“Thank you for this podcast! Episode 254 summarizes the Truth about addiction to alcohol. I identified with so much of the content. I saved this episode to listen to again whenever my mind starts to forget about the Truth about alcohol and its effects.”

“This former gray area drinker loves the science behind our sobriety. In all sobriety’s stages. I wondered why I was SO exhausted for weeks after stopping alcohol use, and why I was anxious and couldn’t sleep early on in sobriety. . Now I know! I’m not one for sobriety stories of others, which...”Read full review »

“In a quiet, sweet voice Gill makes irrefutable arguments that problem drinkers will never be able to moderate and how alcoholic damages their brains, their ability to reason, and their bodies. She makes it clear that there is no quick escape, no substitute for those who have given up drinking....”Read full review »
