There's nothing glamorous about that point in someone's drinking. It's not okay to take it that far, whether or not you are an alcoholic or aren't.
Ever been struck by how casually alcohol is glamorized in media? In this episode of '2 Sober Chicks', Julie tackles this very issue, reflecting on two recent ads that left her deeply unsettled. One ad glorifies drinking, while the other shockingly promotes binge drinking to the point of fainting or worse. As someone who has faced the harsh realities of alcoholism, Julie breaks down why these messages are not just misleading but dangerous.
She underscores the responsibility advertisers have, especially when their content reaches younger audiences who might be easily influenced. Julie doesn't just stop at pointing out the problem; she offers practical advice for those in recovery. She highlights the importance of leaning on sponsors and the fellowship of recovery programs when faced with such triggering content. 'We may be bothered or triggered by these messages, but we're not held hostage by our disease anymore', she shares.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is, providing both insight and solidarity in navigating a world where alcohol is often glamorized.
