THIS IS THE AUDIO-ONLY PODCAST VERSION OF A VIDEO PREVIOUSLY UPLOADED TO THE BAT COUNTRY ALCOHOLISM & SOBRIETY YOUTUBE CHANNEL. 

This is a podcast about the big lies we tell in alcoholism. Not the small, common ones that everyone knows, but the giant, pointless, grandiose ones. Because I've seen it first hand, and that led me to realise that I was doing it too.

I was asked to talk about how to deal with the feelings of guilt and self-loathing in the very early stages of sobriety. 

My feeling is that you don't need a strategy to avoid those feelings, you need a strategy to live with them. 

Thank you to the question asker, I hope you're doing well today.

In this chilled storytime episode, I identify a moment in my youth when I knew I should have stopped drinking, and could have if I tried, and chose not to.

Do you have a similar experience? Leave it in the comments. And as always, good luck out there.

In this video, I share a very bad experience I had in Piccadilly Train Station as a result of my drinking, and try to explain why your drinking might be the same as mine even if you don't think it's as bad.

This podcast is for people who want to go to AA but are "put off by all the God stuff."

I'm an atheist, and AA has helped me in the past. So how did I make it work for me?

THIS IS THE AUDIO-ONLY PODCAST VERSION OF A VIDEO PREVIOUSLY UPLOADED TO THE BAT COUNTRY ALCOHOLISM AND SOBRIETY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

Buy the Just Crazy Enough To Work audiobook, the story of my descent into alcoholism, read by me: https://www.batcountry.co/product-page/audiobook-just-crazy-enough-to-work-stu-nugent

=======

In 1955, Dr. Harris Isbell published a medical paper entitled "An Experimental Study Of The Etiology of Rum Fits and Delirium Tremens." 

On the face of it, the report simply described an investigation into alcohol withdrawal. The findings still inform treatment for alcohol addiction today. 

But look beneath the surface, and you find a legacy of human experimentation, sinister medical institutions, and CIA money. 

Sounds like conspiracy theory nonsense, right? It isn't. And it's very scary.

This episode of Bat Country is a bit of a change of pace from the norm, and I'll be returning to the normal, more personal style videos now. But this was so interesting I just HAD to talk about it.

As always, good luck out there.
