I don't believe in normal drinkers and alcoholic drinkers. I do think that it is regarded as a negative thing, and you know in a wider sense, certainly, and I just I just don't think that it's in any way good and it doesn't hold up to logical reasoning either, because it's a self diagnosed thing.
Ever had a friend or family member who just doesn't get why you're trying to quit drinking? In this episode of 'Off The Rocks', hosts Jennie Nelson and Sara Lewis tackle this very issue with their signature blend of humor and heartfelt advice. Responding to an email from a listener they've nicknamed 'Gwenda', the duo dives into the challenges of quitting alcohol and dealing with non-supportive people.
Despite the heavy topics, the episode is full of laughs, proving that even serious discussions can have a light side. Jennie and Sara share personal stories and insights on the 'alcoholic' label, the power of neuroplasticity in addiction recovery, and the importance of finding a supportive community. They stress that quitting alcohol is a deeply personal journey that involves self-discovery and personal growth.
When faced with negativity from others, they suggest focusing on your own convictions and disengaging from those who bring you down. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers both inspiration and practical advice. Tune in for a refreshing take on sobriety that’s as informative as it is entertaining.
