Alcohol is a big bloody liar... It promises all this stuff and really, it's just a very clever pickpocket. It's taking all of the good stuff in your life while you're not looking and smiling at you saying, I'll give you this.
Imagine trading the buzz of alcohol for the thrill of conquering a mountain. In this episode of 'The Sober Effect', hosts Kate and Steph sit down with Johnny, a self-development coach who embarked on an epic climb that changed his life. Johnny describes the mountain as 'just stood there being bad', but the journey to its peak brought him a sense of freedom and a natural dopamine rush that lingered long after the descent.
This conversation dives into how alcohol affects our brain's dopamine levels and explores healthier, sustainable ways to achieve joy and satisfaction. Kate and Steph, both ex-drinkers themselves, guide the discussion with empathy and insight, drawing on their own experiences and Johnny's transformative story. They tackle the psychology behind alcohol dependence and emphasize the importance of self-awareness in the recovery journey.
Whether you're in the early stages of sobriety or looking for new ways to maintain it, this episode offers practical advice and inspiration. Tune in to discover how you can find true freedom and lasting happiness without relying on artificial highs.
