When it comes to taking that first drink of alcohol, most of us don't expect to get hooked. After all, consuming alcohol is legal and seen as a socially-acceptable way to unwind. However, It's so easy to depend on that nightly cocktail, beer or glass of wine to relax at the end of the day, unwittingly heading into gray area drinking, a slippery slope toward alcoholism. In this episode, Host Gail Ferguson Jones speaks with Meg Geisewite, author of "Intoxicating Lies. One Woman's Journey to Freedom from Gray Area Drinking." She shares how she slipped from normalized drinking to full-blown dependency.

When loving someone struggling with addiction, it's often hard to see the best in them because of the chaos and confusion they bring into our lives. The situation may also bring out the worst in us. But Dr. Robert Weiss offers a different perspective on such troubling relationships, which he talks about with host Gail Ferguson Jones. Dr. Rob, a licensed therapist for nearly 30 years, has coined the term Prodependence, an approach which encourages loving support for addicts, which he says is preferrable to detachment from them and their problem. He is Chief Clinical Officer of the Seeking Integrity Treatment program, and author of 11 books, including, "Prodependence. Beyond the Myth of Codependency." He recommends these important steps to help loved ones heal and cope: Don't go it alone. Seek help. Find a source of support. Don't ignore your own self-care.

One of the most disheartening and confusing aspects of a relationship with someone in active addiction is the loneliness and emotional disconnect. In this episode, Host Gail Ferguson Jones speaks with Marriage and Family Therapist Travis Thompson about the challenges of loving a partner engaged in a "chemical affair" with drugs and alcohol. Travis, author of "To Those Left Behind. Helping Partners and Families Understand and Heal from Addiction," describes alcohol and drug abuse as an emotional affair. He says users tend to engage more with substances than with their partners, just as they might if having an adulterous affair. "It's safer to drink alcohol than to talk to someone," Travis says. "It's emotionally safer to use heroin than to tell your wife if you're ok or not."

There's been a steady climb in addictions since the start of the pandemic in 2020, according to Recovery Coach and Best-Selling Author David Essel, who said studies show alcohol consumption has risen 1,000 percent over the past three years. While alcoholism tops the list of addictions, porn and sex addictions are a close second, said Essel, who through his coaching program offers permanent solutions to all types of addiction. "Video game addiction is out of control," he says, noting a direct link between video games and social media to attention deficit among younger generations. In this conversation with host Gail Ferguson Jones, Essel says that all addictions offer escape and distraction from reality and every day concerns.

After a lifetime of casual attitudes toward substance use among baby boomers, their rate of accidential overdoses and alcohol-related deaths are climbing. In this conversation, researcher Alexis Kuerbis explains why. Kuerbis is an Associate Professor at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. Her research speciality is vlunerable polulations who use substances problematically. In this conversation with Host Gail Ferguson Jones, she explains that: Baby boomers are using drugs and alcohol longer into later life than previous generations. Misuse of prescription drugs for pain and other ailments is a growing trend among seniors, leading to addiction later in life, and sometimes accidental overdoses from drug interactions. Physical changes that make it harder to metabolize substances as people age are a leading cause of chronic illness and co-morbidity among older adults. Alcohol is the most widely-used and socially-acceptable substance and a common killer. It is also often a factor in the development of dementia. Seniors who recognize they have a problem with substance use usually respond well to treatment. She shares the signs families may look for to determine if an older loved one is indulging in risky substance use and how to strike up a conversation that could lead them to agree to treatment.

Did you know marijuana use is a growing cause of suicide among teens? Guest Laura Stack of Johnny's Ambassadors says as more state's legalize recreational use, the potency is reaching dangerous levels and leading to serious mental health issues, especially among youth. Stack's son, Johnny, was an honor student with a promising future who suffered a mental break from marijuana use that led to his suicide. In her conversation with Host Gail Ferguson Jones, Laura explains that: Contrary to popular belief, marijuana is more likely to cause anxiety and emotional distress than to calm or cure it Dispensaries in Colorado, the first state to legalize recreational use, are legally required to provide written warnings of the mental and emotional dangers. The cannabis being sold at dispensaries is often processed into "dabs" or "crystalline," which increases the potency to dangerous levels. The American Psychiatric Association is warning that there is no mental or emotional condition that is helped by marijuana use.

Host Gail Ferguson Jones talks with Sans Bar owner Chris Marshall about the growing Sober Curious Movement. Sans Bar in Austin, Texas is believed to be the first in the U.S. to serve only non-alcoholic cocktails, wines and beers. The Sober Curious trend was the impetus for such establishments with the spread of the global observance of Dry January and Dry October, aimed at encouraging drinkers to examine their relationship with alcohol. After 10 years of sobriety, Chris missed the chance to socialize without the temptation of alcohol, and founded Sans Bar, realizing there were many others in recovery who would also appreciate the chance for social interaction in a sober environment. "What most people want is not alcohol," he says, "it's connection." Sans Bar also hosts alcohol-free events around the country.

Buttrfly Effect podcast

Host Gail Ferguson Jones talks with Clinical Psychologist Barry Weinhold, who has coined the phrase "counter-dependence," which he describes as living a false self that keeps one from establishing intimate relationships. Weinhold is the author of more than 75 books, the latest of which is titled "Get Real. The Hazard of Living Out of Your False Self." He and his wife, Janae, are co-directors of the Colorado Institute for Conflict Resolution and Creative Leadership. In this episode, Weinhold discusses how counter-dependence, also described as radical self-reliance, is the inability to establish healthy relationships and, if untreated, leads to addiction, isolation and depression.
