Looking forward to reading Laura’s new book!

What about when people lie to you and try to get you to commit suicide?

I’m currently 2 months away from being 2 years sober and this podcast has been a real life saver💯 . Go back to the start and listen to them all it’s a community that helped me during covid when there was no physical meetings!

first guy I listen to is same age as me .. needed the msg thanks

One of the best episodes yet :)

Wonder years guy is Joe Cocker, not Walsh.

Hey Paul, great podcast. I'm early in my sobriety of 3 months. Your podcast has helped me confirm and commit to my sobriety. Thanks for allowing me to listen and learn. Keep up the great work. Ben

Paul, your podcast has helped me immensely. Please keep going.

Amy died of alcohol poisoning after binge drinking vodka after a spell of sobriety. Very sad

Odette started to talk about how once she hit the 6 month mark, it got harder, she went back to the behavior she knew and that is when she slipped. I wish she could have expanded more on that. I really related to her. I too have had an eating disorder and NEVER connected the two until now. I now see when I was drinking I would skip meals and drink instead because of the calories. I had 6 months sober and then I slipped, I am recently climbing back up. But during 4-5 months I had shifted my focus and was counting calories using MyFitness Pal. Going back to something I could control. Wow! What an eye opening episode!!

Love this podcast Paul : ) Thank you. Caz x

Hi Paul,None of these drugs are stand alone treatments,but can be a useful tool to have in your sober armoury . Campral does help with cravings, as when someone has drunk excessively the neurotransmitter glutamate becomes dampened down, and when drinking is stopped, it gets excited again, and it's this excitability which causes cravings . The Campral reduces the excitability of the glutamate. The neurotransmitter taurine which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter becomes more activated by Campral. The combination of these 2 factors reduces cravings. The Campral helps to redress the balance in the brain. I'm a registered psych nurse, and I've seen it work very well. I myself, have been on it for 8 days and finding it very helpful. I do alot of reading about addiction and recovery, plus I'm a moderator on a fantastic support network called New Day For Me. Please do Google it. It's important to have multiple strategies. I live on the Gold Coast in Australia. I have only just found your podcasts and am enjoying them very much. Thanks for all your work : ) Caz

I enjoyed this one so much

I dont know why but I really like this one

The tube mentioned, jonas who is that?

The most heartfelt feelings for you and the struggle. I'm so glad you are both alive to share this powerful experience.

I can highly relate to Amy

love this podcast. learned so much. x

I love hearing how full the hearts become

I am a chemical dependency councilor in the regional justice system. I love the organic feel your podcasts bring. Being new to my field of buisness these give me insight. You have great humor and thats so important in recovery. Thank you.

In the intro you wrote Bill shares her story.

Thank you for sharing. I have someone in my life challenged with alcoholism and everything you both have shared touched my reality so many times. I think it's so important to be open and share experiences and struggles to help each other.

But I guess it ok to pay thousands of dollars in rehab costs. Your membership fees are way more cost effective. Sorry for the trolling. Keep the faith.

Seriously, if you’re really abusing alcohol “awareness” isn’t going to stop you.

Thank you for sharing your story! I love you and am so proud of you Fran!

Love this so young and switched on

Thank you

Highly recommended for those in recovery.

Great podcast! I can relate to so much!

As a person who has been affected by another's drinking, this is really helpful and powerful reminders.

I just heard my story! Thanks

Thanks for help keeping me sober today. "Follow the drunk"... I like that tool.

I feel like I am listening to myself! Thank you.
