Facing the Truth: Nico's Take on Recognizing a Drinking Problem

What's not okay is if you don't find a way to do better.
Have you ever wondered if your drinking habits are truly a problem? In this eye-opening episode of 'Not an Angel', Nico Morales tackles the often-overlooked issue of underestimating a drinking problem. Research shows that a staggering 21% of people don't believe their drinking is serious enough to need help. Nico argues that this mindset can be perilous, drawing from his own experiences to illustrate the potential consequences of denial.
Imagine having a nail in your tire; it might seem harmless at first, but ignoring it could lead to a flat tire at the worst possible moment. That's how Nico describes the dangers of brushing off a drinking problem. He emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and being honest with oneself, even though it's not always easy or comfortable.
Throughout the episode, Nico explores various definitions of what constitutes a 'serious' drinking problem, highlighting that it can vary from person to person. He also discusses the barriers that prevent people from seeking help, such as fear, stigma, and denial. Nico encourages listeners to adopt a systematic approach to reducing or stopping their drinking, stressing the importance of self-awareness and reflection in the recovery journey.
The episode wraps up with a heartfelt call to action: take your drinking problem seriously and seek help before it's too late. Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice that could make all the difference in your journey to sobriety.
