Sinopse

Joy took her last drink on July 12, 2014.  This is her story. Update on the Alcohol is Sh!t book!  Launch date, September 7, 2019, is less than a month away!  On today’s episode Paul talks about the phrase ‘spontaneous sobriety’.  What is it?  What does it mean?  Spontaneous sobriety means quitting drinking without any formal treatment such as rehab, inpatient treatment, or out-patient treatment.  12-step programs are not formal treatment due to the fact you can go when you want, work with, or without, a sponsor, and there is not a formal way to work the steps.  The majority of people get sober without formal help.  According to the NESARC about 50% of all people that recovered from alcohol dependence did so completely on their own.  So how does one spontaneously ditch the booze?  The listen to their body, read books, listen to podcasts, attend 12-step meetings, read blogs, talk to their therapist, join online recovery groups (like CaféRE), etc.…  You talk about it; you burn the ships.  SHOW NOTES   [10:40] P
