Watching someone die from alcoholism is almost as bad as watching someone die from cancer, which both are a crap show. Cancer sucks, alcoholism sucks- everything that becomes addiction.
Ever wondered just how much damage alcohol can do to your body and mind? This episode of 'Everyday Addict' with Brian Ario takes you on a sobering journey through the complications of excessive drinking. Alcohol is a leading cause of death worldwide, contributing to about 2.8 million deaths each year. But what exactly happens when you drink too much?
Brian breaks it down, from how alcohol is processed in your stomach to its long-term effects on nutrient absorption and brain function. If you've ever struggled with strong cravings or felt out of control with your drinking, you're not alone. The episode sheds light on the symptoms of alcohol use disorder, including the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies it.
Brian emphasizes the importance of being honest and vulnerable when seeking help, and he doesn't shy away from discussing the harsh realities of chronic alcohol use, such as thiamine deficiency and acute pancreatitis. One particularly eye-opening segment delves into the controversial topic of wet houses for chronic alcoholics. Are they a compassionate solution or a controversial crutch?
Brian also explores various treatment options, including medications like ondansetron, and stresses the need to be open-minded and teachable in the journey to recovery. The episode is packed with raw, honest insights that will make you think twice about your relationship with alcohol.
As Brian poignantly puts it, 'Watching someone die from alcoholism is almost as bad as watching someone die from cancer - both are a crap show.' Tune in for an informative and heartfelt discussion that could change your life or the life of someone you love.
