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?
