  • One of the best podcasters.

    I have listened to dozens of alcohol podcasts shows and I think this is one of the very best. The episode with Aunee was so enlightening with some great ‘one-liners’ to take away. Thanks. Very much appreciated.

  • Food for thought

    So refreshing to find increasing challenge out there to the religious dogma of AA. Not criticising anyone who finds that the abstinence model works for them but the reality is that there are millions of drinkers out there who ought to cut down but will never give up; healthy, nuanced, grown-up discussion and reflection about mindful drinking and moderation is much needed and most welcome.

  • Worth your time over a glass or two (or otherwise)

    Given the strength of our society’s relationship with alcohol it’s well worth pausing to think about the trade offs. This discussion was informative and accessible. The host is engaging and clearly an expert in the field.

The psychology of alcohol use and addiction with Prof. Roy Baumeister
Q: What do you think is the most pressing issue to address in terms of addiction?
We need to address structural factors that drive addiction alongside individual strategies for self-control and restraint.
The psychology of alcohol use and addiction with Prof. Roy Baumeister
Q: How do you see guilt functioning in relation to addiction?
Guilt, when it works properly, prevents individuals from repeating destructive behaviors. Its absence can lead to a failure of self-regulation and indulgence in harmful patterns.

Q: What do you think are the most important psychological mechanisms for why people develop problems with alcohol?
Most people use alcohol without issues, but at the extreme, some people face serious problems due to various factors, including social context and personal motivations.

I'm a social psychologist, that means we study normal adult human behaviour.
In conversation with Aunee Bhogaita
Q: What was the moment when it finally clicked that she needed to change?
Aunee had a moment of realization, sitting at a dining table, contemplating her life and deciding she didn't want to be remembered for her addiction.
