When they were talking about the ways we try to justify our need for alcohol or nicotine, i was reminded of these Elbow lyrics.. beautiful insights into nicotine addiction:
“What can be said of the cigarette smokes
A prop for a joke or a mark on the clock
If I stopped would the bus ever come
Would the dawn ever kiss me, forgiven me, knowing what's done
Would the drivel make scribble make sense and then song
Would the woodbines denied black another man's lungs
Interesting episode. Josh’s history with alcohol was quite different to what I had expected based on his limited comments over time about having given up drinking. Good on him for being open and honest with the audience. I agree with the move away from pathologising ‘alcoholics’ as people who can never touch a drink again for fear of descent into madness

Perverse as it may sound I sometimes believe
The tip to my lips just reminds me to breathe”
The only two podcasts that I subscribe to in one episode. Venn diagram is circle
