A fallacy in our thinking: We picked up alcohol and put it to our mouth for 30 years. Therefore stopping requires the same thing.

The information about how dopamine works and is regulated in the body was life changing for me. I didn’t have a drinking problem and it helped me make the decision to let it go. I don’t have any desire to drink now that I know what it truly does to your body, soul, and dreams. I find myself tackling my fears head on since listening to SDC. It’s actually not half as bad as I thought it would be. Kinda silly, my coping mechanisms were way scarier than the problems. If you’re reading this, just tak... more
The Sept 3, 2026 episode was the first one I listened to and I couldn’t get more than halfway. it was recorded outside when he was out of breath. The wind and him catching his breath was so distracting I had to stop halfway thru. If you’re going to record a podcast, please do it inside and not after an interval run.
If you’re debating… LISTEN. This pod single handedly changed the course of my life. I began listening when I was sober curious… now I’m nearly 3 months sober (!!!) but I think what I like about this guy’s work is that I feel changed as a woman. How I see myself & the world has been changed forever beyond my relationship to alcohol/substances. I’m understanding myself, my impulses, and what lead me to addiction in the first place. It’s been addressing & understand the root that actually made my c... more
This is the best podcast on quitting drinking I’ve ever heard. I’ve never heard anyone explain the science and what’s happening in my brain this way. It all makes sense now. I haven’t had a drink since I started listening!!
I always feel like OK I’m ready for this guy to yell at me for a while, but it’s actually really helpful. The last episode about relationships I thought the content was really good. However, it was sexist and sort of homophobic.

A practical, neuroscience-forward program guiding people toward alcohol-free living through structured brain and nervous system retraining. Episodes emphasize that sobriety is a learned skill built with daily practices, habits, and a clear framework (NeuroRepatterning) to rewire dopamine dynamics, cravings, and identity. The host blends personal recovery stories with accessible science, coaching anecdotes, and actionable steps, often inviting listeners to join coaching programs for deeper transformation. A standout angle is the emphasis on upstream brain processes, prediction errors, and discomfort as a compass to progress, setting this show apart from traditional recovery talk and appealing to listeners who want a proactive, skill-based pa... more
