Appearances can be deceiving and because of that they can kill. So I don't define who or what an alcoholic is. That's up to the person who shows up at a meeting and says I'm an alcoholic.
What does it mean to identify as an alcoholic? In this episode of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting', host JJ Chance takes listeners on a personal journey through the maze of addiction and identity. JJ opens up about his own experiences with alcoholism, breaking down the stereotypes and stigmas that often surround the disease. He challenges the notion that alcoholism has a 'look', reminding us that it doesn't discriminate based on social class, success, or any other external factors.
It's all about one's relationship with alcohol and the struggle to control it. Throughout the episode, JJ underscores the significance of self-identification and the role of community support in achieving sobriety. He also touches on the often-overlooked connection between alcoholism and mental health, providing a holistic view of what it means to battle addiction. Pop culture's portrayal of alcoholism is another topic on the table, adding an extra layer to this multifaceted discussion.
This episode isn't just about JJ's story; it's a broader conversation about how we perceive and talk about addiction. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the subject, JJ's candid and heartfelt approach offers valuable insights and plenty of food for thought. Tune in for an episode that's as enlightening as it is relatable.
