Episode 117: Why is Drinking the Norm?


Listen Later

When is the last time you turned on the TV and didn’t see an ad for alcohol? Can you remember? Our society glorifies alcohol. There’s always a reason to drink; a girl’s night out, a football game, a summer BBQ, the list goes on. But when you turn off the tv and the ads of partying on a beach go black or when you return home from a summer BBQ tipsy, what are you left with? How do you feel? Why is alcohol so ingrained in our culture that if you choose not to drink, you're the outlier? These questions have been on my mind recently and I’ve decided to speak about them.

In this episode I discuss:

  • Glorification of alcohol in our culture;
  • Impacts of alcohol in the home;
  • Alcohol ads vs. real life;
  • My personal decision not to entertain alcohol;
  • What lead to my decision to not drink;
  • How my life has changed without alcohol;
  • How to deal with social events when you aren’t drinking;
  • The stigma around choosing not to drink;
  • How alcohol lowered my vibration;
  • My experiences in Al-Anon
  • Again, these are my personal decisions and experiences and what works for me may not work for everyone. I can say without a doubt, that my decision to leave alcohol behind has yielded only positive results.

    If alcohol has impacted you, your family, or your friends, or if you’ve been toying with the idea of not drinking- give this a listen, and if you feel comfortable doing so, comment on your own experiences! I’d love to hear them!
