Chronic Shame & Alcohol with Sally Smith

Alcohol Minimalist: Change Your Drinking Habits!

This week on the podcast I'm joined by Sally Smith. Sally is a London based psychotherapist supporting people with personal development and she is also a fitness trainer and body transformation coach running her 8 week SHRED program both online and in person 4 times a year.

I've had the opportunity to work with Sally personally and our messages aligned so much that I thought it would be valuable for us to share this conversation.

Listen in as we dive into topics like chronic shame, trauma and how these often lead to alcohol misuse.

Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:

Healthy men under 65:

No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.

Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:
No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.

One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.

Abstinence from alcohol
Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.

Benefits of “low-risk” drinking
Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work.
