E61: Booze Nearly Destroyed Gill Tietz's Life. Her Recovery Helps Save Them
Gill Tietz picked up her first drink later than most. Bullied in school, she avoided social gatherings and focused on academics. But after starting Graduate School, she decided to live a little, experiencing love at first sight with alcohol.
A Biologist by trade, Gill talks about getting bullied as a kid and isolating from others through the end of college. Gill got into drinking in Graduate School and her affair with the bottle took off. Though she mentioned that biologists and chemists have the reputation as heavy drinkers, she took it to an extreme, with thoughts of self harm being one of the reasons she quit.
As a biologist, we asked Gill about The Doctor's Opinion by Dr. Silkworth in the Big Book of AA. Dr.Silkworth discusses "the allergy" which causes the phenomenon of craving. Gill had some unexpected opinions on the subject.
Gill's story shows that alcohol abuse and the mechanics internally don't care about education, gender and status in life. With this disease, we are all the same.
