Chris Hill on Beating Addiction: A Fresh Perspective from The Relaxback UK Show

If you remove the alcohol, you go back to your natural state of being, which is a high, and then you don't need it, and then your body can do what it's meant to do and you can live a much healthier lifestyle.
Ever wondered how to truly break free from addiction? In this episode of The Relaxback UK Show, host Mike Dilke sits down with Chris Hill, founder of Beat My Addiction, to shed light on the complexities of addiction and offer practical solutions. Chris shares eye-opening statistics, revealing that one in five people in the UK don't drink alcohol and that younger generations are seeking alternative ways to cope.
But it's not just about alcohol—addiction can manifest in various forms, often rooted in trauma. Chris emphasizes the importance of creating new, alcohol-free memories to rewire the brain's associations with drinking. He explains that our brains link alcohol with celebrations, commiserations, and everything in between, making it challenging to quit. However, by fostering new experiences that don't involve alcohol, individuals can start to break these deep-seated connections. The conversation also delves into the benefits of an alcohol-free lifestyle.
Chris points out that living without alcohol allows people to return to their natural state, which he describes as a 'high'. This natural high enables the body to function optimally, leading to a healthier life. He also touches on the fleeting relief that comes from drinking after a period of abstinence, highlighting that this temporary fix often makes quitting seem impossible. Listeners will find this episode both informative and hopeful.
Mike and Chris discuss actionable steps for overcoming addiction, the significance of creating new memories, and the advantages of living an alcohol-free life. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a fresh perspective on achieving sobriety.
