Today’s episode I answer your questions. Thank you for sending in your questions. Please continue to send in questions for future podcast episodes. You can email me directly at [email protected] 

 

Your Questions Answered: 

  • Marijuana vs. alcohol. Both addictive and harmful? Is one more addicting than the other? 
  • Is addiction to any substance alcohol or drugs heredity? 
  • What are strategies to push back against Big Alcohol? What can we take from the demise of Big Tobacco? 
  • Why does one’s relationship with alcohol change over time - from fun and social to lonely and habitual? 
  • Why does alcohol affect people differently (whereas my spouse can have 1 or 2 every few weeks no problem, I could never have just 1 and have tendency toward problem drinking)? 
  • Is there a difference between people who get addicted to alcohol out of habit, or coping badly to a life circumstance or self-medicating due to underlying issues (like anxiety) vs the people talked about in the “Big Book,” described as having a “mental obsession combined with a physical allergy?” The people that mostly, from the start of putting alcohol in their bodies, have issue? 
  • How long does it take a couple of glasses of wine per night drinker (no daily hangovers) to get past that desire of wanting to have it nightly? When does it get easier? 
  • How do I take a break when I can never seem to get myself into the mindset of a fully committed?
