What if the most dangerous addictions aren't the ones we typically recognize, but the ones society actively celebrates? In this powerful exploration of cultural blind spots, Corey Berrier uncovers how alcohol and food function as socially acceptable escape mechanisms, allowing millions to numb their emotions while hiding behind identities like "wine mom" or "foodie."
The painful truth is that these common substances hijack our brains through the same dopamine pathways, creating cycles of dependency most people never acknowledge. Berrier shares his own journey through these addictions, revealing the mental gymnastics he used to justify his behaviors: "I earned this drink," "I'll start tomorrow," or "I can control this." But as he discovered, controlling something doesn't mean you're not addicted to it.
Beyond simply identifying the problem, Berrier offers a transformative perspective on breaking free. It's not about white-knuckling through cravings or exercising superhuman willpower. Real freedom comes through replacing numbing habits with regulation practices like breathwork, cold exposure, and movement. The goal isn't just abstinence but presence – building a life so fulfilling you don't need to escape from it. As Barrier notes, "Sobriety isn't just about not drinking. It's about being emotionally present with your partner, your kids, your work."
Whether you've questioned your relationship with food, alcohol, or any comfort-seeking behavior, this episode offers both compassionate understanding and practical steps forward. Take one small step today toward greater presence and discover what might be possible when you stop numbing and start truly living.
