Die Tage von Ajatollah Ali Chamenei an der Spitze des Iran scheinen gezählt. Israels Verteidigungsminister Israel Katz betont, Chamenei dürfe "nicht weiter existieren". US-Präsident Donald Trump sagt, er wisse, wo sich Chamenei aufhalte. Aus seinem Bunker traut sich Irans oberster Führer nicht mehr raus. Hinter den Kulissen plant der 86-Jährige längst seine Nachfolge.Moderation? Kevin SchulteSie haben Fragen? Schreiben Sie eine E-Mail an podcasts@ntv.deSie möchten "Wieder was gelernt" unterstützen?

Today we have Natalie. She is 55 years old from Palmdale, CA and took her last drink on June 4th, 2023.   This episode brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Café RE – THE social app for sober people   [02:28] Thoughts from Paul:   This week's intro is about acceptance. We may wish we were a little bit taller, we may wish we were a baller, and we may wish that alcohol wasn't marketed as being good for us when it's a class one carcinogen. We may also wish that we could drink normally, but many of us cannot.   The thing about acceptance is that it is not about giving up, it's about waking up to the fact that that's just the way it is. When we finally stop wishing against reality and stop bleeding energy into a fantasy world of how things should be then we can start working with what actually is.   Acceptance is not about admitting defeat or giving up, it is acknowledging the truth which doesn't care about your feelings, but it will set you free.   When you accept that alcohol isn't your friend and that you can't drink normally, that's not rock bottom, that's solid ground and something real to stand on. Life isn't waiting for you to figure out how to drink responsibly. It's waiting for you to square your shoulders and start accepting that you're exactly where you are right now.   [07:36] Paul introduces Natalie:   Natalie is 55 years old and lives in Palmdale, CA. She says her most important job is being a mom to her autistic 15-year-old son. She enjoys spending time and going on adventures with him. Recently she has started volunteer work at a food bank and being of service in AA.   Natalie didn't enjoy alcohol when she first tried it and says that she was mostly a social drinker for many years. In her mid-30's, she sought help with her sleep issues. She was prescribed Ambien and really liked the idea that she could take something and check out quickly. Over time it progressed to where she was drinking and taking the drug. Natalie began to rely on Ambien more and more as she travelled frequently for work.   Life got very stressful for Natalie after her son turned two and they realized he didn't have speech. That began a year of doctors, assessments and therapy and her reliance increased. Natalie would doctor shop to try and get more of the drug and resorted to her ordering it online and getting mass quantities in order to feed her habit.   Natalie started attending NA and after she had about 60 days, she received the diagnosis that her son was autistic.   When the COVID lockdown happened, she realized that she would have a hard time getting Ambien and she says that she changed from being an addict to an alcoholic. Natalie quickly became a daily drinker, often starting in the mornings. After her son was able to return to school, Natalie began a routine of dropping him off and then getting and drinking two bottles of wine before passing out until it was time to pick him up.   Moderation was something Natalie struggled with. Her husband we getting increasingly upset with her and she would make attempts for a few days to cut back. Her husband, who is a normal drinker, ended up quitting to try and help her make the decision to quit as well.   After a rock bottom trip in Las Vegas, Natalie decided it was time to quit. She found an AA meeting that she could attend right after dropping her son off at school. Natalie started attending daily and got a sponsor. She feels her relationships with family and friends has improved and even just day to day interactions with strangers are better.   Natalie says “when you leave the rooms of AA, there are people that you will never meet and that you do not know that will be better off for you having been in a meeting that morning. That their day and their life is actually better because you took care of yourself in that way.”       Recovery Elevator Rule 22. Let's lighten up and not take ourselves too seriously.

Das Verhältnis zwischen Russland und Nordkorea könnte derzeit besser nicht sein. Diktator Kim Jong-un schickt Raketen und Soldaten zur Unterstützung der russischen Invasoren-Armee in die Ukraine. Autokraten-Kumpel Wladimir Putin lässt wieder Züge nach Nordkorea fahren und Post über die Grenze fliegen - und hat möglicherweise sogar beim Wiederaufbau von Kims Kriegsschiff geholfen.Moderation?

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 ★

This week, our focus returns to the equine diet.Whether you are supporting overall health or addressing a particular issue in a horse, it always starts with their food. That often means identifying and removing dietary intolerances or introducing an anti-inflammatory or alkaline diet. Since each horse has a unique constitution, their diets must be individualized to support their specific sensitivities.Fresh Fruits and Vegetables for HorsesOffer a variety of fresh produce like melons, shredded beets, cucumbers, watermelon rind, apples, blueberries, and carrots. Chop them into small pieces for easy eating, and avoid feeding large amounts of stringy celery to horses with dental issues or a history of choking.Using Cauliflower and Other VeggiesMany horses enjoy nibbling on cauliflower occasionally. However, you should only feed it in small amounts since large quantities can cause gas. Always observe how your horse reacts to new foods and adjust accordingly.Incorporating HerbsAdd herbs (chamomile, mint, raspberry leaf, chickweed, plantain, and milk thistle) to salads or treats. Herbs provide added health benefits, especially raspberry leaf for mares and other reproductive support. Let your horse explore different herbs to see what they prefer.Preparing and Serving SaladsMake fresh horse salads once or twice a week, using any available clean or organic produce. If using non-organic items, wash them thoroughly. For picky eaters, introduce one ingredient at a time or mix new foods into their regular mash to help them adjust.Enrichment Through ForagingScatter chopped fruits, veggies, and herbs around the pasture to encourage natural foraging and gentle exercise. This “Easter egg hunt” approach is stimulating and rewarding for your horse.Enhancing FlavorSome horses enjoy a splash of apple cider vinegar or a little olive oil as a salad dressing. Experiment with small amounts to find what your horse likes best.Benefits of Fresh Salads for HorsesFeeding horses fresh salads regularly promotes better overall health, shinier coats, improved hoof condition, reduced inflammation, and more contentment. Fresh, live nutrients support the cells and tissues naturally.Moderation and Variety Are KeyAvoid feeding too much of any single ingredient. Provide a varied mix to allow your horse to enjoy different flavors and nutrients without overindulging in one thing, and always pay attention to its preferences and sensitivities.Tips for Horses with Specific ConditionsAvoid or chop stringy vegetables like celery finely for horses with dental problems or a history of choking. Salads and fresh foods can be particularly helpful for horses managing metabolic issues (EMS) by providing live nutrients without excess sugars or fats. Introducing fresh produce gradually and mixing it with regular feed helps sensitive horses adapt. Feeding a variety of herbs and fresh foods can support inflammation reduction, hoof health, and hormone balance, especially for mares. Always observe how your horse tolerates new foods and adjust accordingly.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my email list to be notified about new podcast releases and upcoming webinars.Free Webinar Masterclass: Four Steps to Solving Equine Metabolic Syndrome Naturally

Is moderation even possible—or are you just setting yourself up for disappointment? In this week's episode of 90 Days Later, I'm breaking down the truth about moderation, why it works for some and not others, and how to know if it's the right path for you. Spoiler: it's not about being “good enough” to control your drinking—it's about understanding why you want to, and building self-trust from the inside out. We'll talk about what moderation really takes, the mindset shifts that make it easier, and why some clients eventually choose to leave alcohol behind altogether—on their own terms.Whether you're cutting back, taking a break, or somewhere in the messy middle, this episode will remind you that your journey doesn't have to look like anyone else's. You don't need a crisis to make a change. You just need a willingness to listen to that quiet voice that says, “This isn't working anymore.”

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 ★

In this insightful Think Thursday episode, Molly dives into the surprising power of novelty and how it can support meaningful behavior change. While consistency remains a cornerstone of habit transformation, Molly explores how introducing small shifts in your routine can re-engage the brain, disrupt unhelpful patterns, and open new pathways for intentional living—especially during seasonal transitions like summer.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why novelty activates the brain's dopaminergic reward system and what that means for motivation and attention.How neuroplasticity supports lasting change—and why new experiences help strengthen it.The paradox of the brain craving both efficiency and stimulation, and how you can work with this tension to support your goals.Why seasonal changes, like summer, naturally disrupt routines and how that disruption can become a tool for habit change.Key Takeaways:Shift Your Sensory Cues Change what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. Rearrange a workspace, change your walking route, or experiment with new mocktails. Novel sensory input breaks habitual patterns and opens the door to mindfulness.Run Mini Experiments Instead of overhauling everything, try low-pressure, short-term changes like replacing your evening drink with a new non-alcoholic option for a few days. Observe how it feels rather than focusing on outcomes.Leverage Seasonal Disruption Use the natural shifts of summer—lighter evenings, altered schedules, and more outdoor time—to gently reframe routines and rewrite old stories connected to alcohol.Mentioned in This Episode:Dr. Andrew Huberman on novelty and neuroplasticityDr. Wendy Wood's work on habit change and context shiftsMolly's “dopamine-driving” summer playlist Final Thoughts: Novelty doesn't have to mean a complete transformation. Often, the smallest shifts provide the greatest openings for change. Use this summer as your mini reinvention lab—a season to experiment with new patterns, and to gently interrupt the old narratives that no longer serve you. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us a textIn this episode, we talk to Prof. Roy Baumeister about the psychology of alcohol use and addiction. We cover topics such as why people drink, the effects of alcohol, the role of emotions such as guilt, and how self-control works. Prof Baumeister is one of the most eminent living psychologists with over 40 books and 700 scientific publications.

In South Carolina in the 1850s, an enslaved woman named Rose gives a simple cotton bag to her daughter Ashley. Ashley is about to be separated from her mother, sold as chattel to the highest bidder. The bag contains all her worldly possessions, and precious reminders about her family.From Harvard historian and National Book Award-winning author Tiya Miles comes All That She Carried. Blending first-class historical research and literary creativity, Miles' book traces Ashley's Sack through the ages, and with it, the story of a Black family during slavery, and of a people and a nation.This conversation took place at Het Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam om June 17, 2024.

Episode Summary: We're officially halfway through the year, and today's episode is your invitation to pause, check in, and realign. If you're feeling like you've drifted from your intentions around alcohol—or life in general—this isn't about judgment. It's about awareness. Molly introduces a powerful, science-informed tool called the PEACE Self-Audit to guide your mid-year reflection and help you gently reassess where you are and where you want to go.This episode ties back to a recent Think Thursday episode on values alignment and burnout, highlighting how the gap between our professed and practiced values can impact our emotional and physical well-being. Through five thoughtful prompts—Progress, Emotions, Alignment, Consistency, and Expectations—you'll reconnect with your goals and reclaim your power to move forward with peace.What You'll Learn:Why the midpoint of the year is a psychologically powerful time to reflectThe meaning of cognitive dissonance and how it shows up in our habitsHow to use emotions as data instead of judgmentWhy values alignment is essential for lasting change (including a callback to a Think Thursday episode)How habit science supports small, consistent actions over big overhaulsThe difference between expectations rooted in growth vs. shameReferenced Framework: PEACE Self-AuditP – Progress: Recognizing small wins and the “Progress Principle” (Dr. Teresa Amabile)E – Emotions: Understanding emotional states as behavior signals (Dr. Marc Brackett, Yale)A – Alignment: Exploring congruence between values and behavior (Self-Determination Theory)C – Consistency: Anchoring change in repetition, not perfection (Dr. BJ Fogg, Charles Duhigg)E – Expectations: Shifting mindset around what success looks like (Dr. Carol Dweck)Mentioned In This Episode:Download the PEACE Self-Audit PDFThink Thursday episode: “Why Burnout Lives in the Gap Between Your Professed & Practiced Values”Sunnyside App – Start your 15-day free trialResources for Continued Support:Making Peace with Alcohol Group CoachingIf this episode resonated with you, share it with someone you love.

This Sunday, Terrence continued in our series titled “Controversial Christianity”, addressing the topics of modesty and moderation within the Christian life. The message challenges believers to submit every area of life to Jesus, not out of legalism, but out of love, maturity, and commitment to holiness. Modesty and moderation are controversial, not necessarily in culture, but within the church due to a decline in discipleship and pursuit of holiness. The Christian call isn't to earn grace, but to abide in it through intentional, Spirit-led transformation. Terrence's message balances challenge with compassion, acknowledging past church wounds while calling for renewed pursuit of holiness through love, not legalism. “He must increase, but I must decrease.” - John 3:30 This short but powerful statement encapsulates the heartbeat of Christian discipleship. Whether we're talking about sexuality, personal behavior, finances, or lifestyle, the ultimate aim is for Christ to be magnified in every aspect of our lives, and for our self-centered impulses to surrender to His will. While the statement itself may not sound controversial, living it out certainly is—because it challenges our desire for self-elevation, comfort, and control. Discipleship isn't just about belief—it's about transformation, and that transformation requires wrestling with hard truths and inviting Jesus into every hidden corner of our lives. Scriptural Foundation: 2 Peter 1:1–10 This passage calls believers to supplement their faith with a list of virtues (goodness, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, affection, and love). Peter urges Christians to confirm their calling by living fruitful, purposeful lives. These virtues aren't just moral checklists—they're evidence of a life rooted in Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Peter's letter was written to help the church persevere—first against persecution, and later against false teaching and spiritual laziness. His words are a reminder: we already have everything we need to live godly lives. The Holy Spirit, God's Word, the community of faith—these are tools at our disposal. Now it's on us to build the house—to add rooms of character, virtue, and maturity onto the foundation of faith. Ask the Holy Spirit daily: “Where, God?” – Where are you calling me to grow? He closes with a prayer by Saint Augustine, asking the Holy Spirit to breathe into every area of life and draw us deeper into God's holy purposes. “Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, to love what is holy.”

In this short and powerful Think Thursday episode, Molly explores a feeling we all face—discomfort—and why it's so often misunderstood. Rather than being a sign that something's gone wrong, discomfort is often evidence that change is happening.Through the lens of neuroscience and personal insight, you'll learn why your lower brain instinctively resists unfamiliar experiences, how to engage your higher brain to override outdated fear responses, and why discomfort is a natural and even necessary part of learning and growth.You'll Learn:Why the lower brain (your survival brain) misinterprets discomfort as dangerHow the motivational triad (seek pleasure, avoid pain, conserve energy) works against growthWhat Dr. Andrew Huberman says about friction and neuroplasticityWhy Dr. Jo Boaler's research shows that struggle is the best signal of brain developmentA simple mindset shift: how curiosity builds resilienceKey Quote: “Discomfort isn't a red flag. It's a signal to stay curious. It means your brain is being asked to grow. And while your lower brain might resist, your higher brain is ready.”Referenced Experts:Dr. Andrew Huberman – Neuroscientist, Stanford UniversityDr. Jo Boaler – Author of Limitless Mind, Stanford UniversityResources Mentioned:Listen to my conversation with Dr. Jo BoalerJoin the Community: Looking for more support in changing your habits and building peace with your mind and choices?

In this powerful episode of The Period Whisperer, I'm joined by Colleen Freeland Kachmann, also known as The Hangover Whisperer and the founder of Emotional Sobriety Coaching. Colleen, an Intuitive Drinking Coach and host of the globally top-ranked It's Not About the Alcohol podcast, dives deep into how women in perimenopause can regain control over their alcohol consumption without relying on the traditional "all or nothing" mindset.With over 20 years of personal experience, Colleen discovered that the key to drinking in moderation isn't about willpower—it's about understanding the root cause of why you drink and reprogramming your mind and body to prefer moderation. We explore how stress, emotional triggers, and hormonal changes play a role in drinking patterns during perimenopause and how to create lasting, healthy habits that align with your lifestyle.Key Takeaways:

In this episode, Ash and Dusty explore the complexities of moderation for people with ADHD. They discuss how impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and black-and-white thinking often make it difficult to moderate behaviors such as alcohol consumption, nicotine use, marijuana, and internet usage. Ash shares personal experiences and insights about managing these challenges, emphasizing the importance of building awareness and connecting to positive motivations rather than striving for perfection or all-or-nothing approaches. Dusty highlights the slow and gradual nature of behavior change and stresses the value of multiple small tools and interventions that can help people stay on track even when self-discipline feels elusive. The hosts also touch on practical strategies, like switching from cocktails to bottled beer to improve memory retention and reduce negative aftereffects, using apps that create a pause before impulsive internet use, and structuring marijuana use to support productivity rather than hinder it. They advocate for accepting moderation as a sustainable lifestyle shift rather than a quick fix or drastic overhaul. The episode concludes with encouragement to embrace incremental progress and patience, recognizing that setbacks are part of the process.
