E238: Why Moderation Doesn’t Work

Moderation is impossible. If you can’t moderate, then you’ll never be able to. Some people can moderate with rules and intense focus, but that’s not real moderation. In this episode I’ll explain why we can never be cured, what’s going on in the brain, and hopefully help you accept that you drink the way you drink and that’s it.
What to listen to next:
E204: can anyone get addicted to alcohol?
E150: 15 moderation strategies I tried to control my drinking
