After they have succumbed to the desire again, as so many do, and the phenomenon of craving develops, they pass through the well-known stages of a spree emerging remorseful, with a firm resolution not to drink again.
Ever wondered why cravings can feel so overpowering? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald sheds light on the mysterious nature of cravings and the journey towards recovery. Drawing from the foundational text of Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe explores the experiences of those battling alcoholism and the intense physical cravings that come with it. He questions what it truly takes to overcome these urges and emphasizes the necessity of a profound psychological shift for genuine recovery.
Joe also discusses the risks of socializing with others who drink heavily and how it can be particularly challenging for someone struggling with alcoholism. But there's a silver lining—many have found their way to sobriety, as documented in the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous'. This episode isn't just about understanding cravings; it's about finding hope and believing in the possibility of a life free from alcohol's grip.
