When my brain says, hey, I need a sea breeze, I have a sea breeze, I'm not satiated. However, for the brain it's hard to differentiate the difference.
Ever felt like your stomach is playing tricks on you, making you crave a drink when you're actually just hungry? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, host Paul Churchill chats with Wynn, who has an impressive 28 years of sobriety under his belt. Wynn opens up about the fascinating relationship between food and alcohol cravings, offering a treasure trove of wisdom from his own journey.
The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into how our gut sends signals to eat and how these can be easily mistaken for alcohol cravings. Wynn explains that while food cravings are essential for survival, alcohol cravings are deceptive and never truly satisfying. They discuss how alcohol can trick your brain into thinking it will make you feel better, but in reality, it only leads to a vicious cycle of needing more.
Wynn shares personal anecdotes and practical tips on recognizing these false signals and staying on the path to sobriety. They also touch on the importance of self-reflection and admitting powerlessness over alcohol as crucial steps in recovery. If you're curious about how to distinguish between these cravings and want to hear from someone who’s been through it all, this episode is a must-listen.
