W is for What's Your Poison: Unpacking the Myths of 'Better Drinking'

And were we ever sitting on a fucking dirty couch watching? Yeah, it's, I think too, like you said, when you talk about the mindset and when you talk about the series of decisions and actions that would lead me to either buying a bottle of hood river vodka or a bottle of Ron's, a cup of rum.
Ever thought you could outsmart your drinking habits by justifying a 'better' way to drink? In this engaging episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', hosts John and Jerry take a candid look at the mental gymnastics we perform to convince ourselves that we can control our drinking. They share their personal stories about the drinks they once loved and the elaborate justifications they concocted to keep alcohol in their lives.
From negotiating with themselves to trying to set rules, they reveal how these tactics inevitably led them back to the same destructive patterns. This episode isn't just about the drinks; it's about the mindset behind them. John and Jerry delve into how sobriety has brought them better lives, despite the tough moments. They discuss how navigating hard times becomes more manageable without the crutch of alcohol.
It's an eye-opening conversation for anyone who has ever tried to rationalize their drinking habits or is curious about the journey towards sobriety. Tune in for a mix of humor, raw honesty, and valuable insights that could change the way you think about drinking.
