We need more education and we need to look at prevention more. And as long as the substances- alcohol and other drugs- give you these two components where they're really good at making you fight, really good at making you unsatisfied, but they're also the one and only thing that you're using for stress relief, it's going to continue to be everywhere, and that's why I think the prevention component is so important.
Ever thought about how stress and alcohol feed off each other? In this eye-opening episode of the 'Untoxicated Podcast', Sheri and Matt Salis dive into this very topic. They candidly discuss how the quest for relaxation can often spiral into something much darker. Matt and Sheri break down alcoholism into two key components: the creation of arrogant, rude, and unsatisfied drinkers, and the role stress plays in pushing alcohol consumption to dangerous levels.
Sharing their personal experiences, they reveal how stress made alcohol seem necessary, only to end up causing more chaos and arguments. They emphasize the importance of having a supportive network during the early stages of recovery, noting that those who haven't experienced this struggle might not fully understand. This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by alcoholism, offering valuable insights and a sense of community.
