Drinking alcohol is not self-care. It's proven that alcohol is actually a depressant. Is there anything else in the world that we would culturally say: hey, if you want to take care of yourself, take this depressant, take this thing that scientifically makes you feel down?
Have you ever been tempted to reach for a glass of wine as a form of self-care? Joshua Hill, host of 'The Sobriety Short Show', is here to bust that myth wide open. In this eye-opening episode, Hill tackles the pervasive cultural lie that drinking alcohol equates to taking care of oneself.
He kicks things off by giving a shout-out to those who’ve made it through another week sober, and even if you’ve had a slip-up, he reminds you that it's not the end of the world. Hill then dives into the heart of the matter: the idea that alcohol is a depressant, not a pick-me-up. He asks listeners to consider if they’d ever label something that makes them feel down as self-care. Spoiler alert: probably not!
Throughout the episode, Hill calls out this harmful narrative and offers practical alternatives for genuine self-care. From spending quality time with loved ones to enjoying a good meal or simply taking a walk, he lists numerous ways to nurture yourself without alcohol. His message is clear and supportive: you are strong, you are worth it, and recovery is possible. Hill's straightforward yet encouraging approach provides much-needed clarity and motivation for anyone on the journey to sobriety.
