Breaking Free from Overindulgence with Duncan Bhaskaran Brown

I think you can look into all of the sort of stuff that society makes us believe, particularly around alcohol. It was a way of kind of distancing ourselves from each other and keeping that gap.
What if celebrating life didn't have to mean overindulging? In this episode of the 'Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast', host Mary Tilson sits down with Duncan Bhaskaran Brown, a man who spent two decades battling overindulgence before finding his way to freedom. Duncan shares his journey from being caught in a cycle of excess to becoming a beacon of hope for others.
He trained with the Easyway clinic, renowned for its success in helping people quit smoking, and now uses his expertise to guide others through their own struggles with addiction. One of the standout points in their conversation is the concept of celebration. Duncan suggests that our traditional ways of celebrating, often tied to substances like alcohol, can actually trap us in harmful patterns.
Instead, he advocates for 'drawing bright lines'—setting clear boundaries to redefine what celebration means in a healthier, more intentional way. The episode also tackles the myth of willpower. Duncan argues that willpower alone isn't enough to overcome addiction; we need to dig deeper into the emotional and psychological roots of our behaviors. This includes recognizing and addressing the inner critic that often sabotages our efforts.
Throughout their chat, Duncan offers practical advice on supporting loved ones who are struggling with addiction. He emphasizes the need for compassion and understanding, steering clear of judgment and criticism. If you're grappling with overindulgence or looking to support someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights and heartfelt advice. Tune in to hear Duncan's story and learn how to celebrate life without falling back into harmful habits.
