Ken Makimsy Middleton on Alcohol Consciousness: Embracing a Holistic Life

I do believe, Lee, there's a certain age that everybody should quit drinking, because if you don't, the negative effects and the price you're paying for it is so much greater than the prices that you're paying for before.
Ever wondered if you need to hit rock bottom to quit drinking? Ken Makimsy Middleton thinks otherwise. In this episode of the '1000 Days Sober Podcast', host Lee Davy chats with Ken, the editor of 'Alcohol is NOT Your Friend', a Medium publication dedicated to science-backed strategies for changing one's relationship with alcohol. Ken introduces the idea of 'Alcohol Consciousness', suggesting that you don't need to have a 'problem' to reconsider your drinking habits.
Instead, it's about choosing a healthier, more holistic lifestyle before things go south. Ken is also working on a book titled 'Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All', and he shares some intriguing concepts from it. The conversation touches on various topics like educating kids about alcohol, Hollywood's role in glamorizing drinking, and the often-misleading perception of alcohol's value. Ken and Lee discuss the importance of mindful drinking and the benefits of quitting before it's too late.
But it's not just about quitting; it's about filling the 'white space' in your life with positive habits like exercise and a balanced diet. They also dive into how alcohol can play a part in mid-life crises and awakenings, emphasizing that it's never too late to make a change. Lee and Ken wrap up with a thought-provoking reminder to reflect on your relationship with alcohol and seek support when needed.
If you're curious about living a healthier, more conscious life, this episode is packed with insights that might just inspire you to make a change.
