The most important thing that we've come out of this podcast is: you need to create you a doohickey, get your sponsor and start creating trigger doohickeys.
What if the key to overcoming alcohol addiction lies in understanding your triggers? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Now Sober's Back Porch Chats', hosts Vince and Jeanna dive deep into the mechanics of the drinking habit loop and its neurological underpinnings. They share personal stories and reflections on how familiar environments, people, or events can spark the urge to drink, often without conscious awareness.
Vince draws a fascinating comparison between the Natchez Trace, an ancient trail, and the ingrained paths of our habits, making complex concepts accessible and relatable. They explore why habits form, how impulses kickstart the habit process, and how trauma memories and pain act as powerful triggers. By breaking down Charles Duhigg’s model of cues, routines, and rewards, Vince and Jeanna offer practical advice on identifying and altering these patterns.
This episode is packed with insights on becoming more self-aware to pinpoint true triggers and emphasizes the importance of community support in maintaining sobriety. Whether you're battling addiction or want to support someone who is, this episode provides a supportive and enlightening perspective on breaking free from destructive habits.
