Why Am I an Alcoholic? The Bio-Psycho-Social Truth About Addiction

October 15, 2025

Ever found yourself wondering, “Why me?”

Why can’t I drink like other people?
Did I inherit this?
If I’d made different choices, would it have turned out differently?

If these questions have kept you up at night, you’re not alone — and this episode is your answer.

Inside, I’m breaking down the real, full-picture WHY behind alcohol addiction — not in vague theories or shame-based clichés, but with a powerful, science-backed model that makes everything finally make sense: the Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Addiction.

We’re going deeper than “you drink too much.”
We’re unpacking what drove you to seek relief in the first place — and how you can finally start to untangle the layers keeping you stuck.

If you’ve ever felt confused, exhausted, or like sobriety still isn’t working the way you hoped — this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The truth about addiction: why it’s not just genetics, trauma, or stress — it’s the collision of all three.
  • What most people get completely wrong when trying to stop drinking
  • Why “just quitting” isn’t enough — and what to do instead
  • The exact factors that make some people more vulnerable (and how to take your power back anyway)
  • The one thing I tell every client about where to start when recovery feels overwhelming
