within the recovery community regarding the validity and effectiveness of California Sober as a method of harm reduction, and the role of medication in recovery. The conversation also touches on the intersection of faith and community responsibility in the context of addiction recovery.

My guest today is Ashleigh who came to a workshop back in 2018 – and she's been sober ever since! In this episode:- Ashleigh realised that there could be a problem when she found herself making lots of rules and then promptly breaking them So if you find yourself thinking I'm not going to drink during the week or I'm only going to drink at weekends then perhaps it's time to reflect on what's going on If you keep making rules and keep breaking them, then just recognize that you do have an issue and you need to make some changes. You heard Ashley say that by the end of the workshop she had gained enough new information to realise it would be pointless to try to moderate. She had to go all in. She knew that she'd crossed thatline into dependence, and that there could be no going back, only going forwards. Ashleigh felt confident as she was leaving the workshop. She had her toolkit. She had some new information. She had some new sober buddies.  She knew she could do this. At the beginning of her journey, she decided to treat herself to all the sweet things that she wanted. She drank hot chocolate. She often had coffee and cake, and she decided to just focus on not drinking which is very sensible. At Tribe Sober we say that we can only chase one bunny at a time – so at the beginning we need to focus on the not drinking bunny. The dieting bunny can wait a bit – our metabolism will work more effectively when we quit drinking so you might not even need to diet! In Ashleighs case she weaned herself off the sugar, off the sweet things, and she's lost an amazing 10 kgs. She talked about the many benefits of sobriety and these days she is much less anxious and more confident. So it's been a huge win on every front. For Ashley, the workshop was really a turning point in her life, so at the age of just 40, she's got a whole different future ahead.  In fact, she fully recognized that if she hadn't taken this step, she could have found herself in a very difficult place in five years time. As she said, it's a slippery slope or indeed a slippery fish, as I think she called it.  Many of us who've quit drinking can look back and realise that taking that hard decision to quit was a catalyst for changing our lives and building a happier and healthier future.   Episode Sponsor This episode is sponsored by the Tribe Sober Membership Program.  If you want to change your relationship with alcohol then sign up today - here is the link.  Help us to spread the word!

Independence, risk-taking, and peer pressure. Welcome to the teenage years with food allergies! Managing food allergies during the teen years poses new challenges. Tweens and teens are gaining independence, navigating social pressures, and taking more responsibility for their health. But this is also the stage where risky behavior peaks, and the risk for severe allergic reactions is highest. That's why clear communication and trust matter more than ever. In this episode of our Food Allergy Stages Series, Dr. Travis Miller joins Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta to unpack how food allergy management changes from ages 12 to 18. We talk about empowering teens through shared decision-making, building trust between parents and teens, and developing essential life skills like label reading, restaurant communication, and self-advocacy. We also dive into difficult topics like bullying, alcohol, and mental health. Finally, we address why emotional support is just as important as carrying an epinephrine auto-injector. What we cover in our episode about managing food allergies in teens: Why trust matters. Teens are more likely to follow allergy routines when they feel heard and involved. Empowering independence. From grocery shopping to reading labels, this is the age to start turning over the reins. Talking about risky behavior. Alcohol and dating can put teens with food allergies at higher risk. Bullying and boundaries. Learn how to spot signs of bullying and who can help your teen feel safe and supported. Mental health and identity. Food allergies can affect confidence. We share ways to support emotional wellness and self-esteem. Episode 5 in our “Food Allergies: Ages & Stages” series  Across six episodes, we explore how food allergies show up and shift through different phases of life, from introducing solids in infancy to navigating school and adapting in adulthood. We're here with evidence-based info, expert insights, and lived experience to guide you through it all.

Episode 1495: Hollywood Fatigue

"How much can I drink before it becomes a mortal sin?" This provocative question, posed by a young man to his priest, opens a doorway to profound spiritual reflection about our relationship with alcohol. The priest's answer was transformative: drink as much as you want, provided it's compatible with loving God with your whole heart and loving your neighbor as yourself.This question frames our thoughtful exploration of Catholic teaching on alcohol consumption. Drawing from the Catechism, we discover that while the Church doesn't condemn alcohol outright, it emphasizes temperance and warns against the dangers of drunkenness. We examine when drinking might cross the line into mortal sin, requiring grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent.Scripture offers us a balanced perspective, acknowledging both wine as a gift that "gladdens the heart of man" and the warnings against drunkenness that "leads to debauchery." Through the wisdom of saints like Augustine, Benedict, and Thomas Aquinas, we gain insights into how temperance isn't about restriction but about freedom—saying yes to the greater joy of union with God rather than temporary pleasures.This isn't about judgment or shame but discernment and living in alignment with God's call. I invite you to reflect on how your drinking affects your relationships with God, others, and yourself. Are you making an idol of alcohol, or is it serving as a substitute for the peace only God can provide? Whether you're questioning your relationship with alcohol or seeking deeper understanding, remember you're not alone on this journey.

The shocking fact is that alcohol is responsible for around three times more deaths globally than any other drug combined, save for tobacco. However, many of us still consume it. So how have we reached this point, and why is alcohol consumption still so deeply ingrained in human culture? In this episode, we speak to Professor David Nutt about the history of alcohol use and the many and varied effects it has on our health, lives and wellbeing. He tells us exactly what alcohol does to our bodies and brains, why some of us find it so difficult to stop drinking once we've started, and why education is vital if we are to limit the damage alcohol causes to public health.

In 2021, Witcher fan Ja'Nya Hashi found themself flying overseas to spend four days at The Witcher School, the long-running, now sadly defunct Witcher Live Action Role-Playing (LARP) experience set at a remote castle in Poland. Was dressing up and pretending to be a Witcher-in-training something that was thrilling, confusing...or just a whole lot of cringe? In our newest side quest, we welcome Nya to our studio to find out! Over a couple of Old Fashioneds, Nya discusses their Witcher School experience, from sneaking around the castle's secret passages late at night, to the surprisingly terrifying Nekker hunt, to surviving the oddly relaxing Trial of the Grasses.

What if your goal to stop drinking is actually making it harder to succeed? In this episode, Sara and Barb open up about their personal struggles with alcohol, shame, and self-doubt—and what happens when they shift focus from staying sober to finding peace. With the help of Coach Lily, Sara learns how to set emotional goals instead of sobriety goals, reframing her "alive goal" from white-knuckling abstinence to creating inner peace. She discovers that joy is a skill, not a personality trait, and that the journey to change can be meaningful, even enjoyable. Barb, coached by Pam, shares how she relapsed after 18 months alcohol-free and fell into a spiral of hiding, guilt, and fear. Through compassionate coaching, she begins to see that her experience doesn't erase her success—and that her desire to feel free is more powerful than her fear of failure. Both women realize that emotional goals—like peace, freedom, or joy—can provide lasting motivation where rules and willpower fall short. If you've ever felt stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset, this episode offers a powerful shift in perspective. In Sara's session: Why day-counting made sobriety feel like a life sentence How to set emotional goals instead of sobriety goals for deeper motivation Understanding the fear of failure and how it can trigger relapse Reframing “doing the work” as joyful, not punishing Letting go of the belief that peace is lazy or selfish Finding freedom through emotional self-inquiry Turning “I won't drink” into “I want peace” and other topics… In Barb's session: Returning to alcohol after 1.5 years alcohol-free Feeling shame and hiding drinking from loved ones Using emotional goals to rebuild confidence Releasing fear of failure and embracing hope Using past success as evidence you can change again The power of curiosity over self-judgment Reframing relapse as data, not disaster Creating a new goal: waking up at peace, not in regret and more… Lily Weis is a Certified This Naked Mind Coach who helps others find peace, purpose, and joy beyond alcohol. After realizing that drinking was making her world feel small and disconnected, Lily feared that quitting would mean losing fun, friendship, and connection. But what she discovered instead was freedom. Today, Lily lives with a deep sense of inner joy and emotional resilience—even on hard days. She works exclusively with members of The Path, where she supports others in creating vibrant, alcohol-free lives filled with meaning and adventure. Pam McRae is a Certified TNM Coach, Master Life Coach, and Gray Area Drinking Coach. Since rethinking her relationship with alcohol in 2017, she considers herself a non-drinker. Pam empowers others through her Freedom Connection group coaching, where people support each other in their alcohol journeys. She also uses her experience and knowledge to guide you through tough times such as grief. Learn more about Coach Pam: https://thisnakedmind.com/coach/pam-mcrae/

Story at-a-glance Your gut microbiome plays a central role in determining whether you get food poisoning, even if you eat the same contaminated meal as others who stay symptom-free Alcohol disrupts your gut's protective bacteria within hours, making you far more susceptible to foodborne pathogens, even after just one night of heavy drinking Eating more of a contaminated food increases your odds of getting sick, so the quantity you ingest is just as important as the type of bacteria present Cross-contamination in the kitchen — like using the same cutting board for raw meat and vegetables — is one of the fastest ways harmful bacteria get into your meals Reheating leftovers won't always destroy toxins already produced by bacteria, meaning improperly stored food could still make you sick even after it's cooked again
