Unmasking the raw truth of addiction, join us on a riveting journey with Gillian Tietz, MS, who shares her decade-long battle with alcohol and his triumphant journey to recovery. The conversation takes a candid turn when Gillian opens up about her late introduction to alcohol at 22 and her ensuing daily drinking habit that led to a five-year-long futile attempt to moderate her consumption.
Gillian brings to light the struggles she faced on her path to sobriety, including the wrath of pent-up anger and emotional disruption and the indispensable role of seeking guidance and finding a support system among fellow recoverers. We delve into the physiological and neurological changes that one experiences in the first 90 days of sobriety, encompassing physical advancements and increased mental clarity. The long-term healing process of the brain post quitting alcohol, known as PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome), and potential triggers leading to relapses form an integral part of our discussion.
In the final leg of our engaging dialogue, we contemplate a phase where your brain is healing post-alcohol and the role of neuroplasticity in choosing different pathways away from alcohol. Giliian underscores the significance of self-honesty, practicing positive reinforcement, and physical exercise as a coping mechanism. The conversation concludes with an emphasis on the merits of sobriety and the vitality of addressing issues promptly. This episode is a candid lens for anyone grappling with addiction or intrigued about the recovery process.

Hoode Blackout Tattoo. The Final Reveal in Part 2!
In this video, I show my trip to Philadelphia to visit the black vulture gallery. A tattoo shop that is known for its blackwork. Hoode is a tattoo artist recognized as one of the best blackout tattoo artists in the world. This is the second round of working on my left arm with him. We go from the lower part of my bicep up over my shoulder. Yes, this one did hurt. Philly was a great place. I enjoyed it.
