By choosing not to drink, you are being responsible, not abnormal.
Ever wondered if your drinking habits are 'normal'? In this episode of The Alcohol Recovery Show, hosts Antonia Ryan and Lewis David dive into the murky waters of what it means to be a 'normal drinker'. With society's mixed messages about alcohol, it can be tough to figure out if your relationship with drinking is healthy or heading into risky territory.
Antonia and Lewis tackle questions like, 'How do you know if your drinking is normal?' and 'Is it your fault if you can't drink responsibly?' They explore why some people can take or leave alcohol while others struggle to moderate their intake. This episode isn't about labeling anyone as abnormal but rather understanding the various factors—like brain chemistry and past trauma—that can influence drinking habits.
Whether you're trying to cut back, quit entirely, or just curious about your own drinking patterns, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn why choosing not to drink can be a responsible and empowering decision, and how to navigate the societal pressures that come with it.
