About this listen

 Ever found yourself wondering, “Why me?” Why can’t I drink like other people? Did I inherit this? If I’d made different choices, would it have turned out differently? If these questions have kept you up at night, you’re not alone — and this episode is your answer. Inside, I’m breaking down the real, full-picture WHY behind alcohol addiction — not in vague theories or shame-based clichés, but with a powerful, science-backed model that makes everything finally make sense: the Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Addiction. We’re going deeper than “you drink too much.” We’re unpacking what drove you to seek relief in the first place — and how you can finally start to untangle the layers keeping you stuck. If you’ve ever felt confused, exhausted, or like sobriety still isn’t working the way you hoped — this episode is your wake-up call. In this episode, you’ll learn: The truth about addiction: why it’s not just genetics, trauma, or stress — it’s the collision of all three. What most people get completely wrong when trying to stop drinking Why “just quitting” isn’t enough — and what to do instead The exact factors that make some people more vulnerable (and how to take your power back anyway) The one thing I tell every client about where to start when recovery feels overwhelming 🎧 Ready to finally understand your drinking — and start rebuilding from clarity, not confusion?
