Podcasts about Alcohol

Alcohol might be one of the longest-standing relationships in your life, and today's episode will give you permission to grieve the breakup. You were taught to put alcohol on a pedestal - a magical substance that ‘would make every experience better'. Realizing that lie might come with sadness, confusion, anger, and...yes, grief. Lean into that. Feel it all. You won't stay there. I'm proud of you. Keep going.

Junk mail seems like a relic of another era. Physical ads showing up in your mailbox feel easy to ignore in a world dominated by digital marketing. Yet companies still spend billions sending those mailers every year. Why? Because for certain groups of people, those pieces of mail are surprisingly effective — far more than you might expect. https://www.uspsoig.gov/sites/default/files/reports/2023-01/RISC-WP-20-009.pdf Artificial intelligence is suddenly everywhere — writing emails, answering questions, summarizing documents, and even helping people make decisions. But should we trust it? Linguist Emily Bender, a professor at the University of Washington and one of the world's leading voices urging caution about AI hype, argues that we may be misunderstanding what these systems actually do. Named to the inaugural TIME 100 list of the most influential people in AI, she explains why tools like ChatGPT can appear intelligent while operating very differently from human thinking. She is co-author of The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want (https://amzn.to/3P1v6tn) and she offers an important perspective on how we should — and shouldn't — rely on AI. Humans have been drinking alcohol for thousands of years, and despite the well-known risks, it remains deeply embedded in cultures around the world. Why do people drink in the first place? Is alcohol simply a dangerous toxin, or does it serve psychological or social purposes that help explain its enduring appeal? Dr. Charles Knowles, Professor of Surgery at Queen Mary University of London and Chief Academic Officer at Cleveland Clinic London, brings both scientific expertise and personal experience to the discussion. Having struggled with alcohol dependency himself, he explores what alcohol does inside the body and brain, why some people develop problems while others do not, and how our culture shapes the way we think about drinking. He is the author of Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture (https://amzn.to/4b8HHCd). Razor blades are small, simple pieces of metal — yet they often cost far more than people expect. You may even notice they're locked behind glass at many stores. Why are they so expensive, and why haven't competitors driven prices down? Several companies have tried to disrupt the razor business but it hasn't gone as well as many consumers hoped. https://www.forbes.com/sites/andriacheng/2018/01/24/pgs-gillette-woes-have-translated-to-this-good-news-for-consumers/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS POCKET HOSE: Text SYSK to 64000 for your two free gifts with the purchase of any Pocket Hose Ballistic hose!

Breaking routine drinking patterns can feel like the most difficult part of finding freedom in your relationship with alcohol. Our brain kicks into autopilot mode, and suddenly, it seems like a drink magically appears in our hands. Figuring out what feeds that pattern is key to breaking it.

Then Coach Cole joins Jennifer, a single mom and nurse practitioner who traded wine for sugar and is carrying way too much alone. Both guests learn to embrace one truth: you don't have to drink to belong. In Cheryl's Session: Mexico drinking culture: walk, lunch, games, drinks…repeat Breaking routine drinking patterns when “fun” has always meant alcohol Handling “How long are you doing this?” and “What about Christmas?” questions Redefining fun and honoring your limits without apologizing Exit plans and boundary-setting when parties run late Having an honest conversation when your partner drinks more than you do In Jennifer's session: Sugar cravings and weight gain after going alcohol-free Spotting the shame voice and why it backfires Breaking routine drinking patterns when nights feel restless and overloaded Creating friction (less convenience) to interrupt autopilot choices Delegating the mental load: lunches, dishes, and daily responsibilities Practicing compassion so change feels lighter—and more sustainable Soraya Odishoo is a compassionate Certified This Naked Mind Coach who blends somatic healing with therapeutic models to support recovery.

If you've ever reached for a glass of wine at the end of a hard day without really deciding to, this episode is going to explain exactly why that happens — and why it has nothing to do with willpower or self-control. Your brain isn't misbehaving. It's being efficient. Over hundreds of repetitions, it has learned that alcohol is the fastest available route to nervous system relief — and it has built a neural pathway so well-worn that the decision happens before you're even conscious of it. That's not a character flaw or a lack of willpower. That's neuroscience. In this conversation, I'm sitting back down with Victoria Star — breathwork facilitator, midlife guide, and one of the most grounded voices I know on nervous system healing — to talk about what microdosing psilocybin actually does in the brain, why so many high-achieving women are turning to plant medicine in midlife, and what any of this has to do with your relationship with alcohol. Here's what makes this conversation different: psilocybin and alcohol operate on the same neurological terrain. They're both affecting the ratio of automatic, subconscious thinking to conscious, present-moment choice. Understanding how one works gives you a clearer picture of why the other has such a grip — and what it actually takes to loosen it. In this episode: Why your brain classifies alcohol as medicine — and why that's a rational response, not a moral failing What microdosing psilocybin actually does neurologically (and why it's not what most people think) The difference between a sub-perceptual dose and a hero's journey — and why that distinction matters Find me on: YouTube: @HangoverWhisperer TikTok: @hangoverwhisperer Instagram: @thehangoverwhisperer  X (Twitter) : @NotAboutTheAlc Watch The FREE Masterclass: The science behind take it or leave it–why some women can and how you can too.  If you are ready to get support from a community of women who are co-creating this change with intention and clarity... Click here to schedule a discovery call About My Guest, Victoria Lee Starr: Victoria is a Spiritual Outlaw and Midlife Midwife who guides women through the sacred season of reinvention using breathwork for transformation, guided microdosing plant medicine support, somatic ritual, and emotional excavation.

Real Sober Mom Danielle couldn't imagine a life without alcohol. Though alcohol didn't play a large role in her upbringing in the Congo with her missionary family, it slowly began to creep into her life after the death of her grandmother who she'd been taking care of in her early 20s in Colorado. Alcohol showed up for Danielle in her grief, and from that point she began to really love the way it made her feel.Drinking was the norm at the school Danielle began to teach at, which cemented it even more deeply into her lifestyle. More and more each year, she leaned on it to get herself through the grief of a miscarriage and the consistent challenges of being a teacher. Danielle knew she needed to quit, but she had no clue what a positive sober life could look like. It wasn't until she found this podcast that she began to hear stories of women who actually loved their sober lives. After the loss of a close friend this past summer, Danielle knew it was time to quit. So, she began to search for the joy in sobriety. She is now six months sober and she wants to encourage you to keep going! Community makes all the difference.

Episode SummaryIn this third episode of the March basketball series, Molly shares transparently about a recent three-week stretch of travel that disrupted her Mostly Alcohol-Free rhythm.With retreats, vacation, conferences, disrupted sleep, and limited access to her usual alternatives, she drifted from her typical low-risk limits and had fewer alcohol-free days than usual.Instead of spiraling, she chose to rebound.This episode explores the neuroscience of short-term pattern shifts, why regulation comes before restriction, and how to interrupt a streak without shame. Molly shares her real-time rebound plan — including five alcohol-free days this week — and what she'll do differently next time.Drifting happens.Rebounding builds self-trust.In This EpisodeWhy travel and novelty increase dopamineThe impact of sleep disruption on regulationHow environment shapes drinking behaviorWhy streaks strengthen neural pathwaysThe difference between drifting and spiralingWhy curiosity regulates and shame dysregulatesMolly's five-day rebound planKey TakeawaysDrift is human.Regulation comes first.Interrupting a streak restores flexibility.Pre-decision reduces in-the-moment choices.You are defined by your response, not your slip.ReflectionIf you've drifted recently, ask yourself:What contributed to it?What would your rebound look like this week?What can you pre-decide next time?Work With MollyLearn more at:www.mollywatts.comOr email: molly@mollywatts.comLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. 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 ★

Today's conversation is a continuation of the recent episodes we've been exploring around perimenopause, midlife physiology, and metabolic health. Over the past few weeks, we've been unpacking what changes in the female body during this season of life from a physiological perspective, what's actually happening inside the body? And today I want to dedicate an entire episode to one lifestyle input that starts landing very differently for many women in midlife alcohol. Now, before we go any further, let me throw out my disclaimers. This episode is not about judgment or superiority. It's not about telling anyone what they should or shouldn't be doing. My role here is education and support for those who need it. What you do with the information is completely up to you. But what I hear every single week from hundreds of women through coaching calls, check ins, conversations, the gym and messages is that many women want to feel better. They want more energy. They want fewer joint aches. They want less inflammation, better moods, improved quality sleep. And they definitely want less body fat. And what I also hear very consistently is this sentence. I can't tolerate alcohol like I used to. We'll discuss why this is the case, how the body metabolizes alcohol, and how to pivot alcohol's role in your life in midlife if you are open to a new path.   Time Stamps:   (1:15) Not Coming From A Place of Superiority (3:20) Your 20's vs Your 30's and 40's (7:27) Stress Physiology (9:13) How The Body Metabolizes Alcohol (22:00) Alcohol Serves A Role In Midlife (29:02) Working With The SF Coaching Method ----------  Apply for SF Coaching Method  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/sfhq-cc Complimentary Health Content  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/Health_Wellness_Community ----------  Follow Me On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahfechter.ifbbpro/   Check Out My Website - https://www.sarahfechter.com ----------  This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, other professional health care services, or any professional practice of any kind.

Marc Andreessen joins David Senra for a conversation about entrepreneurship, history, and what drives some of the world's most ambitious builders. In this conversation with David, Marc reflects on patterns he's seen across great founders, why many of them focus relentlessly on building rather than introspection, and how technology and entrepreneurship continue to shape the future.   Resources: David Senra Website: https://www.davidsenra.com X: https://x.com/davidsenra Show notes: https://www.davidsenra.com/episode/ma...

The Lord's Supper serves three essential purposes that make it far more than a simple ritual. First, it calls believers to remember Christ's death, keeping the cross central in their minds and hearts. Second, it prompts self-examination, inviting believers to confess sin and recommit to faithful living. Third, it points toward Christ's promised return, bridging the gap between His first coming and His glorious second coming. Only those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ should participate, as meaningful remembrance requires a personal relationship with Him. This sacred meal demonstrates pure grace - just as the elements are provided freely, Christ provides everything necessary for salvation. The reverence surrounding the Lord's Supper reflects its sacred nature and calls believers to examine their lives, walk in obedience, and eagerly anticipate Christ's return.

Darcy Chenoweth is a Montana-based Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner whose career sits at the intersection of medicine, trauma recovery, and the outdoor world. Darcy works with individuals and organizations—especially those in high-stress helping professions such as first responders, healthcare workers, and other frontline roles—to address burnout, trauma exposure, and the long-term impacts of stress. Her work blends psychotherapy, medication management, and practical tools that help people metabolize the intense experiences that often come with caring for others. Darcy grew up in Colorado's Front Range mountains, and later moved north to Missoula for college, drawn largely by the pull of the northern Rockies and the culture of Montana. Over the years, her life has included living off-grid in western Montana, working as an ER nurse in a small critical-access hospital, teaching backcountry emergency medicine around the world, and maintaining a parallel life as an artist working in ceramics. Those experiences—especially her years in emergency medicine and mountain environments—shaped her understanding of how trauma and stress accumulate in people who dedicate their lives to helping others. Today, Darcy's practice focuses on helping those individuals build awareness, resilience, and sustainable ways of engaging with difficult work while maintaining healthy lives outside of it. In this conversation, Darcy and I talk about the hidden drivers of burnout in helping professions, why community is essential for metabolizing trauma, and how modern life—despite all its conveniences—often strips away the friction and connection that humans need to stay mentally healthy. We also discuss the role of nature, trust, and shared experience in healing, along with Darcy's work supporting mountain communities through organizations like Mountain Muskox, which helps people process grief and loss connected to accidents in the mountains. Although much of Darcy's work focuses on first responders and other helping professionals, the ideas she shares in this conversation are relevant to anyone navigating stress, hardship, or big life transitions. It's a wide-ranging discussion about how humans process difficulty and how we can build lives and communities that help us come out stronger on the other side. Be sure to check out the episode notes for links to Darcy's practice, her work with Mountain Muskox, and several of the books and resources we discuss.

Meet The Stop Drinking Expert: Craig BeckCraig Beck, ABNLP, ABHYP, DhP, is a leading alcohol-addiction therapist, coach, and bestselling author whose work has helped more than 250,000 people create lives they no longer need to escape.Why Craig's Method WorksCraig spent twenty years caught in the same drinking loop you may know all too well, rationalising “just one,” waking up regretful, repeating the cycle. Traditional routes felt wrong: twelve-step meetings didn't resonate, rehab was impractical, and quick-fix gimmicks failed.Eventually, he had a 'penny drop' moment where he realized that alcohol isn't a reward at all but just attractively packaged poison. First, he fixed his own problem and has spent the last fifteen years helping others with a clear, science-backed framework that anyone can follow.No labels, no judgment, no willpower battles.www.CraigBeck.comwww.StopDrinkingExpert.com#soberlife #sobrietycoach #quitdrinking #stopdrinkingSupport the show

If you're trying to drink less or stop drinking, alcohol cravings can feel incredibly frustrating. You might make it through a few days or even a couple of weeks, and then suddenly the desire to drink shows up again—usually when you're stressed, overwhelmed, tired, or just trying to unwind at the end of the day. In this episode, I'm joined by Mary Tilson, a professional recovery coach, yoga and meditation teacher, and the founder of Sun and Moon Sober Living. We talk about why alcohol cravings happen, how to create a pause between impulse and action, and how to build the skills that help you move through cravings without starting over. Because the truth is: cravings don't mean you're failing. They're part of the process—and there are tools that make them easier to manage.

When something in life is not working, most of us instinctively try to add something. A new habit. A new system. A new goal. Another tool.But what if the smarter move is removing instead of adding?In this episode of Think Thursday, we explore the neuroscience behind why the brain defaults to addition, why subtraction can feel uncomfortable or even threatening, and how learning to simplify may be one of the most powerful behavior change strategies available to us.In This EpisodeWhy the brain equates improvement with accumulationResearch from Dr. Leidy Klotz showing our built-in bias toward adding instead of subtractingHow loss aversion makes removal feel like threat rather than refinementThe cultural conditioning that reinforces “more is better”How cognitive load impacts the prefrontal cortex and decision-makingWhy simplification increases flexibility and reduces overwhelmThe connection between subtraction and dopamine recalibrationHow removing stimulation can restore reward sensitivityThe difference between identity loss and identity refinementThe Neuroscience Behind ItYour prefrontal cortex has limited capacity. Every added system, rule, or goal requires energy and attention. When cognitive load increases, the brain defaults to automatic patterns.Subtraction reduces competing signals. Fewer cues mean less decision fatigue. Less noise allows greater clarity.When stimulation is constantly high, your dopamine baseline shifts. Reducing input can initially feel uncomfortable, but over time it recalibrates your reward system, improves focus, and restores sensitivity to everyday experiences.Simplification is not deprivation. It is neurological efficiency.A Simple Experiment for This WeekInstead of asking, “What should I add to improve this?” try asking:What is creating friction?What is adding noise?What feels heavy?What is competing for my attention?Then remove one thing.Not dramatically. Not impulsively. Thoughtfully.Subtraction compounds.Key TakeawayProgress does not always require more.Sometimes the most intelligent move is editing.Your brain may be wired to add, but you can choose to simplify.Less input can create better output.Less noise can create greater focus.Less complexity can create stronger consistency.Until next time, choose peace. ★ Support this podcast ★

What if life is boring without alcohol? That's one of the biggest fears people have when they think about quitting drinking. Not just, “What will I do on Friday night?”But deeper questions like: Will I still be fun? Will people still like me? Will my relationship still work? What do I do with stress, anxiety, awkwardness, or family events without a drink? In this episode, I'm breaking down why that fear is so common, what's really happening underneath it, and why “boredom” usually isn't the real issue at all. We're talking about the way alcohol becomes the signal to relax, connect, celebrate, and cope — and why removing it can feel like pulling a load-bearing wall out of your life. I also share a personal story about one of my biggest fears in early sobriety: that I wouldn't be funny anymore. If you've been worried that life without alcohol will feel dull, lonely, or less fun, this episode will help you understand what's actually going on — and why the version of you on the other side of this fear is more real, more confident, and more free. In this episode, we talk about: why people fear life without alcohol will be boring the real fear underneath “boredom” social anxiety, identity, and sober confidence how alcohol becomes the off switch for stress and discomfort why early sobriety can feel flat or empty at first dopamine, brain recalibration, and emotional healing how relationships and social life change without alcohol what it means to build a life you actually trust yourself in If you've ever wondered what life without alcohol actually looks like, grab your latte, pop in your earbuds, and let's talk about what's really going on underneath that fear.   Mentioned in this episode: Ready to stop drinking and start right now?DM me the word READY on Instagram or Facebook at Addiction Unlimited and let's talk.

Through heartfelt coaching, both discover that taking tiny steps and trusting the process is enough.

Stefan Molyneux talks with a caller trapped in a deteriorating business partnership where his co-owner's persistent heavy drinking has led to reckless decisions and mounting damage. He guides the man through the core issue of moral responsibility—why the partner's choices are not the caller's to fix indefinitely—and presses him to face the real costs of inaction, both to the business and to his own family's security. The discussion centers on accountability in practical terms: what loyalty actually requires when one side keeps failing, and how clinging to a broken arrangement can itself become a form of neglect toward those who depend on him. By the close, Molyneux brings the caller to the threshold of a tough but necessary decision—whether to take firm steps, possibly ending the partnership entirely, in order to protect his family's future from further harm.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
