The podcast is all about tackling life's challenges head-on, without the gloss or glamour. Dion shares his own experiences with alcohol addiction, shedding light on the complex relationship between alcohol and mental health.
The episode dives into discussions from 'The Doctor's Opinion', a pivotal piece in the world of Alcoholics Anonymous literature. Dion explores the concept of moral psychology and its importance for those struggling with alcoholism. He touches on the necessity of physical recovery from alcohol addiction before psychological healing can truly begin.

With a blend of humour and heartfelt honesty, Dion addresses the misconceptions surrounding addiction recovery, including the idea that alcoholics can simply stop drinking if they wish.

For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a raw and real perspective on the journey to sobriety. It's not just about quitting alcohol; it's about rebuilding lives and finding strength in vulnerability.
