In this heartfelt episode of Tribe Sober, Janet Gorond pays tribute to her late friend Eusebius McKaiser, who passed away at the young age of 44. Eusebius was a well-known South African author, journalist, and broadcaster, celebrated for his fierce advocacy for truth and justice. Janet shares personal anecdotes about their friendship, which began in a rather unexpected manner—she was drunk at a literary festival when they first met.
Despite this rocky start, their bond grew strong over the years, with Eusebius becoming an integral part of the Tribe Sober community. Janet re-releases an interview with Eusebius where they bust common myths about sobriety. One standout moment is Eusebius's advice to tell people to 'fuck off' if they question why you're not drinking. He also suggests using sarcasm to deflect such questions, highlighting the absurdity of having to justify a sober lifestyle.
The episode is packed with humour and raw honesty as they discuss the challenges and triumphs of living alcohol-free. Eusebius also reflects on the growth of the sober curious movement in South Africa, noting how the market for alcohol-free drinks has exploded. Janet adds that this shift is promising, especially as it shows a growing demand for healthier choices. They both agree that education is crucial in changing societal norms around drinking.
The episode also touches on their collaborative efforts to support Earthchild, an NGO that provides yoga and life skills classes to underprivileged children. Through their Dry January Challenge, they've raised significant funds to support this cause, making a real impact on the lives of many children. This episode is a beautiful blend of humour, heartfelt memories, and practical advice.
Whether you're already sober, striving to be sober, or just curious about an alcohol-free lifestyle, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of community. Don't miss out on this touching tribute and enlightening conversation. So, why not give it a listen? You might find it both entertaining and inspiring.
