Breaking Free from Alcohol Dependency with Hamza Najam of BreatheSober

Episode Title: Breaking Free from Alcohol Dependency with Hamza Najam of BreatheSober

Episode Description:
In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Linda’s Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we welcome Hamza Najam, founder and head coach of BreatheSober, as he shares his incredible journey of overcoming alcohol dependency—not through willpower alone, but through rewiring the nervous system with breathwork.

Hamza opens up about how his relationship with alcohol started off manageable, then spiraled into nightly drinking, weight gain, self-loathing, and the painful cycle of trying and failing to quit. Like so many, he believed he could stop whenever he wanted… until he actually tried. That’s when the real battle began.

But everything changed when he discovered mindfulness and breathwork. Inspired by the science-based teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza, Hamza learned that the root of alcohol dependency isn’t alcohol—it’s the nervous system. Through breathwork, he was able to reset his system, rewire his subconscious mind, and finally find the peace and freedom he had been seeking.

Key Takeaways from this Episode:

• Alcohol isn’t the real problem—your nervous system is.
  
  
• You don’t need more willpower—you need to rewire your brain.
  
  
• The third day of quitting alcohol is the hardest because it takes 72 hours for the body to metabolize it completely.
  
  
• Most people use alcohol to escape uncomfortable emotions—but healing begins when you’re willing to feel them.
  
  
• Breathwork can give you the same “feel better” effects without the harm.
  
  
• You are capable of living a joyful, free, and authentic life—one breath at a time.
  
  

Quote from Hamza:
"Alcohol lowers your vibration and kills brain cells. Breathwork lifts your vibration and fills you with light."
