I think, with the generations moving upwards, more people are just saying I'm not doing alcohol, whereas the older generation says it's what you do and it's student union, it's student. And I think, yeah, you're absolutely right, it's a really dangerous place for people who have a really bad problem with alcohol.
University life is often synonymous with late-night parties and drinking, but Charlie Martina is turning that narrative on its head. In this episode of 'Over The Influence', hosts Sharon, Freddie, and Ben sit down with Charlie, a student who has embraced sobriety and is now the President of Sober Society at her university.
Charlie shares her journey of giving up alcohol nearly a year ago and how she navigates the challenges of being a sober student in a culture where drinking is the norm. She talks about her latest project, Sober Soc, which aims to create a supportive community for students who choose to live alcohol-free or are curious about sobriety.
Through her role as Blog Curator at Over The Influence, Charlie brings together powerful stories from others on their own sober journeys, fostering a sense of belonging and inspiration. This episode dives into the societal shift towards alcohol-free living, the benefits of sobriety like clear-headedness and self-love, and the importance of having alcohol-free options in social settings.
Whether you're a student considering sobriety or someone looking for a supportive community, Charlie's story is a testament to the power of living an alcohol-free life.
