Love Sober Podcast

Today we talk about different types of drinkers: Trying to find the right language to describe the timeline of a drinker. Did we all start out as Normies? What happens over time, how did we as drinkers change? Are some people in denial? Or is that a negative/unhelpful term? How best can we describe drinkers?

In this episode we had the great delight to talk with Lucy Rocca - Founder of Soberistas. Lucy has written four books on sobriety, helped thousands of people (including us) on their journey into living a happy, healthy alcohol free life. Lucy gave up drinking seven years ago and felt there was a huge lack of support for people like her, the idea behind Soberistas was to create "a Mumsnet for worried binge drinkers" Not using prescriptive language of alcoholism/alcoholic/addiction but for people to be able to share their concerns, their problems and help each other giving up alcohol. The formula has proved hugely successful and since launching the site in 2012 there are now 52,000 registered members worldwide. In Lucy's words "You've got to create a life you love." that being alcohol free isn't giving up anything, but the best decision you could ever make for yourself. Thanks so much to Lucy for her time, energy and continued sober activism. She really was one of the trailblazer's of the modern Sober Revolution movement and continues to be a vital advocate for sober living. And thanks personally from us, when we think of how life would be for us without Soberistas it doesn't bare thinking about. Much Love K & M.

The marketing of Alcohol. This is quite the subject. Something that really we have both become interested in and acutely aware of now we don't drink. Let's chat about this for two reasons because: A) It's a question of ethics. How honest/How well regulated are these industries? Are they giving responsible messages around alcohol? B) Let's take some of the shame/blame off us for a moment - what's the expression? "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink." Yes we are ultimately responsible for the choices we make, but let's talk about the context for those decisions. How easy is it to make an informed choice about alcohol when your whole life you have been told openly and subliminally that drinking alcohol is the ONLY normal choice. Then we talk revolution...
