Basically, what makes an alcoholic an alcoholic first is the physical allergy, which means that if you put drugs or alcohol in your body, you can't necessarily control what's going to happen next as the disease progresses.
What really happens to your mind and body when you struggle with alcoholism? In this eye-opening episode of 'Learning to Lose', host Patrick Ridge teams up with guests Michaelis Jacoby, Tullis, and Sera Goldman to unravel the true meaning of alcoholism. This isn't just about the textbook definition; it's a deep dive into how alcoholism affects your mental and physical well-being.
You'll hear about the concept of alcoholism as a 'mind-powered disease' and what that really means for those battling it. The discussion touches on how alcoholism can stunt emotional growth, making individuals more self-centered and impatient. But it's not all doom and gloom. The guests highlight the power of self-awareness and the importance of spreading the message of recovery. They also emphasize the simplicity of identifying alcoholism and the consistent practices needed to maintain sobriety.
Whether you're struggling with alcoholism yourself or trying to understand it better for a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a candid conversation that could change the way you see this disease.
