    After listening to many sober supporting podcasts, How I Quit Alcohol was the perfect fit for me to finally quit the booze. Extremely informative and easy listening -despite touching on the harsh realities of substance abuse. The positive impact and lives saved from this podcast would be immeasurable. Well done Danni Carr!

392. Lessons Learned and Moving Forward with photographer Ian Laidlaw
Q: Why do you feel like you weren't okay with just being the quiet person?
Laidlaw says he had long presented as lively and outgoing, but felt isolated and feared standing out. Drinking helped him feel more like the people around him and quieted his thoughts.
394. Alcohol Addiction After Weight Loss Surgery with Ruby Williams
Q: What would you say for someone who has got rid of alcohol and they're on the journey to becoming alcohol free and then they are noticing that the alcohol craving is now being replaced by cravings for sugar or food. What would you say would be a great first step for them?
Williams recommends becoming curious about the patterns and needs behind the cravings, then mindfully observing the experience and its effects rather than responding automatically.
394. Alcohol Addiction After Weight Loss Surgery with Ruby Williams
Q: Can you tell us a bit about your journey? So your journey with alcohol, if I'm correct, didn't start until after you'd had your bariatric surgery. So can we talk?
Williams explains that she had worked in the wine industry for 20 years and had relied on food to cope before surgery. After bariatric surgery, alcohol hit her faster and more strongly, while eating was restricted, and her drinking escalated.
390. Creating an epic life with Ash Grunwald
Q: For people listening, if someone feels like they're just getting through the week, you know, they're struggling and finding life pretty hard. What's one small change that you'd encourage them to make?
Grunwald recommends daily journaling, such as writing gratitudes or affirmations, to help reconnect with positive practices and get back on track.
