We start with words from a s Sober Club member who has seen the link with alcohol and mental health so clearly! My guest is Jennifer Bridgman who I met when I was speaking at the Hola Sober Gathering. She is a talented writer who shares her non linear journey to sobriety, and how writing helped her through a huge personal trauma. https://jenniferbridgman.com/ (apologies for the sound quality in some parts, we had an unstable connection) We discuss the power of therapeutic writing, and modalities like Family Constellations (Our next event is 24 Nov in Herts) Please join me too on one of my book tour dates – From Wham! to Woo – A Life on the mic is out in October, dates across the UK https://www.thesoberclub.com/from-wham-to-woo-book-tour-24/ Join us for Family Constellations Sun 24 October Herts https://www.thesoberclub.com/family-constellations/ New to Sobriety?

Connection is key! Come to one of the book tour events, say hi, join us for Constellations on Nov 24 and definitely book our xmas live podcast recording Mon 2nd Dec in London! EVENTS My guest is Meridee Hlokoff, the founder of LaserQuit, a unique effective treatment which can increase endorphin levels in your brain such as dopamine, serotonin, anandamide (bliss molecule) at higher levels that you can release with drugs, alcohol, nicotine or sugar. This means the brain is fooled into thinking it has already received the fix. Our addictions stem from our stomachs. The bugs eat whatever drug we feed them, send signals to your brain telling you how to feel - usually endorphins release when we’re poisoning ourselves and make you think you feel good... when we stop feeding them whatever drug it is, they begin to die... it takes 5 days for the bugs to die and the communication to stop. This is the constant nagging you hear when you try to stop. www.laserquittherapy.ca Please join me too on one of my book tour dates – From Wham! to Woo – A Life on the mic is out in October, dates across the UK https://www.thesoberclub.com/from-wham-to-woo-book-tour-24/ Join us for Family Constellations Sun 24 October Herts https://www.thesoberclub.com/family-constellations/ New to Sobriety?
