When you get sober and you're like I did it, let's go like ready for my pink cloud, ready for all of this amazing stuff, and then you know you get some good stuff, but there's a lot of bad stuff that just kind of hangs out too.
Gill Tietz, a biochemist and the voice behind the 'Sober Powered' podcast, takes the spotlight in this episode of 'Addiction Talk'. Gill's journey with alcohol began at 18, but it wasn't until grad school that drinking became a regular part of her life. In a culture where drinking with lab colleagues seemed normal, she found herself slipping into daily drinking, frequent blackouts, and showing up to work hungover. By 2019, she decided enough was enough and quit drinking.
Gill then dedicated herself to understanding how alcohol affects the brain and leads to addiction. Today, she uses her scientific background and personal experience to educate others through her podcast and social media platforms. In her conversation on 'Addiction Talk', Gill discusses the normalization of workplace drinking, the link between depression and alcohol use, and how suicidal thoughts can intertwine with addiction. She also shares practical tools for managing triggers and reshaping negative thoughts.
Gill's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about using knowledge and experience to help others navigate their own paths to sobriety. Tune in for an episode filled with hope, understanding, and practical advice for anyone grappling with addiction.
