Podcasts about Alcoholism

Most women don't realize how uncomfortable they are with feeling good—until things start going too well. That's when the sabotage creeps in. A snappy comment. A skipped workout. An unnecessary glass of wine. In today's episode, Colleen breaks down the concept of the “upper limit problem” from The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks—and explains how perfectionists and people-pleasers unknowingly block joy, ease, and success by clinging to struggle. You'll learn how your emotional thermostat gets set in childhood, why guilt and discomfort with pleasure keep you stuck, and how to reset your internal baseline so peace and happiness stop feeling unsafe. This episode is a powerful reminder that you don't have to earn your joy. You just have to stop arguing for your limitations.

Jacqueline S came in through a different recovery program (Al-Anon), couldn't leave because she felt compelled to return day after day, and slowly her life has been transformed one day at a time. Her 1st exposure to a 12 step program was on Saturday, May 18th. It was different but Jacqueline was hooked, hooked on what she didn't know at the time, but hooked none the less. Jacqueline knew she wanted more of 'IT'... She has now attended more than 1000 meetings since that day, and has finally stopped counting.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly Watts challenges the deeply ingrained belief that we must “start over” any time we slip up in our habit change journey—especially when it comes to drinking. Drawing from neuroscience, behavior psychology, and the Alcohol Minimalist framework, Molly explains why this mindset is not only emotionally unhelpful but also neurologically inaccurate.Listeners will learn how to reframe off-plan moments not as failures, but as meaningful data points that contribute to long-term growth and brain change. Whether it's drinking, eating, spending, or any behavior you're trying to shift, this episode offers an empowering new narrative: you are not behind, you are evolving.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why the idea of “starting over” is a product of traditional recovery models like Alcoholics AnonymousHow the AA concept of relapse and abstinence has shaped our cultural view of success and failureWhy your brain doesn't erase progress, but rather integrates and learns from each experienceHow to shift away from shame and into self-compassion without compromising growthThe role of automaticity in habit formation, according to Dr. Wendy WoodHow the brain builds resilience through “returning,” not perfectionA 3-step process to reframe setbacks and keep moving forwardKey Concepts & Tools:The Iterative Mindset – Growth is not linear; it's a spiral of adjustment and awarenessPause the Narrative – Catch the story you're telling yourself about failureName the Learning – Reflect on the experience with curiosity, not blameMake a Micro-Move – Realign in the moment with one small actionNeuroplasticity – Your brain is always adapting; no step is wastedSelf-Compassion Science – Dr. Kristin Neff's research shows kind self-talk leads to more consistent behavior changeReferenced Episode:Think Thursday: The Iterative Mindset Takeaway Quote:“Let's drop the idea of Day One. You are not behind. You are learning. You are aligning. You are leading your brain—one choice at a time.” ★ Support this podcast ★

In today's episode, Colleen shares a powerful one-on-one coaching conversation with a client who was dreading a weekend trip with her judgmental, high-maintenance mother-in-law. What started as a fear of overdrinking turned into something much deeper—a real-time lesson in emotional ownership, boundaries, and what it means to become unfuckwithable. This episode isn't about family dynamics—it's about taking your power back. If you've ever agreed to something just to avoid conflict and ended up feeling resentful, this is for you. You'll walk away with practical language, new scripts, and the mindset shift that will help you stop outsourcing your emotional well-being to other people's moods.    

Many Christians have varying views on the proper place of alcohol in the Christian life. Can Christians drink? If so, how much and how often? Or is it better for Christians to forgo consuming alcohol? Is it a sin for Christians to drink?In today's episode, Blake shares a "whole Bible" perspective on Christians and alcohol. That You May Know Him, Episode 255.

Suitcase closed, passport ready, and freedom buzzes in your chest. Then the old voice whispers: holidays demand cocktails. Airlines pour fizz at take-off, resorts pump two-for-one mojitos by noon, relatives push local wine at dinner. If you associate travel with endless rounds, sobriety can look fragile. Yet swaps and scripts work only when the bigger engine, mindset, runs smoothly. Let us fine-tune that engine so your next trip leaves you clear-eyed and unstoppable.https://www.stopdrinkingexpert.com/stay-sober-on-vacation/Imagine, no more hangovers!

Click here to watch the full interview with Carley on YouTube In this raw and relatable conversation, I'm joined by one of my incredible clients, Carley — a driven healthcare professional, mom of two, and former daily drinker who once believed her only two choices were to either quit drinking forever or keep white-knuckling it with shame and regret. Carley opens up about what her drinking looked like behind closed doors and the pressure she put on herself to “keep it together” — until it started to fall apart. She shares how overachieving, perfectionism, and people-pleasing became coping mechanisms, and how alcohol slowly crept in as her off-switch. We talk about the moment she realized her mental math wasn't working anymore, the emotional buildup that led her to finally book a discovery call, and what shifted when she heard someone say: “You don't have to get sober. You just have to feel better.” This is an incredibly powerful episode for anyone who has ever felt stuck between drinking too much and feeling like you can't stop completely. Carley's story is proof that emotional sobriety isn't about rules — it's about freedom. What you'll hear in Part 1: The hidden stressors that led Carley to overdrink (even as a healthcare worker who knew better) The fear of reaching out for help — and what made her finally do it The myth of “just try harder” and why it never works The exact moment she realized she didn't have to choose between chaos and abstinence   Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober.

Are you worried your teen will experiment with alcohol, vaping, or other risky behaviors?Do you wonder how to have those crucial conversations without getting shut down—or tuned out? In this powerful episode, Dr. Crystal Collier joins Colleen to unpack the science behind teen decision-making, impulsivity, and risk. With compelling insights from her own story and decades of research, Dr. Collier explains how dopamine, brain development, and social pressure collide in the adolescent years. She shares how high-risk behaviors like vaping, binge drinking, and overusing tech can alter executive functioning—and what parents can do to help. From early prevention strategies to family code building, refusal skills, and brain-based praise, this episode offers actionable steps to help your teen thrive. Crystal Collier, PhD, LPC-S, is a therapist, prevention researcher, educator, and author of The NeuroWhereAbouts Guide and Know Your Neuro: Adventures of a Growing Brain children's book series. The Know Your Neuro prevention model was selected for the Prevention and Education Commendation from the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. Key Takeaways: You can prevent risky behavior—but it takes consistency, brain-based conversations, and setting a clear family code. Starting early (even in 3rd grade) is ideal, but it's never too late to begin. Risky behavior alters brain development. Dopamine surges from vaping, drinking, or pornography can delay or damage the frontal lobe's growth—impacting impulse control, empathy, and decision-making. Refusal skills matter. Teens are more likely to say yes when they haven't rehearsed saying no. Helping your teen develop assertive or even humorous ways to resist peer and social media pressure is critical to their safety and confidence. Let your parenting be grounded in neuroscience—and empower your teen to protect their most valuable asset: their brain.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly dives into one of the most challenging but common scenarios: staying committed to your goals when everyone else around you is celebrating with alcohol. As summer ramps up—bringing with it weddings, barbecues, vacations, and concerts—the social pressure to drink can feel stronger than ever.Molly explores the neuroscience behind our desire to fit in, how FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) hijacks our behavior, and why choosing intentionality over impulsivity can feel so hard—but is absolutely doable. She shares mindset tools, practical planning strategies, and science-backed techniques to help you enjoy life fully without sacrificing your peace or self-trust.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why our brains are wired for social belonging—and how that impacts drinking decisionsWhat Solomon Asch's conformity studies reveal about peer pressureHow FOMO combines scarcity and shame (and how to spot it)Ways to shift your thinking from “missing out” to “building something better”Four brain-based tools you can use to feel more confident at social eventsThe power of novelty in rewiring the brain's reward systemHow to ground yourself in the moment and align with your long-term goalsTools & Concepts Discussed:Play the Movie to the End – visualizing the real outcomes of drinking off-planIf–Then Planning – a simple framework to prepare for triggers ahead of timeDistanced Self-Talk – how using your name can help regulate your emotionsGrounding Techniques – practices to stay present and calm in the momentThe Behavior Map – Alcohol Minimalist's foundational tool for changeNovelty as a Catalyst – why small, intentional changes can shift how you feelIdentity-Based Decisions – aligning your choices with who you are becomingReferenced Think Thursday Episode:“The Brain Loves Novelty—Use It to Reinvent Summer” — a short companion episode on how newness boosts engagement, motivation, and brain health.Mentioned Resources:Drink Less Success: More Dry July – Molly's 31-day email program + live coaching Takeaway Quote:“Peace isn't about perfect behavior. It's about aligned behavior. It's about becoming someone who desires alcohol less—even when the world around you doesn't.”If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone you love. And remember: peace is the goal—not perfection.Low 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 ★

We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.The guilt of setting boundaries. The manipulation tactics. The late-night jail calls begging for bail money. When you love someone struggling with addiction, these painful scenarios become all too familiar – and navigating them without a roadmap feels impossible.Matt Brown, seasoned interventionist and recovering addict, pulls back the curtain on the sophisticated manipulation techniques used by those resistant to treatment. "This is a way for your son or daughter to introduce fear and doubt," Matt explains when addressing the common claim that treatment is exposing them to "more drug dealers." Instead of second-guessing your decisions, Matt provides powerful language to hold your loved one accountable while maintaining compassion.For families wrestling with guilt over establishing boundaries, Matt offers a profound insight: that uncomfortable feeling is actually part of your healing process. Just as those in active addiction use substances to avoid difficult emotions, codependent family members enable to avoid their own feelings. When we change these patterns, suppressed emotions emerge – creating the opportunity for genuine healing and growth.  If you want more substantial help for codependency, please consider one of the following workshops:1. Terra Vista (Boise, Idaho)2. The Bridge to Recovery (Bowling Green, KY)3. Onsite Workshops (Nashville, TN)Perhaps most valuable is Matt's guidance on supporting without controlling. By shifting from "you need to" statements to conversations centered on mutual goals, families can break the adversarial dynamic that fuels resistance.
