A short, objective self-assessment to help you determine whether your drinking is still rational — without shame or labels. Alcoholism makes no sense — and that’s exactly why trying to make it make sense keeps you stuck.
In this video, Dr. Donald Crowe, a physician with over 40 years in emergency medicine and more than 10,000 days sober, breaks down the hidden neurological mechanism behind addiction — something he calls Chemically Mediated Disinhibition Syndrome (CMDS).
You’ll learn why “willpower” isn’t the missing ingredient, why “just drink like everyone else” is a trap, and how understanding alcohol’s impact on your brain can change everything.
🎯 What you’ll learn:
Why alcohol hijacks your decision-making system
How to reframe addiction as a medical condition, not a moral failing
Practical ways to rebuild your life with your brakes working again
👉 If you’re ready to stop fighting a battle that never had a referee, this video will help you see your drinking — and your recovery — in a completely new light.
