If a sufficiently strong reason- ill health falling in love, change of environment or the warning of a doctor- becomes operative, this man can also stop or moderate, although he may find it difficult and troublesome and may even need medical attention.
What makes some people quit drinking while others struggle? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald tackles this crucial question by discussing the concept of having a 'sufficient reason'. Joe explains that while moderate drinkers might find it relatively easy to give up alcohol, hard drinkers often face a tougher battle.
However, when a hard drinker has a compelling reason—like deteriorating health, falling in love, or a stark warning from a doctor—they can find the strength to moderate or even stop drinking entirely. Joe shares his own journey with alcoholism, reflecting on the challenges he faced and the reasons that motivated him to quit. He also emphasizes the importance of listening to others' stories for inspiration and support.
If you're grappling with alcohol, or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into finding that powerful 'why' that can make all the difference.
