Problematic drinking amongst women has risen over since The Mid Nineties, and the message that promotes binge drinking does damage in the longterm because it confuses people who do struggle with a drinking problem.
Ever chuckled at a wine meme and wondered if there's more to it? In this episode of Recovery Happy Hour, host Tricia Lewis dives into the subtle yet harmful impact of wine memes and binge drinking culture. With a rise in problematic drinking among women since the mid-nineties, these seemingly harmless jokes can actually fuel addiction and confusion.
Drawing from Charles Duhigg's 'The Power of Habit', Tricia breaks down the three-step loop of habit formation and its connection to alcohol use. But that's just the beginning. She sits down with Rachel, the founder of Shots to Shakes, who opens up about her own path to recovery. Rachel, a military spouse, shares how alcohol affected her social life and personal identity, and how she found strength in setting boundaries and seeking supportive friendships.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the deeper implications of drinking culture and find inspiration in stories of resilience. Tune in for practical advice, heartfelt stories, and a fresh perspective on living sober.
