In this episode Tabbin explores the complexities of breaking free from alcohol. She delves into the common struggles faced by those who know the negative effects of drinking yet find themselves unable to stop.
Tabbin emphasises that the issue is not a lack of willpower or discipline, but a deeper disconnect between knowledge and action.

Throughout the episode, she encourages listeners to look beyond the surface of their drinking habits to uncover the underlying feelings that drive their behaviour.
As she introduces her new course, "Escaping Alcohol," Tabbin outlines a structured approach to understanding both the facts about alcohol and the personal insights necessary for lasting change.
