It's not about willpower, because I tried to quit so many times, I tried and failed on so many occasions using willpower, and it was only when I said I want that life over there more than I want this life I've got right now.
What if the key to overcoming alcohol addiction lies in understanding the mind? In this episode of 'Over The Influence', Craig Beck, famously known as the Stop Drinking Expert, joins hosts Sharon Hartley and Freddie Bennett to share his journey and insights. Craig, a bestselling author of 'Alcohol Lied To Me' and 'Alcohol Lied To Me Again', dives into the psychological aspects of addiction and the methods he used to break free from alcohol's grip.
Craig's story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about rewiring the brain's relationship with it. He discusses how addiction is less about willpower and more about the subconscious mind's craving for pleasure and reward. By understanding these psychological triggers, Craig believes anyone can reprogram their mind to overcome addiction. Sharon and Freddie also share their personal experiences with sobriety, making this episode a rich tapestry of stories and strategies.
They talk about the highs and lows of quitting alcohol, the impact on personal relationships, and the importance of self-care during recovery. The conversation doesn't shy away from the topic of moderation either. Craig offers his perspective on whether moderation can be a viable path for some, while stressing the importance of being honest with oneself about what truly works.
Whether you're sober curious, on a low-alcohol journey, or fully committed to an alcohol-free life, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Craig, Sharon, and Freddie provide a supportive voice for anyone looking to embrace sobriety and discover the myriad benefits it brings.
