Do traditional substance use labels feel like they don’t fit? Society identifies substance use as black and white – extreme abuse/physical addiction or moderate/normal. What do you do when you feel like either extreme is not you? This can leave you feeling isolated and misunderstood as you begin to question your use.
Feeling like you don't fit into the traditional labels of substance use? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Done with Debauchery', hosts Denise and Keisha tackle the often-overlooked concept of 'gray area drinking'. Society tends to see substance use in black and white terms – either extreme abuse or moderate, normal consumption. But what about those who don't fit neatly into these categories?
Denise and Keisha break down the stigma around these labels and share their personal experiences navigating this gray zone. They dive into how the term 'gray area drinking' is gaining traction and discuss its relevance in today's world. The duo also opens up about their journeys with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and how COVID-19 has impacted substance use. They touch on binge drinking, exploring how stress and disconnection can turn a casual habit into a more serious issue.
This episode is perfect for anyone feeling isolated or misunderstood in their relationship with alcohol. It's a candid, supportive conversation that sheds light on the complexities of substance use without judgment.
