I understand addiction and I think I had a form of addiction. What I struggle with is this: I don't know whether you'd call it the disease model or this binary aspect to it, where you are either an addict or you're not, when, in fact, I think we're all on a kind of a continuum.
What happens when a well-known journalist takes a hard look at his drinking habits? In this episode of 'The Wagon', Finty Williams and John McKeown sit down with Adrian Chiles to explore his evolving relationship with alcohol. Since the release of his candid documentary 'Drinkers Like Me', Chiles has been on a journey of self-discovery, questioning what addiction means and how it manifests in everyday life.
Recorded remotely in May 2020, this conversation is both timely and timeless, touching on how the lockdown affected drinking patterns and the various alternative therapies available for those seeking change. Chiles offers a refreshingly honest take on the benefits of reducing alcohol intake and the importance of seeking help early. He challenges the traditional binary view of addiction, suggesting that we are all somewhere on a continuum.
His insights are not just about cutting down on alcohol but also about the broader implications of honesty and self-awareness in recovery. Whether you're curious about the nuances of addiction or looking for inspiration to make a change, this episode provides a compassionate and thought-provoking perspective. Tune in for a conversation that is as engaging as it is enlightening.
