Understanding Alcoholism: Insights from Dan and Tara

But it doesn't have anything to do with willpower. Yeah, I mean I think that's, I think that's the most important takeaway.
Ever wondered what really defines alcoholism? Dan and Tara, the dynamic father-daughter duo behind 'Alcohol-isms: Dad. Daughter. Sober.', dive deep into this question in their latest episode. With decades of combined experience in both struggling with and overcoming alcohol addiction, they bring a wealth of personal stories and practical insights to the table. They discuss the physical and mental aspects of alcoholism, shedding light on the allergy and obsession that drive the addiction.
Their conversation also touches on how societal norms around drinking can obscure the signs of alcoholism, making it harder to recognize and address. Dispelling common myths, Dan and Tara make it clear that alcoholism isn't about weak willpower or moral failings—it's a disease that demands treatment and support. The episode wraps up with a lighter moment as Tara recounts a humorous yet poignant story about selling her family's clothes for booze money during her addiction.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about sobriety, those in recovery, or loved ones seeking to understand the complexities of alcoholism.
