In this episode I catch up with the host of Sober Powered Podcast, Gillian Tietz. Gill is a bio chemist and also runs programs for anger management and quitting drinking. Getting sober she uses her biochemistry background to teach others how alcohol affects the brain and why it’s so hard to stop drinking. She is a chemistry professor at a university in Boston.

In this episode we hear about Gill's struggles with body image, being bullied at school and then a late entry into to alcohol abuse that spiralled out of control very quickly. From massive binges and blakcouts and feeling completely to changing her life completely.

We also talk about dopamine and how it works as a driver for our behaviours.

If you are struggling with physical dependancy on alcohol consider contacting a local AA meeting or a drug and alcohol therapist. Always consult a GP before stopping alcohol.
