“Your approach speaks to me. Your tough love is exactly how I needed to hear the message. I’ve stopped making excuses and see alcohol for what it really is, attractively packaged poison (love that). I consider myself a fairly clean eating individual. I would NEVER go to a fast food restaurant and eat a bacon cheese burger, french fries and a milkshake, EVER!! However, I would go home every evening and at 5o’clock enjoy my red wine and end up polishing off at least a half bottle if not an entire bottle or more in an evening, everyday for longer than i can remember (I’m 60) I would also use all the excuses I heard you use, I never drink during the day, I would quit drinking for a few weeks just to prove that I could, and I drank alone, A LOT!! I even convinced myself that since I am such a clean eater, any bad effects from the alcohol would be wiped away. I’m a month sober and listen to you and other podcasts CONSTANTLY, just to keep the message in my head and not let my ego conscience get a word in edge wise. I purchased your book, “Alcohol Lied To Me” (perfect title) it sickens me that we have let marketing brainwash us. Even though I am not far in to my sobriety, with so many feelings of freedom and empowerment, I am NOT naive to the fact that this is only going to get harder before it gets easier. Doing great so far, thanks to you and many others out there with so much great information. Information IS power and I intend to use it!! Thank you , thank you, thank you!!!”
