We need to tie the resulting damage to alcohol, and we need to open up the dialogue.
Imagine a world where talking about alcoholism is as common and accepted as discussing your favorite TV show. That's the kind of world Matt and Sheri Salis envision in this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast. Rather than just extinguishing the fires already burning, they focus on preventing them from starting in the first place.
They argue that to truly address the alcoholism epidemic, which affects more people than cancer and claims over three million lives each year, society needs to take two critical steps: connect alcohol directly to its deadly consequences and foster open conversations about its impact. Matt and Sheri aren't afraid to share their own stories, even joking about how it's sometimes easier to come out as gay than to admit you're an alcoholic.
They also touch on the sensitivity around privacy and the fear of making people uncomfortable. The couple emphasizes the importance of honesty and accountability in recovery and the need for a cultural shift to tackle high-functioning alcoholism. If you're looking for a mix of personal anecdotes, practical advice, and a call to action, this episode is for you.
