But swinging it around like that has made it palatable to people.
Ever thought about how tough it is to quit drinking in a small town where everyone knows everyone? In this eye-opening episode of 'Soberful', Veronica Valli chats with Shanna Whan, the powerhouse behind Sober in the Country, a charity that's making waves in rural Australia. Shanna's story is both raw and inspiring. Faced with the lack of support in her community, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Her 'OK2SAYNO' campaign is changing how people in the bush view sobriety, proving that it's possible to live alcohol-free even in places where drinking seems like the norm. This conversation dives deep into the unique hurdles of getting sober in rural areas, from the scarcity of social activities for non-drinkers to the cultural pressure to join in on the booze.
Shanna's candidness and humor make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of addiction outside urban settings. Tune in to hear how grassroots initiatives like Sober in the Country are paving the way for a healthier, more supportive rural life.
