Grey area drinking is that space where you wake up and think, 'I wish I didn't drink that much,' but you're not hitting rock bottom.
Ever wondered about the grey area between social drinking and full-blown alcoholism? Episode 237 of Recovery Rocks, featuring Jolene Park, dives right into this fascinating topic. Jolene, a functional nutritionist and the mind behind Healthy Discoveries, joins hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara to discuss 'grey area drinking' - a term she coined to describe drinking habits that don't hit rock bottom but still cause regret and anxiety.
The conversation touches on how society is finally recognising that alcohol use exists on a spectrum and the importance of addressing it before it escalates. Jolene also shares her insights on the online sober community, discussing the commercialisation of sobriety spaces and the challenges it brings. If you're curious about how nutrition ties into recovery or how to ground your nervous system in this social media age, Jolene's expertise offers practical advice and thought-provoking perspectives.
Plus, there's a fun Music Minute segment to lighten things up. Whether you're questioning your own drinking habits or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights and real talk. Tune in for an engaging discussion that might just change how you view your relationship with alcohol.
