This is my final episode of Nobody Lessons. 

I've journeyed through alcohol addiction for many years, and now I've come out the other side. The struggle is over, and all that remains is a new life where I choose to no longer numb and escape. I'm facing the beauty and challenges of life head on. 

Thank you for listening over the past few months, and I'll keep you posted on any new podcasts that I put together a little further down the road.

I've experienced some really unexpected benefits as a result of not drinking alcohol. Everything from meeting the love of my life, to having clearer eyes, whiter teeth and a better relationship with my toilet!

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night after drinking alcohol, making a promise to yourself that you will not drink the next night, only to do exactly that!?

Well my friend, this episode is for you and your two brains. 

We are talking about something that has been termed cognitive dissonance, and this means our conscious mind is saying one thing, while our more powerful subconscious mind is saying another. 

Oh... and Merry Christmas :)

In a previous episode I fluffed over my lists for why I wanted to drink and why I din't want to drink. At that time I think I opted for giving more advice than anything else. So... here are my two lists. I'll read through both, and then unpack the reason to drink list.

We all have those weeks where we feel like the walls are coming down around us, and we just want to escape. What do you do? Do you find the escape hatch or do you sit with it and discover the hidden gems within? 

Today's episode is about my past week. I'm now 56  days alcohol free and I share with you what has come up for me and how I've managed to get through it without the need for a drink!

We know that alcohol is a sedative, that it's a substance that can numb, that can take the edge off, or lessen our pain - so what was I trying to numb? 

In today's episode I take you on a brief tour of my life and some of the parts that I felt needed to be numbed or dulled down. 

What started out as a very successful tool, didn't end that way. Alcohol not only numbs the pain, but numbs the joy as well.

In today's episode, I take a deeper dive into the dense topic that is... moderation. 

I will share with you some of my methods of madness, and how successful they were, and I'll do my best to explain what is going on in our unconscious mind, and why this makes moderation so difficult. 

Last but not least, I will walk you through how I ended up in an Emergency Room due to an epic fail of moderation!!

As the title suggests, this episode is about my recent experience at a 3 day work conference. Ordinarily, these events are drenched in late night drinking sessions, but this one was different. This was my first ever conference event  where I did not drink any alcohol. 

In addition to providing some of reflections on this, I also share an experience of mine with regards to a common trigger, that being tiredness. I share with you how I dealt with this.
