Episode Synopsis
AM I AN ALCOHOLIC?
Have you ever thought about the term 'alcoholic' and the heavy stigma it carries? Have you considered that there might be different shades to being addicted to alcohol, both physically and psychologically?
Get ready to dig deeper, as I unravel the intricacies of alcohol use disorder. I am not here to point fingers or make assumptions, but to guide you through a set of insightful questions that might prompt you to understand your relationship with alcohol better.
I’m not stopping at just understanding the problem, though. I discuss the fears associated with alcohol withdrawal, the looming risk of relapse, and the daunting challenge of lifelong abstinence. But I also present options that are not so black-and-white.
Have you ever heard of the Sinclair Method? It's a groundbreaking treatment that offers hope for moderation, reducing drinking, and managing cravings. In this candid conversation, I aim to dismantle harmful stigmas and open up new possibilities for those grappling with alcohol use disorder.
What You’ll Learn:
I discuss alcohol use disorder, addiction, stigma, and six questions to assess the drinking problem.
Provide insights into the nature of alcohol addiction, distinguishing between physical and psychological dependence and highlighting that there are no specific numerical criteria to define alcohol addiction.
Learn about signs of problematic alcohol consumption, such as worrying about running out of alcohol when going out and finding various excuses to drink for different emotions.
