Liv Penelle on How Quitting Alcohol Helped Her Lose 50lbs Welcome to Episode # 70 of The Alcohol & Addiction Podcast the show designed to help you reduce the leverage that alcohol has in your life and your relationships. Liv Penelle is a former food, alcohol and drug addict who managed to turn her life around and create Liv’s Recovery Kitchen - a resource for people in recovery. Liv doesn't mess about.

In this podcast we talk about the role, our parents inadvertently play in our addictions, eating disorders, quitting alcohol, drugs and smoking, and how on earth she managed to drop 50lbs in the process.
