Alcohol does not solve all of your problems. You can go, buy that, make it go away again, but when you stop drinking, that problem is going to hit you in the face, and I and i- and I tell people this all the time, and I don't mean to sugarcoat it it sometimes. Oftentimes it's going to get harder before it gets easier, and you have to expect that there's going to be a time- and I use this analogy to everybody when they talk about quitting alcohol- and then why people do it and how.
What if you didn't need to hit rock bottom to reconsider your relationship with alcohol? In this episode of 'The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast', Molly Watts chats with Ken Middleton, a passionate advocate for 'alcohol consciousness'. Ken, the editor of the Medium publication 'Alcohol is NOT Your Friend', introduces his belief that understanding alcohol's impact can lead to a healthier, more holistic lifestyle without the need for extreme measures.
Ken's journey from habitual drinking to promoting mindful consumption is both enlightening and relatable. He shares how he coined the term 'alcohol consciousness' to help people realize they don't need to have a 'problem' with alcohol to benefit from reducing or eliminating it. His upcoming book, 'Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All', targets those who might not identify as alcoholics but could still improve their lives by cutting back.
Throughout their conversation, Molly and Ken dive into practical strategies for changing drinking habits, backed by science and personal experience. They discuss the importance of setting meaningful goals, whether it's learning something new or adopting a fitness routine, to create a sense of purpose beyond alcohol. Ken also highlights the emotional challenges that can arise when quitting drinking and stresses the value of a strong support system. Ken's message is one of hope and empowerment.
By embracing alcohol consciousness, you can break free from habitual drinking and cultivate a more peaceful, fulfilling life. He reminds us that while alcohol might seem like a quick fix, the underlying issues remain until we face them head-on. Tune in for an honest, inspiring discussion that could spark your own journey towards mindful drinking.
