How to Stop Drinking Alcohol Duncan Bhaskaran-Brown
Duncan Bhaskaran-Brown Talks Sobriety and Sociability with Kirsty van den Bulk in an eye-opening episode of The Wise Why.
Duncan @RealMenQuit. He candidly explains his relationships with alcohol and the complexities and struggles he faced as he understood the impact alcohol had on his life and is now dedicated to helping individuals achieve sobriety. As we navigate through Sober October, Duncan shares insights on why some people choose temporary abstinence and the value it can bring.
Duncan's journey began in his early teens when drinking was synonymous with social confidence and adulthood. However, as he grew older, the friendly aspect diminished while consumption increased—leading to isolation and overindulgence. This personal experience fuels his passion for assisting others in their path towards sobriety.
We explore common misconceptions about alcohol's role in social situations and how societal expectations often pressure individuals into drinking—especially within professional settings where industries may inadvertently promote alcohol consumption at events or meetings.
Our conversation also touches upon the rise of non-alcoholic beverages as socially acceptable alternatives that allow people to enjoy social gatherings without compromising their well-being or next-day productivity.
Duncan emphasises that choosing sobriety isn't just about abstaining from alcohol; it's a transformative process that brings clarity, energy, focus, peace—and most importantly, an abundance of time previously spent under its influence. His upcoming book, "Real Men Quit," aims to empower men struggling with this issue by offering guidance rooted in personal anecdotes and practical advice.
The podcast wraps up by acknowledging childhood influences on adult behaviours around alcohol but promises more detailed exploration once ongoing research is completed.
Key Takeaways:
Understanding our intricate relationship with alcohol.
How societal norms shape our views on drinking.
The benefits of embracing non-alcoholic options.
Sobriety has a profound impact on one’s lifestyle beyond mere abstinence.
Upcoming literature from Duncan aimed at aiding those seeking change.
Listeners are left contemplating not only their habits but also society’s broader acceptance of certain addictions—a thought-provoking session indeed!
