All pathological bodily states have a tendency to lead, yes, force the person experiencing them away from the moral life.
What happens when chronic alcoholism takes over a person's moral compass? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Psychology of Alcoholism', George Barton Cutten dives into the unsettling effects of long-term alcohol abuse on an individual's sense of right and wrong. Cutten argues that chronic alcoholism doesn't just harm the body; it erodes the very fabric of a person's moral life.
With a focus on how alcohol impacts emotions and memory, he paints a vivid picture of how the struggle to stay sober becomes a losing battle for many. The episode explores the egotistical emotions left to those battling alcoholism, depicting them as trapped in a childlike state, struggling with feelings of obligation and moral decay. Cutten also connects alcoholism to crime, suicide, and sudden death, with a particular emphasis on its devastating impact in Scotland.
Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in understanding the profound effects of alcohol on the human psyche, this episode offers a deep dive into the moral and emotional turmoil caused by chronic alcoholism.
