In this episode, I dive into the question so many of us have asked at some point: “Am I an alcoholic?”
It’s a loaded term, and one that caused me a lot of inner conflict in my own journey. I share why that label didn’t sit right with me and explore how medical professionals now use a spectrum approach to assess alcohol use disorder (AUD) instead.
I also introduce Dr. Sarah Wakeman’s “Four Cs” of addiction: Control, Compulsion, Consequences, and Cravings.
If you’ve ever felt conflicted about your drinking or unsure where you stand, this episode is for you.
Here are the highlights:
