Alcohol and Depression

Not Drinking (Alcohol) Today Podcast

Have you ever reached for a glass of wine to wash away the blues, only to find the weight of the world heavier on your shoulders? It's a story many of us know all too well. In our latest chat, Meg unravels the intricate ties between alcohol and depression, making sense of how this coping mechanism can backfire and deepen our struggles with mental health. We don't just skim the surface; our conversation dives into the physiological disruptions caused by alcohol, how it shifts the body's equilibrium, and the way it can foster an insidious cycle of dependency and sadness. Drawing on the compelling insights from William Porter's "Alcohol Explained" and our own life lessons, we share a picture that is both informative and deeply personal.
Transitioning from awareness to action, we pivot to talk about the transformative journey towards sobriety. We discuss the profound impact that a solid support system and the guiding hand of a coach can have for those seeking a life free from alcohol's grip. Whether you're just considering a break from the bottle or are in the midst of your sobriety journey, our conversation offers a beacon of hope and practical resources. Join us, not just as voices in your headphones, but as allies ready to walk with you towards a brighter, healthier future.
