This episode of 'In The Circle' with Tommy Rosen tackles this intriguing question through the eyes of Rebecca, who finds herself in a cycle of controlled drinking.

He challenges the traditional views on addiction and alcoholism, offering a fresh perspective that resonates with many who feel stuck in the grey area between moderate and heavy drinking. Rebecca's story is one of struggle and perseverance, illustrating the complexities of recovery without the dramatic life fallout often depicted in addiction narratives. Tommy offers insights into redefining what it means to reach a 'bottom', urging listeners to be honest with themselves about their relationship with alcohol.
He explores the idea that addiction can manifest in countless behaviours, not just substance abuse, and emphasises the importance of finding personal truth and freedom. Tommy's conversation with Rebecca is filled with encouragement and practical advice, such as the value of community support and spiritual practices like yoga and meditation. He paints a hopeful picture of recovery, where one can be free from the cravings and emotional ties to alcohol.
If you're curious about how to break free from alcohol's grip without feeling like your life is falling apart, this episode is a must-listen. It offers a compassionate look at the journey towards sobriety, challenging listeners to rethink their approach to addiction and recovery.
