When I finally accepted that I need to stop drinking forever, I wanted to understand why this happened to me.

Why did I develop a problem and other people don't?

Why did I develop anxiety? Why did my drinking make me feel suicidal?

And once I got some sober time, I wanted to understand why it was so hard for me to actually

stop when it was painfully obvious, had a problem and was incapable of

moderating my drinking. I have a bachelor's in chemistry and a master's in biology

so I started reading the scientific literature and educating myself.

Eight months later, I woke up one day and thought,

everyone needs to know this.

I had no idea how to start a podcast,

but I figured it out and launched later on that day. In the sober-powered

podcast, you'll learn why it's so hard for us to stop drinking, why alcohol makes us so miserable and

obsessive, and what contributes to someone developing a problem.

I'll use neuroscience, genetics, psychology, and my own personal experience to help you on your

journey. I hope this knowledge alleviates some of your shame and self-blame because that's what it's done for me.
