In this engaging episode of the Relational Recovery Podcast, hosts Wes Thomson and Austin Hill dive into the complex world of alcohol addiction and recovery. Wes opens up about his own struggles with alcohol, describing his inability to stop drinking until he either ran out of alcohol or was thrown out of a bar. He shares his personal experiences of compulsive behaviour, not just with alcohol but also with sugar and other substances.
This candid conversation highlights the challenges of achieving both physical and mental sobriety. Even years into his recovery, Wes can still recognise when his mind starts to slip back into old patterns, emphasising that sobriety is an ongoing journey rather than a one-time achievement. The discussion also touches on the nature of addiction, questioning whether it is a disease or a habit.
Austin brings up various perspectives, including the idea that some people might be predisposed to addiction due to their compulsive temperament. This episode is not just about alcohol; it's about understanding the broader implications of addictive behaviours and how they can manifest in different aspects of life. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and reflections.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that might just change the way you view addiction and recovery.
