Alcohol's Impact on Brain Health with Expert Dr. Lisa Parsons Part - 2
Ep 42 - Welcome to the Say Goodbye and Imagine podcast! I’m Rose Ann Forte, the author of the daily devotional The Plans He Has for Me and the creator of the Choose Freedom course, designed to help people change their relationship with alcohol and other substances.
In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Parsons from Amen Clinics, focusing on the results of my brain scan. I’m looking forward to revisiting this topic, asking questions, and sharing my journey. I wish I had the before scan to compare, as I know it would look quite different.
Before we dive in, let me share a bit about Dr. Parsons. She graduated from Wayne State University in Michigan and has worked in various medical settings, including consult liaison, emergency departments, and inpatient psychiatry. She also served as the medical director for the largest community mental health center in Northern Arizona. Dr. Parsons specializes in addiction and recovery, offering detox, residential, and outpatient services. She runs a private practice focused on holistic care, which I truly admire, and you’ll see some of that in today’s episode.
Dr. Parsons is passionate about ending the stigma surrounding mental illness-thank you for your important work!
Before we begin, please note that the content of this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only. The views and opinions expressed are those of the individual guests and do not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional with any questions regarding your health, medical conditions, or treatments. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it based on something you hear in this podcast.

Say Goodbye And Imagine shares the firsthand victories of those who have broken free from the psychological slavery of alcohol or other substances. Our greatest hope is to share these stories of triumph so you can draw inspiration and courage from their stories. But our podcast doesn't just offer hope-it showcases the real, tangible outcomes of lives transformed by faith and the collective strength of a community that believes in second chances.
Warning: our Say Goodbye And Imagine podcast is a little different. We don’t use words that create shame or a negative identity. So, in our podcast we don’t use vocabulary like alcoholic or alcoholism, alcohol addiction or alcohol recovery, recovery or recovering, sober or sobriety, addict or addiction, powerless or powerlessness, and other words that take away our identity in God. Since we are remade in the image of God, we seek an identity that is empowering through Him. Although we respect and honor groups like AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), Celebrate Recovery, and sober rehabilitation centers, our topics tend to be very individual, focusing on the unique journey of each participant. What is not unique is the common thread of the power of the Holy Spirit at work in each episode.
If you desire to quit drinking or have been searching for ways to reconnect with God, then please tune in. Hear the amazing success stories of Christians just like you who decided to choose freedom from alcohol or other substances. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) “For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Rose Ann Forte is the host of Say Goodbye and Imagine. Rose Ann had reached a point in her own life when she realized that alcohol was stealing from her and understood that God had a much better plan for her. Today she is the bestselling author of The Plans He has for Me Daily Devotional. Through her podcast, blog articles, books, public speaking, Choose Freedom Program, UA-cam and TikTok videos, and Choose Freedom coaching and church mentor programs, Rose Ann loves to share her experience of transformation with others and discuss the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s foundational principles behind renewing your mind.

      Start with the 12 week challenge (plans he has for me daily devotional) and then you will get to choose your path forward. I believe there is convincing evidence of a much more magnificent life without it.

      It's a process and yes, it reminds me of the process that was undergone with cigarettes. Used to be advertised as "cool", but when they realized it was killing people, all things changed. Things are starting to shift. Thanks for the comment

    hi! so so important for our world community. to understand the effect’s of alcohol on all our organs and and toxicity of our cells. It’s as if it’s not a substance “harder” than alcohol the overall outcome of our health will not be as compromised. This is not even the psychological damage alcohol can cause, but the sociological detriment, family violence and destruction and of course the number of deaths alcohol causes to the drinker but the innocents that happen to be in the wrong place at the time. Thank you so much for the taking the time to go into such depth. much gratitude ❤

    Exactly, it's a fact that quitting booze not only makes your world a better place to be in, good things start to “magically” happen and the energy is insane!

    Thanks, these are some good reminders, there’s no question that increasing your mental clarity and boosting your drive, comes with quitting. Yes, there are many ways to kick the habit, Steffon Barkload's Quit Drinking Forever is what worked for me, best shortcut I go’ogled that took days without withdrawal.

    • @saygoodbyeandimagine
      @saygoodbyeandimagine 2 місяці тому

      Awesome. I'll take a look at it to see if I should make it recommended reading on my site www.choosefreedom.today I am also the author of a daily devotional called the Plans He Has For Me. It's won 7 awards and has many 5 star ratings and has saved many lives. Feel free to start recommending that along with Steffon's book. :)

  • @LucasM-b5x
    @LucasM-b5x 2 місяці тому

    So many programs out there that promise you'll quit drinking from one day to the next and feel great for the rest of your life. Listen, Steffon Barkload's Quit Drinking Forever takes a lighter, safer approach which you decide to go with at your own pace. Best shortcut I go’ogled that only took days to rewire my brain to continually experience mental peace.

    • @saygoodbyeandimagine
      @saygoodbyeandimagine 2 місяці тому

    So true about lamenting. The counsel I remember hearing was, have faith, but we cannot faith our pain away. It was an absurd idea that could never bear any good fruit. Plus Jesus died in vain when we deny him and his love and comfort. It’s beauty for ashes, not embers. Things have to die in order to bring new life!
