Today we have Maggie. She is 42 years old, from Switzerland, and she took her last drink on February 24th, 2024.   Sponsors for this episode include: Better Help – 10% off of your first month Café RE – the social app for sober people     Registration for our annual alcohol-free retreat in Bozeman is now open. From August 6th through 10th, we will be spending lots of time in nature, doing breathwork, a lakeside hangout, laser tag and more.   In October of this year, we are going to Peru!  There are still spots available for this 11-day 12-night journey throughout Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.   [02:43] Thoughts from Paul:   A question Paul hears and sees frequently is what to expect when we put the bottle down. He shares that the destruction of alcohol happens in three steps. First the spiritual component, then mental and finally physical. Healing tends to happen in the reverse order. There will be overlap and the transition is not quite linear, nor does the healing ever stop.   Paul expands on what to expect when healing begins and how it can look for our bodies and minds in the first week, month, six months to a year.   [12:06] Paul introduces Maggie:   Maggie is from Switzerland but lives in Hong Kong with her husband Chris and their four dogs. They enjoy spending time on the beach, stand up paddling and triathlons.  Professionally, Maggie was the head of IT in investment banking but has recently changed careers and now is an options equity trader.   Maggie says she had her first drink when she was 13 and instantly felt relief from her anxiety. During her teen years, she says she and her friends spent a lot of time going out to bars and she discovered clubbing and cocaine when she was 18.   Maggie did well in school and started working with hedge funds after graduating. She says the workdays ended at 4pm and everyone would go out to have drinks afterwards. Her drinking wasn't concerning to her at this point in time.   Maggie moved to Hong Kong when she was 24 and this is when she began to realize that she didn't have an off switch when it came to alcohol. Everyone else would be ready to go home and Maggie says she was just getting started.   From the age of 20 to around 30, Maggie says things got progressively worse. While everything looked successful and stable on the outside, inside she was falling apart. Maggie would compare herself with people that were worse off than her as a way to justify her drinking. Moderation entered the picture, and she would sign up for a lot of physical activities as a way to force herself to be sober.   Maggie moved to Singapore before COVID but then lost her job and was there for a year without her husband. That is when she went from binge drinking to daily drinking. Upon her return to Hong Kong, her husband told her she needed to go to AA.   After four years of stops and starts while trying to make AA work, Maggie knew she needed to try something different. Addicted to multiple substances, Maggie checked herself into rehab but relapsed as soon as she left. After her return to Hong Kong, Maggie tried another location where they used EMDR therapy which helped her find the root causes of her addiction issues.   Maggie was given Antabuse after leaving rehab and that has helped alcohol become a non-negotiable for her. In sobriety she learned that she couldn't return to her old job. She has made a career change that allows her to work less hours and find a new hobby creating and selling her art.   Maggie feels peaceful now. Her goals are to continue to do sports and be a better athlete, continue to travel and maintain her current peaceful lifestyle.   Maggie's parting piece of guidance: hang in there and you will eventually get there. Never give up and maybe also explore the root cause of what is causing the drinking in the first place.   Recovery Elevator This isn't a no to alcohol but a yes to a better life.

In this compelling episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly reconnects with Katie Lain, founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery, to explore the power of neuroscience-based strategies for changing your relationship with alcohol. Katie shares her personal recovery story and how the Sinclair Method, a treatment protocol that uses the medication naltrexone, gave her a new lease on life.This conversation goes beyond the medication to highlight the vital role of mindset, habit formation, and long-term commitment to behavior change. Molly and Katie discuss the real-world challenges people face in recovery, the importance of self-compassion, and how small, sustainable steps create the most lasting transformation.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How the Sinclair Method works and why it's effective for both binge and daily drinkersWhy medication is a support tool, not a standalone solutionThe mental space that opens up when cravings start to fadeThe average timeline to regain control and build a peaceful relationship with alcoholUnique challenges for binge drinkers, including compliance and thought patternsThe critical importance of mindset and identifying unconscious beliefsWhat to expect on the journey: setbacks, progress, and learning to keep goingWhy self-compassion and curiosity are non-negotiables for long-term changeKey Message: Naltrexone can be a powerful part of the journey, but it must be paired with thought work, intentional habit-building, and a willingness to take small steps forward—even after setbacks. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and both Molly and Katie emphasize that you don't have to wait until alcohol becomes a serious problem to start creating change.Resources Mentioned:Learn more about Thrive Alcohol Recovery: thrivealcoholrecovery.comKatie Lain on YouTube, Instagram, and other social platformsMolly's coaching programs and podcast archive: www.mollywatts.comLet's Connect:Website: www.mollywatts.comInstagram: @alcoholminimalistFacebook: Join the Alcohol Minimalists GroupLow 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.

Join the conversation in our community at https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community.  In this episode, Christy and Meade welcome back Pastor David Walters for an honest and theologically rich conversation on one of the most frequently asked questions among believers: Is drinking alcohol a sin? Together, they explore what the Bible actually says about alcohol—and just as importantly, why we ask the question in the first place.  Is it about seeking permission? Wanting to avoid conviction? Or genuinely desiring to obey God? Pastor David helps unpack the heart behind the question, reminding us that walking with Jesus is less about rule-following and more about relationship, wisdom, and surrender. Drawing from key scriptures—including Genesis, Psalms, Ephesians, Proverbs, Romans, and 1 Corinthians—this conversation touches on themes like purity, self-control, freedom, and the impact of our choices on others. Pastor David also addresses the difference between God's recorded voice (through Scripture) and His revelatory voice, and how we can tune our ears to both. This episode offers not just biblical insight, but also practical guidance for anyone who's evaluating their relationship with alcohol, wrestling with cultural messages, or simply wanting to hear God's voice more clearly in their everyday decisions. What You'll Learn in This Episode: What Scripture says—and doesn't say—about drinking alcohol The deeper motivations behind asking if something is a sin Why spiritual maturity requires discernment, not just rules How to tune into God's voice through Scripture and prayer The role of personal conviction, wisdom, and love for others in decision-making   Other Pastor David Episodes:  Episode 13: Did Jesus Drink Wine Or Not?  Episode 24: What is Shame?  Episode 51: Realigning with Core Values Episode 96: What does the Bible say about Moderation?

Today, we will discuss issues around moderation with Elle, the moderator for our Facebook group. If you'd like to join, search Murder Sheet Discussion Group on Facebook — just remember to follow the rules! We spoke with Elle about how moderators can help save true crime.In our new segment, True Crime Wave, we'll be talking about issues endemic to true crime. At its best, true crime offers the audience a way to learn about stories of crime, social issues, legal realities, and the real human beings at the heart of cases. It can be educational and compassionate and cathartic and thoughtful and incisive, and it can help raise awareness of cases. Good true crime can show case all kinds of different perspectives. It can center journalism, advocacy, legal analysis, investigative approaches, the experiences of survivors or victims' families, and more. That is all very good. But too often, we see true crime devolve. We have seen online mobs, harassment, conspiracy theories, ethics-washing, and more. True crime won't get better on its own. We think talking about these things will help.

Wladimir Putin wird Europa und die Nato zeitnah testen, davon sind Historiker Sönke Neitzel und Politologe Carlo Masala überzeugt. Auch das Wo und das Wie ist für die beiden Militärexperten bereits geklärt: Russische Soldaten könnten problemlos in die estnische Grenzstadt Narwa einmarschieren und sie besetzen. Und dann? Wie reagiert Deutschland? Europa? Die Nato? Wie überzeugt man Portugal, für eine kleine estnische Stadt in den Krieg zu ziehen?Die Stimmung im neuesten "ntv Salon" ist gedrückt, das Thema umso so wichtiger: Wie wahrscheinlich ist ein Angriff von Russland auf einen Nato-Staat? Wäre Deutschland darauf vorbereitet?Masala und Neitzel sind skeptisch. "Wir haben die Bundeswehr zum bewaffneten THW gemacht", sagen sie über die Entwicklung der vergangenen Jahrzehnte. Sie hinterfragen auch, ob die Regierungsparteien den Ernst der Lage verstanden haben: "Als ich gesehen habe, dass die SPD im Koalitionsvertrag einen freiwilligen Wehrdienst durchgesetzt hat, musste ich mich erst einmal ärztlich versorgen lassen", sagt Neitzel.Die Diagnose der Militärexperten ist eindeutig: Die deutsche Politik und die deutsche Gesellschaft drücken sich auch nach drei Jahren Krieg in der Ukraine vor der dringend notwendigen Debatte über die Absichten von Wladimir Putin und was es bedeutet, die Bundeswehr zu ertüchtigen: "Beim Soldatenberuf geht es letztlich ums Kämpfen, Töten und Sterben", sagen sie. Denn allen Unkenrufen zum Trotz enden Kriege eben nicht am Verhandlungstisch.Weitere Themen? Wie groß und gefährlich sind die Personalprobleme der Ukraine? Und warum stellt man manche Fragen besser einem Schimpansen?Der neue "ntv Salon" mit Carlo Masala, Politikwissenschaftler der Bundeswehr-Universität in München und Sönke Neitzel, Militärhistoriker der Universität Potsdam.Moderation?

224 - Moderation In Everything In this episode, I talk about a life lesson that's stuck with me since childhood: the importance of moderation. From Greek philosophy to personal experiences with family and faith, I unpack how “all things in moderation” has become a guiding principle in how I view the world and navigate life's ups and downs. We look at why extremes are so prevalent in today's culture—and how finding the middle ground might be the key to more peace, better health, and healthier relationships. Greek Roots of ModerationI share how my love for mythology evolved into an interest in philosophy, especially the ancient Greek idea that virtue lies between two extremes. From bravery to self-control, the Greeks saw moderation not as weakness, but as wisdom. The Real-World Impact of ExtremesThrough stories about my own family, I reflect on how living in extremes—whether it's drinking, spending, or judging others—can lead to breakdowns in relationships and self-destruction. Moderation in Emotional and Spiritual LifeDrawing on Stoic philosophers like Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, I explain how emotional balance is just as crucial. It's not about being emotionless, but being emotionally grounded. Finding the Middle in Modern LifeI touch on examples like food, exercise, and even how we treat others. It's not about giving up on enjoyment or discipline—it's about avoiding the burnout and blind spots that come with excess. Takeaways:The key message is simple but powerful: moderation leads to a more peaceful and effective life. We don't have to live in emotional chaos or rigid restraint. Whether it's how we eat, spend, love, or work, finding a balance helps us be more present and more authentic. This lesson shaped my path, and I hope it helps you think differently about how you approach the choices and rhythms in your own life. Try identifying one area where you might be going to an extreme, and explore what a more balanced path might look like. It's not about being perfect—it's about being intentional. https://startwithsmallsteps.com/224-moderation-in-everything/.

In this episode kicking off Alcohol Awareness Month, Molly Watts dives into the subtleties of emotional drinking, helping listeners uncover unconscious patterns and build emotional resilience to disrupt them. Drawing inspiration from an episode by Corinne Crabtree on emotional eating, Molly makes powerful parallels to alcohol habits many listeners may not even recognize as emotionally driven.What You'll Learn in This Episode:A clear definition of emotional drinking—and why it may not look like you expect.How seemingly harmless habits, like a nightly glass of wine, might actually reflect emotional needs.Why emotional drinking is more about mental load and reward beliefs than willpower.How subtle daily rituals become signals of self-worth and stress relief.The truth about shame cycles, secrecy, and the false binary of being either “good” or “bad” with alcohol.The connection between alcohol and emotional regulation, and how to begin shifting the cycle.Key Concepts Discussed:Emotional drinking doesn't require drama—if you're using alcohol to relax, cope, or mark the end of the day, emotions are involved.Emotional resilience is foundational—not just for changing your drinking, but also for improving your relationship with yourself.Common beliefs like “I deserve this” or “this is my time” are tied to deeper unmet needs.The parallels between secret eating and emotional drinking: both serve as a way to signal “I matter.”Mentioned in This Episode:Sunnyside App – A science-backed tool Molly recommends that focuses on:Pre-commitment and intention settingConscious interference through trackingPositive reinforcement with coaching support Try Sunnyside Free for 15 DaysLosing 100 Pounds with Corinne PodcastPowerful Quote:“If you're pouring a drink to shift emotional gears—whether to relax, reward, or disconnect—you are emotionally drinking.

"Moderation"...the great lie of the Laodicean Church. This message has been a long time coming. You are urged to remember the key of bible study: "Let God be true and every man a liar". In other words, when you see something in God's word that goes contrary to what you believe, you surrender your will to his word, not the other way around.

In this episode, Molly kicks off Alcohol Awareness Month by shining a light on five pervasive myths about alcohol that many people still believe—and why they matter. These aren't opinion-based takes or moralistic warnings. They're data-backed truths designed to help you reassess your relationship with alcohol through the lens of science, compassion, and practicality.Molly revisits commonly held beliefs like “red wine is good for your heart” and the idea that there's a universally “safe” level of drinking. She also unpacks the misconceptions surrounding alcohol dependence, the blurred line between moderate and excessive drinking, and why conscious choice—not unconscious habit—is the cornerstone of peaceful drinking.If you're someone who's been “justifying” your nightly pour with old headlines or fuzzy statistics, this episode is your call to reframe, recalibrate, and realign your drinking decisions with facts—not feelings.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The truth behind the red wine “heart health” narrativeWhy “moderate” drinking might not be as safe as you thinkWhat the data says about alcohol and disease riskThe reality that 9 out of 10 excessive drinkers are not alcohol dependentWhy the language we use around alcohol can keep us stuckHow science supports self-awareness over abstinence mandatesKey Quote: "It's not about shame or absolutes. It's about awareness, choice, and a willingness to meet yourself where you are—without pretending alcohol is something it's not." —Molly WattsMentioned in This Episode: Episode 111: Global Burden of DiseaseEpisode 31: Using Science to Guide Your Alcohol DecisionsAlcohol Truths 2023 (Free eBook)Breaking the Bottle Legacy (Book)Take It Further:→ Download the Alcohol Core Beliefs guide to uncover the unconscious thoughts keeping your drinking stuck. → For deeper change, explore the Making Peace with Alcohol 12-month coaching group program. Let's Connect: Website: www.mollywatts.com Instagram: @alcoholminimalist Facebook: Join the Alcohol Minimalists GroupLow 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 episode, Molly revisits one of the most important conversations around changing your relationship with alcohol—how shame can keep you stuck, and how to break free from the shame spiral.This episode is a spring break replay, and for good reason—it's one of Molly's favorites and a foundational message for anyone working to become an alcohol minimalist.In this episode, you'll learn:What shame really is and how it's different from guiltWhy shame is especially destructive for daily habit drinkersThe role shame played in Molly's personal journey with alcoholHow shame often masks itself as “powerlessness” and leads to hiding, isolation, and more drinkingWhy understanding your thoughts is the key to disrupting shameThree science-informed strategies to stop the shame spiral: Name it – acknowledging shame takes away its powerSelf-compassion – treating yourself like you'd treat a friendSeparate your thoughts from your identity – you are not your drinking behaviorYou'll also hear:A powerful quote from Brené Brown on the unspeakable nature of shameHow common narratives (like the AA concept of “powerlessness”) may unintentionally reinforce shameWhy living in the gains rather than the gap is essential for motivation and long-term changeTakeaway Message:Shame doesn't help you change. In fact, it keeps you stuck. The pathway to lasting transformation starts with understanding your thoughts, practicing self-compassion, and learning how to disrupt the automatic cycles that have been running your drinking habit.Resources Mentioned:Brené Brown's definition of shamePrevious episodes on “The Gap and The Gain” (Think Thursday episodes)Tools for becoming a better thinker and understanding your brainWant more support?Check out our programs at www.mollywatts.com or join our free Facebook group Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Drinking Habits.

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.
