Ever wondered why those rose-tinted memories of drinking seem to linger? Janey Lee Grace dives into this puzzling phenomenon known as Fading Affect Bias (FAB) in her latest episode of 'Alcohol Free Life'. FAB is that sneaky psychological trick where negative memories fade faster than positive ones, making those wild nights out seem more glamorous than they really were.
Through candid discussions from The Sober Club, Janey brings to light the real struggles of staying sober, from unexpected triggers to the constant battle against the 'wine witch'. But that's not all. This episode also features a compelling conversation with Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, a leading voice in alcohol policy reform.
As Chair of the Alcohol Health Alliance UK and head of the Liverpool Centre for Alcohol Research, Ian shares his insights on the urgent need for better alcohol policies in the UK. He talks about the societal impacts of alcohol, the importance of early detection, and why we need stronger public awareness campaigns and price adjustments to curb alcohol abuse. Janey wraps up the episode by highlighting the power of connection and accountability in sobriety.
She invites listeners to join a Sober 360 coach training session and other upcoming events at The Sober Club. Whether you're newly sober, a seasoned veteran, or just curious about an alcohol-free life, this episode offers a wealth of information and inspiration.
