Ep #218 - Let's go on an exploration of the profound effects of alcohol and drugs have on the brain, and the journey our minds undertake during the transformation towards sobriety.

We'll delve into how these substances manipulate neurotransmitters, leading to outcomes from brain fog and sleep disruption, to opioid-like effects and potential cognitive impairment.

Moving into the heart of our theme, we unpack the brain's reaction when alcohol is no longer present in the system. Together, we'll navigate the rebalance of neurotransmitters, the changes in the brain's reward system, and the array of physical and psychological symptoms that accompany this process - including Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS) and leave this segment on a hopeful note, highlighting the brain's remarkable healing capabilities and the path towards recovery.

To wrap things up, I explore the emotional rollercoaster that is early sobriety. I'll unravel the complexities of emotional instability caused by neurochemical imbalances, withdrawal symptoms, the removal of alcohol as a coping mechanism, and psychosocial stress.

No matter if you're on your personal journey to recovery or supporting someone else's, this episode promises to offer valuable insights and a dose of inspiration, underlining the strength inherent in every step towards sobriety.

Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.

It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN.

Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, head the call!
