The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast

This week I'm talking about interrupting the urge cycle to undo your urge to overdrink.
There are multiple points inside the urge cycle that we need to learn to interrupt the process.
I'm talking about after the fact, before you start overdrinking at all and when you've started and have the option to stop "during the binge".
All of these are important in learning how to overdrink less.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:

Healthy men under 65:

No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.

Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:
No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.

One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.

Abstinence from alcohol
Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.

Benefits of “low-risk” drinking
Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work.

If you' are unsure about whether or not you have alcohol use disorder, please visit the NIAAA for more information.

This week on the podcast I'm sharing a guest episode I recorded with Michael Waite on the Brain Shaman podcast.
You can listen to more Brain Shaman here.

Lots of great information on alcohol and brain chemistry, the different areas of brain organization, and how to manage your mind to create a different relationship with alcohol.

This week on the podcast I'm talking about being mostly alcohol-free.  I share my own experience over the last four years as I've changed my drinking habits and the evolution of my relationship with alcohol.  The take-aways of being mostly alcohol-free? 

• I feel the benefits of being mostly AF and I DESIRE those results MORE than I desire alcohol
• Being mostly AF means that when I DO include alcohol in my life, it’s planned and it’s enjoyed.
• And this one is maybe the most important thing I have learned from being mostly AF…I’ve learned that it’s entirely possible.

This week on the podcast I'm talking about two important things: 
1) Understanding the difference between choosing to have a drink versus not have a drink--which is what most of us are focused on in the moment of choice but instead to focus on choosing to create desire for having the results of an alcohol minimalist life. 
2) I share the three biggest costs that my daily drinking habit cost me that I really didn't realize until I changed my relationship with alcohol.

• My daily drinking habit cost me POWER
• My daily drinking habit cost me MENTAL HEALTH
• My daily drinking habit cost me TIME

This week on the show I'm talking with author, therapist and recovery expert Amanda E. White all about her book, Not Drinking Tonight. 
After reading lots of different alcohol-related books as well as psychology books, I really love this book. It's got so many valuable tools and uses science to explain the brain as well as the science of alcohol.
As a therapist, Amanda is able to provide lots of insight into trauma and boundaries.

No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.

Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:
No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.

One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.

Abstinence from alcohol
Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.

Benefits of “low-risk” drinking
Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work.

If you' are unsure about whether or not you have alcohol use disorder, please visit the NIAAA for more information.

This week on the podcast I'm joined by fellow alcohol coach, Kathryn Elliott. Kathryn lives in Melbourne, Australia and on this episode she shares her story as a binge drinker who chose an alcohol-free life and six weeks after she did, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After successful treatment for cancer, she went on to become an alcohol coach and is dedicated to increasing awareness of the dangers of even moderate drinking for increased breast cancer risk.

This week on the show I'm joined by entrepreneur Aisha Chottani. Aisha is the founder of Moment, and adatogenic drink designed to help you gently reset and clear your mind. It’s a little like the feeling you get after coming back from a brisk walk or taking a few deep breaths. Renewed and ready to take on the world! Find clarity with L-theanine and reset with Ashwagandha. These natural adaptogens increase alpha brainwaves ... just like meditation.
We talk about the story behind why Aisha founded Moment, what it is and what they are doing to support mental health organizations.
