Podcasts about Drinking

Today's Sponsor: ToyBox 3D Printers In today's episode, we talk about wine, anesthesia, and the quiet ways men numb pain instead of feeling it.As Jesus was led to the cross, He was offered wine to dull the pain. He refused it. Not because the pain didn't matter — but because He chose to fully feel the weight He was carrying.Many men don't explode emotionally.They disappear.Instead of anger, they feel numb.Instead of emotion, they feel distance.Instead of presence, they reach for distraction.Scrolling.Drinking.Porn.Overworking.Anything that keeps the feelings at bay.In this episode, we explore what it looks like to stop numbing and start feeling again — not all at once, not perfectly, but honestly. Because when you begin to feel, you begin to heal. And healed men become present men.In This Episode:Why emotional numbness is just as serious as emotional blowupsThe overlooked moment when Jesus refused wine on the way to the crossHow men practice “avoidant coping” without realizing itThe cost of numbing out on marriage, fatherhood, and presenceA simple one-minute practice to begin feeling againToday's One-Minute Practice:Instead of asking, “What am I feeling?”Ask this:“What am I avoiding feeling today?”Sit with it.Name it.Don't numb it.You don't need to fix everything.You just need to stay present.Strong families begin with healed men.

Alcohol isn't a reward. It's not a release. It's a performance tax and in this episode, we prove it. On this week's That Sober Guy Podcast (the number one sober podcast since 2014), we break down how even “moderate” drinking quietly drains focus, fragments sleep, dulls urgency, and taxes next-day execution. Drawing from real-world patterns and insights from the Sober Male Index, this episode exposes what most men feel but can't quite name: you don't feel hungover, you feel slightly off. We cover: How alcohol disrupts sleep, cognition, and emotional regulation Why the biggest sobriety gain isn't motivation, it's baseline clarity The cultural protection around alcohol and why opting out makes people uncomfortable How alcohol delays stress, then charges interest Why “I don't have a problem” is the wrong metric. and ROI is the right one If you're a high-performing man, an executive, founder, or leader, this episode will challenge you to audit what's quietly leaking your energy and compressing your edge. Bottom line:If it costs tomorrow, it's not a reward.Clarity compounds faster than motivation.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly picks up where last week's conversation on the Fresh Start Effect left off and explores what happens in the brain after motivation fades. Using neuroscience and behavior change research, she explains why January 8 is often the point where people assume they have failed, even though this is actually the phase where real change begins.Molly breaks down why most New Year's intentions are abandoned by mid-January and reframes this not as a lack of discipline, but as a misunderstanding of how the brain works. She explains the difference between motivation and follow-through, the role of dopamine, and why the brain naturally resists energy-intensive new behaviors. The episode focuses on how to create conditions that support consistency without relying on willpower.What You'll LearnWhy most New Year's resolutions are abandoned by mid-JanuaryHow the Fresh Start Effect creates motivation but not sustainabilityThe difference between motivation and follow-through in the brainThe role of dopamine in anticipation versus long-term changeWhy habits live in different brain circuits than goalsHow the brain prioritizes energy conservationWhy resistance and friction are expected during behavior changeHow follow-through builds self-trust over timeKey Concepts ExplainedFresh Start Effect as a motivational sparkDopamine and why motivation naturally fadesPrefrontal cortex as the center of planning and intentionBasal ganglia and its role in habit automationEnergy conservation as a primary function of the lower brainFollow-through as infrastructure, not enthusiasmPractical Principles Shared in the EpisodeReduce decisions to conserve cognitive energyAnchor new behaviors to existing routines through habit stackingShrink behaviors to reduce resistance and threatExpect friction as part of learning, not failureBuild evidence through repetition rather than relying on excitementKey TakeawaysMotivation fading does not mean you are behindFollow-through begins when excitement endsConsistency during low motivation is what rewires the brainSmall steps repeated over time create sustainable changeSelf-trust is built through evidence, not intentionRelated Think Thursday EpisodesThe Myth of the Fresh Start BrainConsistency: The Brain's Super PowerThe Iterative Mindset and Behavior ChangeBelief Echoes and Why Change Feels HardUnbreakable Habits and the Voice That Keeps Them Alive ★ Support this podcast ★

Why does eliminating alcohol suddenly make you crave sugar like Cookie Monster, struggle with sleep (though everyone swears you'll snooze like a baby), or find yourself existentially bored? These aren't signs that Dry January "isn't working." They're signs that your nervous system, hormones, and dopamine pathways are recalibrating.

Paul wants to cover some basics and let you know what we are about.   Recovery Elevator is about quitting drinking. The goal isn't cutting back, moderation or putting the beast back in the cage. It's full send on zero alcohol consumed.   Recovery Elevator is also about embracing that there is no right or wrong way to ditch the booze, just don't do it alone. No explanation needed her, we get it. What you'll find here and in Café RE is there is no judgment. We all know where you are and have been there ourselves.   Recovery Elevator is the podcast, courses, Dry January, sober travel, merch, Instagram and more.   Café RE is the non-profit alcohol-free community – it's the social app for sober people. We've got 25+ chats each week, Accountability Partner pairings, in-house AA meetings, book club, movie club, etc.   [06:27] Paul introduces Sarah:   Sarah is a painter and lives in San Diego with her partner and two daughters, 17 and 19. For fun, she enjoys surfing with her partner, backpacking with her older daughter and loves living on the beach.   Sarah says she grew up in an idyllic childhood. Her parents drank but not to excess. She recalls that she was a worried child with a tendency towards overthinking and had a addictive personality to many things.   Drinking wasn't part of her story while in school. She was on the cross-country team from seventh grade until she was a sophomore in college. After an injury took her out of the sport, she began to participate in parties more. She quickly recognized that drinking took away some insecurities and inhibitions and enjoyed that aspect but realized she couldn't moderate.  Sarah developed a "take it or leave it" attitude towards alcohol but developed an eating disorder. Food became the replacement for alcohol when it came to self-medicating.   After a divorce, Sarah made a new friend that was going through the same things. She confided in him about her eating disorder and he helped her find treatment for it. While in the process of recovering from the ED, she started using alcohol again and would replace meals with beer. Sarah began asking God, "why are we having me have another problem?" She knew she was meant for better things but was having a hard time stopping the addictions.   Sarah used prayer to try and find the help she was after. She began going to AA, listening to podcasts and working herself to try and gain the tools to decide the addiction wasn't an option anymore. She was able to gain some traction but relapsed after several months of sobriety. In spite of being upset about being back at day one, Sarah learned to just keep showing up for herself and others and stopped beating herself up.   Sarah has removed food and alcohol as options for coping. When she needs to get away, she utilizes the beach and the ocean. She enjoys the studio space with her art to help her get out of her head.   Sarah O'Connor Art   Sarah's Instagram   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down We gotta take the stairs back up We can do this.     Café RE RE on Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube  

New Year Of Intentions, Nertz to Resolutions. Why start the year lying? Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.       -Alice Morse Earle- Let's get anti-inflammatory!  Drinking hot lemon water in the morning is a popular ritual that offers several practical health benefits, though it is often surrounded by some common myths. While it isn't a "miracle cure," it is an excellent way to kickstart your body's essential functions. Myth vs. Reality The Claim The Reality "It detoxes your body." Your liver and kidneys handle detoxing 24/7. Lemon water doesn't "flush" toxins, but its hydrating effect helps your kidneys filter waste more easily. "It melts fat/boosts metabolism." There is no evidence that lemon water directly burns fat. However, it can help with weight management by replacing high-calorie drinks or reducing hunger before a meal. "It alkalizes your blood." While lemon juice is alkalizing after metabolism, it cannot change the pH level of your blood (which is strictly regulated by your body). ADD The Anti-Inflammatory Duo: Turmeric & Black Pepper Turmeric is famous for curcumin, a compound with powerful anti-inflammatory effects. However, curcumin is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb on its own. The Science: Adding a pinch of black pepper contains piperine, which has been shown to increase curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%. Goal: Reducing joint pain and systemic inflammation. How to add: 1/4 tsp turmeric powder + a crack of fresh black pepper. 2. The Digestive Aid: Fresh Ginger Ginger contains gingerol, which has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It's particularly effective at soothing the digestive tract and reducing "gut inflammation." The Benefit: It stimulates digestive enzymes and can help reduce bloating or morning nausea. Goal: Improved gut health and reduced muscle soreness. Combining red-fleshed apples (such as the Redlove or Weirouge varieties) with celery in a juice creates a potent, anti-inflammatory beverage that is nutritionally superior to standard green apple and celery mixes. While regular apples have white flesh, red-fleshed apples are "bio-fortified" by nature, containing significantly higher levels of antioxidants throughout the entire fruit, not just the skin. People work hard to steal money. After a year of reflection, I'm back with a sound that feels like home. "Hold Me Close" is officially out—think cinematic soul meets raw, intimate storytelling. The wait is over. Let's dance.

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.

Join Mostly Dry January-The Daily!In this New Year's Day episode of Think Thursday, Molly explores why January 1 feels so powerful psychologically and why that feeling so often fades. Drawing on neuroscience, mindset research, and behavioral science, she explains the difference between the Fresh Start Effect and the myth that our brains reset overnight.Using research from behavioral scientist Katy Milkman, Molly breaks down why temporal landmarks like January 1 increase motivation, how dopamine fuels anticipation, and why habits do not change through symbolism or intention alone. She explains what actually drives sustainable behavior change and how identity, repetition, and environment shape the brain over time.This episode reframes January not as a moment of reinvention, but as an opportunity to continue building momentum with clarity and compassion.What You'll LearnWhy January 1 feels emotionally different from other daysWhat the Fresh Start Effect is and why it works as a motivatorHow dopamine drives anticipation rather than follow throughWhy the brain does not reset habits or patterns overnightThe role of the basal ganglia in habit formationHow identity based change can either support or sabotage progressWhy self rejection increases all or nothing thinkingWhat works better than willpower for sustainable behavior changeKey Concepts ExplainedFresh Start Effect and temporal landmarksDopamine and anticipation versus long term habit wiringNeural efficiency and why the brain prefers familiar patternsIdentity based behavior change and evidence gatheringIteration over intensity for neuroplasticityEnvironment over willpower as a driver of consistencyPractical Reframes from the EpisodeShift from starting over to continuing forwardFocus on strengthening what already existsThink aligned habits instead of new habitsUse January as an informative month rather than a performanceBuild identity through small repeated actionsReduce friction instead of relying on motivationResearch and References MentionedKaty Milkman's research on the Fresh Start EffectHow to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to BeNeuroscience research on the basal ganglia and habit loopsIdentity based behavior change research in psychologyRelated Think Thursday EpisodesThe Illusion of Starting Over in Habit ChangeConsistency: The Brain's Super PowerThe Iterative Mindset and Behavior ChangeBelief Echoes and Why Change Feels HardDefensive Pessimism ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us a textHave you ever been at a party, wedding, or holiday gathering holding a soda and felt like everyone noticed you weren't drinking?In this episode of Sober Friends, Matt and Steve talk honestly about what it's like to be the only sober person in the room—especially early on. They dig into why sobriety can feel uncomfortable in social settings, why it's not really about the alcohol, and how losing that “social lubricant” can make everything feel louder and more exposed.They explore the spotlight effect, identity shifts, guilt and shame from past behavior, and why being around heavy or sloppy drinking can still feel unsettling—even with time sober. Most importantly, they share practical tools that actually help: making phone calls, having an exit plan, taking action when your mind starts spiraling, and learning skills that make social situations manageable instead of overwhelming.If you're navigating parties, holidays, weddings, or work events without alcohol—and wondering if you're doing sobriety “wrong”—this episode is for you. You're not weak. You're not broken. And it does get easier.Support the show

Today we have Jenn. She is 52 years old, from Washington, DC and she took their last drink on September 3rd, 2023.   This episode is brought to you by: Café RE – the social app for sober people   Join us for our Dry January course Restore at 8pm eastern time on January 1st. This is the first of 13 sessions throughout the month, and this course is all about accountability and connection.   [01:13] Thoughts from Paul:   Today Paul talks about the origin of the title to his new book Dolce Vita which will be released on January 1st.   What he has learned over the years in his own recovery and while interviewing hundreds of people on the RE podcast is that the addiction is trying to get us to the true Dolce Vita – the true good life. Of course, not the Dolce Vita at the bottom of a wine bottle because if you're listening now, you've already realized that it doesn't deliver.   The true Dolce Vita is seeing through the "I'll be happy when…" trap. It is stepping away from the me-me-me voice inside the head and leading a life where you walk others home after you find your own footing. It is recognizing oneness in a world of duality.   Paul's message before we enter the new year is yes, do the work, plan for the future. Put the bottle down but don't ignore the timeless part of you that is trying to land more and more into the true Dolce Vita. You're already there.   [06:51] Paul introduces Jenn:   Jenn is 52 and lives in the DC area with her two children. For work, Jenn is a civil engineer and for fun she enjoys traveling, camping, hiking, attending concerts and is a gourmet cook.   Jenn first drank in middle school and loved untouchable feeling she got from it. She never blacked out, but it helped her make friends and feel at ease. She was just drinking to have fun and that continued through high school and college. After graduation, Jenn moved to Richmond VA where there were bars on every corner.   Drinking became part of her routine until Jenn's boss warned her that she could lose her job if she continued. She would begin to put boundaries on her drinking when anything would happen and says she soon painted herself into a corner where the only safe place to drink was at home.   Jenn got married and they moved to Philadelphia. Both times her wife was pregnant, Jenn chose not to drink in solidarity with them but would go right back after the kids were born. Jenn traveled a lot for work and being in a high-pressure job, drinking was a way for her to ease the stress.   It was during COVID that Jenn would drink alone in the basement often and realized how miserable she was. Her kids were scared of her, she was not living up to her potential and suicide felt like the only option.   While watching a classic movie about a transgender person, Jenn found herself having an existential crisis and didn't know who she was anymore. This contributed to her drinking and created complications with her diverticulitis which required surgery. She had recently began taking Ativan in addition to her drinking to help with her stress and insomnia. After her mother died, she began to abuse the drug.   On Labor Day weekend in 2023, Jenn decided to quit the drug and had terrible withdrawals. She decided to check into detox for a week and while there realized that she needed to quit both the Ativan and the drinking. She started working the 12 steps and got a sponsor which also led to her going to gender counseling to help deal with her transition.   Life changed for Jenn when she began to live an authentic life. Her marriage didn't survive, but she and her ex-wife are still great friends and coparents. A job change has allowed her to spend more time with family and her recovery community. She supplements her recovery with podcasts, books, exercise and counseling. Her higher power gets her outside of herself and she has the goal to help others by sharing her experience.   Recovery Elevator It all starts from the inside out. I love you guys. We can do this.   RE on Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube  

I used to believe drinking was harmless—until I realized it was quietly stealing my energy, focus, and edge as an entrepreneur. In this episode, I share the exact system I built to stop drinking without relying on willpower, guilt, or isolation. I break down how eliminating the right triggers, preparing for social pressure, and shifting your identity can unlock more clarity, better sleep, and dramatically higher performance. This isn't about perfection or judgment—it's about removing the one habit that slows down your momentum more than you realize. If you want more energy, sharper thinking, and a faster path to income and freedom, this episode may be the most important one you listen to this year. Let me know what you think of today’s episode!

But what about the health risks of light to moderate drinking? More people, especially the Gen Z population, are leaning toward moderation of alcohol intake rather than going completely dry, shifting the popular "Dry January" challenge toward more of a "Damp January" trend. While the role of alcohol in health-related outcomes is complex and nuanced, a new meta-analysis of 23 major studies from 2000 to 2024 found that light-to-moderate drinking carries the same – or in some cases lower – risk of death compared to abstaining, while lifestyle factors like diet and exercise play a huge role in outcomes. Likewise, a new report published in September sheds light on alcohol and health including WHO data showing reductions in alcohol-related morbidity and mortality with many countries on track to meet targets for reducing harmful drinking. Tune in to this episode with guest Jennifer Tujague, MPH, to learn about: ·       the different and conflicting reports on alcohol intake and recommendations ·       the research on alcohol consumption and health ·       how moderation is defined ·       different drinking patterns and associated risks ·       combined effects of obesity and alcohol ·       alcohol and weight  ·       GLP-1s and alcohol ·       Non-alcoholic beverages ·       The Damp January trend ·       resources for health professionals and the public

Americans are drinking less alcohol than at any point in nearly a century. You'd think this would be cause for celebration. Fewer people consuming poison should mean fewer people dying from it, right? Wrong. Dead wrong.

In this special holiday revisited episode of Think Thursday, Molly explores why mental rest is essential for brain health, especially coming out of a season of overstimulation. She explains how modern life is designed to hijack our attention, keeping us in constant reaction mode and depriving the brain of the downtime it needs to function well.Molly breaks down what happens neurologically when the brain is exposed to nonstop input, including cognitive fatigue, reduced creativity, increased stress, and weaker memory consolidation. She revisits the role of the default mode network and explains why creativity and quiet, not constant consumption, are key to restoring mental clarity and emotional regulation.The episode closes with practical, science backed strategies for reclaiming mental rest and intentionally creating space for the brain to recover and thrive.What You'll LearnThe difference between mental rest and sleep or meditationWhy the brain is not designed for constant stimulationHow nonstop input leads to cognitive fatigue and decision fatigueThe role of the default mode network in creativity and problem solvingWhy overstimulation increases stress, anxiety, and emotional reactivityHow modern technology has removed natural stopping points for the brainWhy attention is the product in today's digital economyKey Concepts ExplainedCognitive fatigue from continuous information processingDefault mode network and its role in reflection and creativitySympathetic nervous system activation from constant stimulationMemory consolidation requiring downtime and restAttention as a limited resource that must be protected intentionallyPractical Strategies Shared in the EpisodeSchedule at least 30 minutes of tech free time each dayEmbrace boredom and allow moments of silence without distractionCreate a no phone zone in one part of your day, such as meals or bedtimeReplace scrolling with hands on, real world creativityPrioritize presence over constant consumptionReal World Creativity Ideas MentionedPlaying music or learning an instrumentDrawing, painting, or doodlingWriting by hand through journaling or copying quotesGardening, crafting, sculpting, or woodworkingCreative movement such as dancing, stretching, or mindful walkingWhy Mental Rest MattersMental rest is not wasted time.

Ever gotten a scarlet, hot face after drinking alcohol or know someone who has? Many people felt it as they celebrate the holidays with loved ones, sipping mulled wine, cocktails or champagne. That's because this condition, commonly called "Asian flush" or "Asian glow," affects an estimated half a billion people, who can't break down aldehyde toxins that build up in their bodies. But what if there's a benefit to having Asian glow? Katie Wu, a staff writer for The Atlantic, has looked into the research as to why the condition might have been a powerful tool for some of our ancestors to survive disease.

Have you ever felt like you're the only one who can't get a handle on your drinking? Like all the success and determination you have in other areas of your life just disappears when it comes to alcohol?   For years, I carried so much shame about my drinking. I'd go to therapy and talk about everything else in my life, but never broach this topic. When I searched for answers online, everything pointed to the idea that some people are powerless over alcohol. That's why I'm excited to share something new with you on this episode.   Tune in this week to hear how you can submit your drinking questions directly to me, starting right now. Whether you're worried about cravings, excuses, other people's opinions, or feeling like it's too late to change, I'm here to help you see there's an answer that doesn't make YOU the problem.   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/448
