Coach Victoria English dives into the science and personal journey of alcohol recovery in this episode of the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle podcast. Tackling the challenging first 90 days, she breaks down why this period is crucial for long-term success. Victoria, affectionately known as Coach V, shares her own struggles with alcohol, making it clear that quitting isn't just about willpower but also about understanding how alcohol affects the brain. She emphasises the importance of community, coaching, and accountability in overcoming addiction.
Victoria explains that the brain needs at least 90 days to start healing and creating new neural pathways, a process that involves rewiring dopamine sources and regenerating white matter. These changes are vital for emotional regulation and reducing cravings. She highlights that many people fail to stay sober because they lack support and a structured plan. Project 90 offers a small, supportive community where members can share their experiences and progress.
By the end of the 90 days, participants often find they not only manage without alcohol but also enjoy a healthier, happier lifestyle. Victoria’s candid storytelling and scientific insights make this episode both engaging and informative. If you're considering quitting alcohol or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable advice and hope.
