Richard Piper on Sober Shaming and the Path to a Healthier Society

Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain, and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support. Their message is clear: you don't need alcohol to have a good time.
Ever wondered how societal norms around drinking shape our lives? In this episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson, also known as SoberDave, sits down with Richard Piper, the CEO of Alcohol Change UK. They tackle some heavy topics like the stigma surrounding sobriety and the phenomenon of sober shaming. But it's not all doom and gloom. They also dive into the positive impact of community support and initiatives like Sober Spring.
Richard shares some eye-opening insights on how we can shift our culture towards healthier drinking habits. He highlights the importance of making conscious choices about alcohol rather than just going with the flow. With over 200,000 people using their Try Dry app to monitor their drinking, Alcohol Change UK is making waves in helping people gain control over their alcohol consumption.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the bigger picture of alcohol use in society and how we can collectively move towards a future with less harm and more support.
