Is she saying that if we make addiction ok then people will thrive in their addiction and not suffer from the repercussions of the addiction?

12 years no alcohol. You guys can do it!

Drinking alcohol “for health” — what an absurd idea. Yet in many cultures, it’s still a holiday tradition.

Thank you, The Diary of a CEO, for this episode. It challenges what we’ve long accepted as “normal.”
We can and should rewrite our cultural code — starting with ourselves.
And most importantly, give our children a mindset that doesn’t glorify alcohol or other substances.

I drank a LOT at least the last 30yrs of my life and ended up stage 3 breast cancer. Not a SINGLE drink was worth the trauma and permanent disabilities from treatments iam left with now.

Her high pitching voice at the end of every 5 words and talking faster than a woodpecker, makes me actually having a glass of Vodka Martini.

If the liver stops everything to only focus on removing Alcohol from the body that tells you that it is not good for you in any amount. End of story except for no adicts who are actual adicts who convince themselves in any way to have a glass.

You’re losing your credibility. At this point, I’m unsubscribing. I know your audience has room temperature IQs, but I thought your whole thing was being better than that? This all stems from your recent thumbnails and “experts”. In the thumbnail, might I ask, who is “they”. See, there you go. Doing that “everything is a Joe Rogan conspiracy” bullshit. Anybody with a brain knows and understands alcohol is horrible. Who is “they”. Who is the “machine”. Have some integrity amongst a SEA of grifters. I really thought you were above the “algorithmic model” but you’re just apart of the problem.

“She’s a women so I don’t believe her “

Moderation. Distilled spirits are better than wine and beer.

Hard words there, valley girl

Based on the comments confirmation bias is real.

5 days sober and riding the struggle bus

They mean well I am sure! But apple pie maternal advice has been tried for probably hundreds of years plus without success. In fact bland logic can serve to drive the sufferer deeper into despair as the addiction finds its way around every platitude. Listen to other addicts for deeper insights. Oh….good luck with the BOOK.

A few(very few )people with alcohol abuse syndrome will successfully reduce intake by sensible reasoning about health. Yes, these are laudable goals but the point really is that the even more powerful demonic drive to binge crushes these “ sensible attempts” again and again and….. Many sufferers know all this better than you do. Logic does not reach or convince the demon that often. Is it fair or wise to offer this approach?

We r not ment to live for ever

Thank you both for making this content it touches a nerve with so many people, and it was all the more special because you both don’t have addictions ❤ appreciate that xx

I think many people have vices. There are people who smoke cigarettes people who become stoners people who like to drink people who game all day so idk it almost seems like you need to enjoy life a bit and not be such a stickler. Like just because you dont drink alcohol but you eat sugar and have other bad habits doesn't make you better. I'd argue someone who goes to the gym every day eats healthy and drinks every weekend is better then a sober person who sits on the couch all day.... so 😂 😂 😂

Please get Hilary Silver on your show.

Is it a movies convinced from Saudi side there a guy within alcohol 😂
Nice conversation Steve 😊

I’ve struggled with Alcohol addiction most my life. Thank you to this brave, intelligent, empathetic women sharing her knowledge 🙏🏼

<3

Thank Steven and Team for this. Can you please bring someone to talk about food addiction, eating disorders, overeating?

I don’t trust anyone from Harvard.

She talks far to fast .

Hey thank, I’m a functional raging alcoholic. I wish I would had heard this 20 years ago. Keep doing what you’re doing it’s good stuff. And I want to say things I learned here in combination with that dopamine expert you talked to will f’ with me every time I go up to the store

3 years sober. I quit after hearing Uberman’s podcast on the subject. Alcohol is the new cigarettes. People are really starting to understand how detrimental is to health. Thanks for bringing more awareness.

11 months sober, plan to do this forever! This episode is one of the best I've watched, great work DOAC team!!

I’m addicted to card making…

About 4 years away from alcohol.
Cannabis and caffeine have me in their grip, still.

It’s poison

You’ve lost yourself your way kid.

One thing not talked about is seed oils all oils except olive , avocado, and coconut oil.
Cause fatty liver ( previously only alcoholics got it) now children/teens have it.
Seed oils are posion, lard has no such effects.

I’m 2hrs sober of weed and 3 weeks from alcohol

This was good information about medicine for alcoholism with psychotherapy. I realize this will help some but also the way alcohol kills brain cells and you showed the 43 year old brain so deteriorated it’s like dementia, no wonder my brother had such trouble. He died at 54 from liver failure, the ammonia built up in his brain.

As a former (always) addict, this was beautiful to hear. Thank you

I have an addictive personality!! In my teens I binge read crime stories and learnt English from them. Then I got addictied to Steven's podcast!! Now i'm slowly getting addicted to working out 🎉

Thanks!

Most Drs know absolutely nothing about cancer and the cause. Seriously alcohol can cause issues in the body if abused. How many old aged people swear by drinking alcohol extended their life so this info is inaccurate.

It's almost like building a society that drives us to achieve more all the time, hustle culture, put a dollar value on everything, don't focus on taking care of each other, don't provide food for our children at school (it should be universal but especially the kids who need it) is a bad thing.

Eek, machine or crane operation while drinking. If anyone smelled alcohol on me at work I would get tested, if I blew anything on BAC i would get fired. 🤯

I don't think any addict would get from "I can manage my drinking" to "yeah I need to change" that quickly.

They’ve never told me different though…

“The opposite of addiction is not actually sobriety but connection” . . . So powerful to hear this, thank you both for this podcast and positive service to us struggling humans!

Cancer is on the rise but drinking is going substantially down. Correlation or causation?

Alcohol is a drug.

More people should see this.

Could it be that sugar because sugar can cause fatty liver disease that maybe that is why some people have more liver issues?

How harmful are popular SRIs and sleeping aids (Zolpiderm)?
