The Inner Voice That Keeps You Addicted

Are Friday nights your biggest trigger? After 45 years of drinking and 7 months sober, I’ve realised the sudden urge to drink comes down to two distinct forces hijacking your brain – I call them the "2 Bobs".

In this video, I break down exactly how to spot them, shut them up, and use neuroplasticity to rewire your brain for good. You aren't weak; you're just wired.

Understanding this mind game is the first step towards true habit change and sobriety.
