We need to get much better information out there and draw attention to the fact that it isn't just the drinker. It's not just their choice. It's the harm to others right through from the unborn baby through to the children of dependent parents, through to the victims of domestic violence. And you know, the list is endless.
Ever wondered if there's a middle ground between heavy drinking and complete abstinence? In this thought-provoking episode of the UK Health Radio Podcast, Janey Lee Grace opens up about her personal journey to sobriety and the often-overlooked 'grey area' drinkers—those who aren't hitting rock bottom but know they're drinking too much. She shares her own struggles and triumphs, highlighting the lack of support and resources available for people in this middle ground.
Janey then sits down with Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, Chair of the Alcohol Health Alliance, to discuss the state of addiction services in the UK. They tackle some tough questions: How well-equipped is the medical profession to deal with alcohol-related issues? What policy changes are needed to better support those struggling with alcohol? Sir Ian sheds light on the gaps in current services and advocates for evidence-based policies like increasing alcohol prices and improving treatment options.
The conversation also delves into the importance of early detection and prevention, as well as breaking down the stigma surrounding alcohol problems. Janey emphasizes the benefits of sobriety, not just for those hitting rock bottom but for anyone looking to improve their quality of life. She offers support through her 'Sober Club' and Sober 360 training, encouraging listeners to reach out, connect, and seek help.
If you're curious about how to navigate your own relationship with alcohol or want to understand the broader issues at play, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in sobriety, alcohol policy, or simply living a healthier life.
