Imagine battling not just one, but two powerful addictions. Dr. Vera Tarman, a specialist in addiction behavior and treatment, shares her compelling story on this episode of Tribe Sober. Growing up with an alcoholic mother who passed away when she was just 15, Vera vowed never to drink. But life had other plans. By 19, she had swapped drugs for alcohol, and soon, the bottle had a firm grip on her life.
When Vera finally managed to quit drinking, she found herself facing a new challenge: food addiction. Her weight skyrocketed to 250lbs, and she realized that her relationship with food was just as destructive as her relationship with alcohol had been. In this candid conversation, Vera opens up about her difficult childhood, the promises she broke to herself, and the journey to reclaiming her life. Dr. Vera also dives into the science behind addiction, drawing parallels between food and alcohol dependencies.
She discusses the often-overlooked impact of alcohol on sleep and its alarming link to cancer. Her insights are not just theoretical; they are grounded in her personal battles and professional expertise. Listeners will find practical advice on seeking help and the importance of a supportive community. Vera’s story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of support systems.
Whether you’re struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical strategies for change.
