“Stress is just part of the alcohol con trick. And the truth is that every benefit we have ever imagined alcohol giving us it doesn’t. It is a drug, and it works the same way as all other drugs.

Many of my clients are doctors and nurses, and some are in the role of advisor for alcohol issues, and yet are themselves caught in the alcohol trap. This shows how endemic the problems are and how little is understood.

The great news here is that when you start waking up to the truth, you are beginning to get wise, and that gives you the power to get wiser still.”

Michaela Weaver is an alcohol coach.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “Stress: Is it time to expose the alcohol con?”
