Stoked to have Ben Schiller back in the studio to talk about the psychology behind alcohol dependency. Ben and I discuss whether or not all alcohol abuse in binge drinkers and daily drinkers is the result of underlying phycological issues or trauma. We cover attachment theory and how that results in the need to escape with alcohol. What happens in the brain when we drink and how change is possible.
To reach out to Ben you can contact him via www.benschillerpsychology.com.au

In this episode I chat with Melbourne father of two, Greg Jennings @boozefreedad who at the time of recording is 14 months in to his sobriety. Vulnerable, emotional and honest, Greg opens up about how alcohol was effecting his relationship and his children who were the catalyst for him deciding to give 12 months AF a go. Greg shares the tools he used before he had even started the journey and the strategies he had under his belt that not only got him through but also transformed him from the inside out.
A great listen especially for Dad's out there who might be questioning their relationship with alcohol.
In this episode Greg refers to the book The Resilience Project by Hugh van Cuylenburg and living by the GEM principles. For more on that go to

Lisa first dipped her two in the waters of sobriety 14 years ago. After a few different attempts and many rock bottom moments she one day had had enough. She used techniques such as tapping (EFT) and other forms of self-care to start her healing journey or self compassion and acceptance.
Lisa has also begun to write children's books which empower children and more on that if you contact her via Insta on @lisaslocks

In this episode I chat with one of my coaching clients Amanda Swart. Amanda is 90 days in to her sobriety (time of publishing) and has already had massive emotional and spiritual transformations.
She is owning her shit, she is more decisive, confident and is gaining a great appreciation for life and being present in each moment. She reads a note from her partner who has been witnessing the changes take place within her and explains how she is getting through day to day.
For anyone contemplating taking a break or for the sober curious this podcast really highlights the benefits and changes that can take place very early on if you are willing to do the work.
We also chat about the upcoming 3 months sober challenge we have starting on Jan 1-4, 2021.

This guest has lived a life. Derham "Norsca Love God" "Tutty" Tutton is probably one of the best story tellers I have ever come across.
In the midi 70's Derham was living at the top of his game in the modelling industry, he dated Elle Macpherson, lived with Andy Warhol for two weeks (before running for the hills), he was a pro surfer, top surf coach and partied hard to keep up with the boys in the surf scene . Drugs and Alcohol took hold and he slowly unravelled until he eventually ended up living in the sand dunes, estranged from his family. Derham entered rehab and has been sober 18 months.
Truthful, authentic and full of gratitude. I loved this chat.
With a new love, a love for himself and a passion for life, he is back surf coaching and living his best life.
If you want to reach out to "Tutty" he is happy to spin a yarn with anyone while coaching them in the water. He is happy for people to contact him on 0423255306.
If you are really struggling with daily drinking contact your local AA program.
Derham's rehab was through the Butter https://www.buttery.org.au/
