Cannabis Harm Reduction Series: Why Alcohol Is So Hard to Quit

Quitting alcohol isn’t just about willpower. It’s about brain chemistry, habits formed over years, and sometimes even losing the people and routines built around drinking. In this episode of the Black Sheep Addictz: Cannabis Harm Reduction Series, we explore why alcohol can be so difficult to walk away from and how understanding the science, social patterns, and emotional ties can change the way we approach recovery. I also share parts of my own experience and why these realizations pushed me to start exploring harm reduction.
