Hey Friends,

Thanks for downloading the podcast! My name is Arlina and I’ll be your host. 

Before we jump in I have a big announcement to share with you:

If you are new to the idea of living an alcohol-free lifestyle or know someone who is, (we’re calling it “Sober Curious” these days) I’m launching a new class called “Sobriety Reset-How to stop drinking for 30 Days” to help you get that first month under your belt. What I want you to know is that you CAN stop drinking - Even through the holidays! You don’t have to have another crappy holiday because you did something you regret on what is supposed to be a special event.

The idea behind Sobriety Reset comes from my own torturous experience in my early 20’s when I knew drinking was a problem, but I wasn’t ready for a 12 step program. It’s what I wish I had at the time to save myself the shame and humiliation that comes from drinking too much. At the time, I really didn’t think I was “That Bad” but my life was a mess, romantically, professionally, and even in my friendships, and I just couldn’t figure out how to get a grip on my drinking. I spent 2 painful years suffering through my own research before I finally got what I needed, so my hope is that this course will be a short cut through that process for you and save you from needless heartache and suffering.

This is a self-study course with videos, audios, worksheets, and online support, that you can use in the privacy of your own home. It answers big questions like “Am I an alcoholic” and “What will I do for fun” or “How to avoid drinking triggers” and even those embarrassing questions around “Sober Sex”, which is a really big issue. There’s 6 modules in total and some bonus content too. 

It launches Nov 24th, so head on over to SobrietyReset.com to get notified of when it’s available, and if you do, there will be a special surprise for you! 

Today my guest is Dr. Efosa Air. He’s got more degrees than a thermometer, and such a passion for helping people out of suffering. I felt so lucky that I got to spend some time with him. He shares some really powerful stories, insights into the mechanics of the brain as it relates to addiction, and many practical solutions to common problems people face early in recovery.

He is very accessible and relatable, so don’t be shy! If you would like to connect, you can find him through his website at addictionblueprint.com and Facebook Group. I’ll leave links in the show notes, so head on over to odaatchat.com to get in touch.

So with that, please enjoy this episode with Dr. Air!
