In this solo episode, Danni explores the critical relationship between stress and alcohol use, particularly in the context of recovery and relapse. She delves into the neuroscience behind stress responses, the impact of alcohol on emotional regulation, and the importance of building resilience through mindfulness and self-care practices. Danni emphasises that while alcohol may seem like a quick fix for stress, it ultimately exacerbates the problem, leading to a cycle of dependency and emotional dysregulation. She offers practical strategies for managing stress without alcohol, highlighting the significance of awareness, support, and healthy coping mechanisms.
