Why Quitting Sugar Feels Harder Than Alcohol (And What to Do About It)

30 Jun 2025

Description

When the alcohol stops… the sugar often starts. But why?   In this eye-opening conversation with Mike Collins—aka The Sugar-Free Man—we explore the hidden trap that catches so many people after they stop drinking: sugar. Mike breaks down how sugar hijacks the brain, soothes our wounds, and becomes the silent saboteur of our emotional health.   We talk dopamine, parenting, oat milk lattes, the emotional meaning of tea, and how generational sugar rituals keep us stuck. Whether you’re trying to quit sugar, curious if you should, or just tired of the back-and-forth battle, this episode offers deep insight and a pathway to real, lasting freedom.   You don’t have to live on a rollercoaster of cravings. You can be free.   🎧 Listen in to discover: – Why sugar is often your first addiction, not your last – The dopamine deception behind cravings – How sugar sneaks in as a socially acceptable emotional crutch – Why bread may be worse than you think – How to raise sugar-conscious kids without going full monk – And the one step to take before you try quitting sugar   This isn’t about perfection. It’s about liberation.   🔗 Want to work with Mike? Visit SugarAddiction.com or join the challenge at SugarDetox.com   🔗 Want support on your alcohol-free journey?
