Gray area drinkers do not have a physical dependency on alcohol; they drink because they want to, not to avoid withdrawal symptoms. They don’t identify as having alcohol use disorder, so they wouldn’t be comfortable in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, and they can stop anytime they want to.
Ever wondered if your drinking habits fall into a gray area? Kim and Kezia from 'The Weekend Sober' sit down with Meg Geisewite, author of 'Intoxicating Lies', to shed light on this often-misunderstood topic. Meg explains that gray area drinkers don't have a physical dependency on alcohol but find themselves questioning their drinking patterns and struggling to stop. They might not fit into the traditional categories of alcohol use disorder, making it a hidden issue for many.
Through her personal story, Meg discusses how she broke free from the cycle of gray area drinking, emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and curiosity. The episode also touches on how gray area drinking affects relationships and mental health, offering listeners a fresh perspective on sobriety. Whether you're curious about your own habits or looking to support someone else, this conversation is both eye-opening and inspiring.
