The biggest challenge is your mind, you know, battle of the mind.
Ever wondered why quitting alcohol feels like an uphill battle? In this eye-opening episode of 'Sober Onions', Crystal Morrell sits down with Gill, a biochemist from Boston and the voice behind the Sober Powered Podcast. Gill's story is both raw and enlightening, as she opens up about her personal struggle with alcoholism and the mental health crises it triggered.
She dives deep into the science behind addiction, explaining how alcohol hijacks the brain's reward system, making it incredibly hard to break free. You'll hear about neurotransmitters like dopamine, GABA, and glutamate, and how their delicate balance gets thrown off by chronic drinking. But it's not all science talk; Gill shares practical advice on coping with cravings and triggers, emphasizing the crucial role of community support and accountability in recovery.
Whether it's through 12-step meetings, therapy, or just being honest with yourself and others, Gill highlights the importance of finding a support system that understands what you're going through. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or curious about the brain chemistry behind it. Tune in to discover how understanding the science can be a powerful tool in your journey to sobriety.
