    There's tons of content out there about what to expect in the first year of sobriety. But what about the second year? Is there a difference? Do things change? Do they get better, or worse?

    All these questions answered, and whole bunch more that you you didn't even ask.

    Did you drink to fit in? I did. Or at least, I thought I did, until I started analysing exactly why I felt like I DIDN'T fit in.

    Good luck out there.

    This very weird episode asks whether or not alcoholic hallucinations are some sort of spiritual experience. And if they're not, then why do so many people from completely different backgrounds tend to all see the same things?

    Here's the paper: https://karger.com/psp/article/56/5/383/836125/Acute-Alcoholic-Hallucinosis-A-Review

    Good luck out there.

    In this video, I answer the question 'what is binge drinking?', tell you why we do it, and explain why it's so damn hard to stop.
