In this short standalone episode in this series on addiction, I talk about The 27 Club - what it is, and what lessons it has for not just anyone wanting to reclaim their lives from food, but to dismantle ANY addiction.

I present the two reasons that I think The 27 Club resonates with so many people, and talk about the myth of the external agent which is ruining your life.

How can we stop seeing Amy and Jimi and Kurt as victims and instead treat them as teachers when it comes to addiction and compulsion?

Next week we look at why some foods are so addictive.
