Y is for You Can't Touch This: Tackling Abstinence, Relapse, and Moderation in Recovery

If you're an alcoholic, I would never recommend moderation. But I honestly think if you drink the way I drank, I wouldn't say try it in moderation because it'll fuck you up.
Ever wondered why some people swear by total abstinence while others find moderation works for them? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', the hosts dive into the tricky waters of abstinence, relapse, and moderation. They share their personal journeys and reflect on what has worked—or not—for them. It's a candid chat that underscores the idea that recovery is deeply personal and what fits one person might not suit another.
You'll hear about their experiences with both physical and mental health, as well as their complicated relationships with food and alcohol. The hosts also discuss the perks of being part of a support group and the importance of trusting the recovery process. They touch on cynicism and contrariness, emphasizing how crucial it is to be mindful of the tricks our brains can play on us. Wrapping up on a hopeful note, they remind us that 'we're all in this together'.
Whether you're grappling with alcoholism yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
