See For Yourself

World-Renowned Addiction and Public Health Expert Karen Tyrell reveals the SHOCKING truth about working in a Category A prison, alcohol addiction, stigma, recovery, mental health, prevention, social support, and changing the conversation on drinking!

Karen Tyrell is the CEO of Drinkaware, a leading UK alcohol education charity focused on reducing alcohol harm through public awareness and support. With extensive experience as a frontline drug and alcohol worker, and deep knowledge of addiction and recovery, Karen is a passionate advocate for open dialogue about alcohol’s impact on health and society.

She explains: ◽️ The surprising reality of people in high-security prisons — most are “normal” individuals despite their crimes. ◽️ How stigma and fear stop people from talking about their drinking and seeking help. ◽️ Why early intervention can save lives and reduce immense social and health costs. ◽️ The myth that addiction is simply about willpower — it’s much more complex and personal. ◽️ The habit that sabotages health: ignoring the gradual impacts of alcohol on mental and physical well-being. ◽️ The rule that changed her perspective — it’s not about saving people, but supporting their own journey. ◽️ The Alcohol Harm Paradox: how drinking harms disproportionately disadvantaged communities. ◽️ The importance of shifting societal conversations to make moderate drinking aspirational and stigma-free.

If you want to understand addiction beyond stereotypes, learn the real challenges and successes of recovery, and rethink how we talk about alcohol in society, this episode is a must-listen!
