Understanding the Three Types of Drinkers: A Heartfelt Discussion

What makes someone a moderate drinker, a heavy drinker, or a 'real' alcoholic? This episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' offers a deep dive into these distinctions as outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Host Monty Dale Meyer, joined by co-hosts Eve and Bruce, welcomes Brent Cook to share his personal insights and experiences.
Brent, a former board member of Take 12 Radio and a family member of an alcoholic, provides a touching perspective on what it's like to love someone battling addiction. The episode also serves as a tribute to Timothy Scott Cook, who passed away sober just months after the original broadcast. This conversation not only sheds light on the complexities of different drinking behaviors but also highlights the emotional toll on families.
Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the nuances of alcoholism, this episode offers valuable perspectives and heartfelt stories that resonate deeply.
