Lissie Turner's Bold Journey to Sobriety: A Powerful Message from the Bottle
“Of all, assaults in Australia are alcohol related. For every lovely boozy buzz there is someone being boozily bashed. How can I stand up for my sisters and simultaneously support the industry that manufactures one of the single biggest risk factors for violence, this poison that colonizers introduced to first nations people with no disclaimer about what it could do to them, their babies, to their delicate and intricate social systems that's still legally allowed to poison every one of us in broad daylight and keeps those most traumatized trapped, perpetuating a bullshit hierarchy of those who can handle their booze and those who cannot.”
What happens when eight brave souls share their stories of alcohol in front of a live audience? You get a night filled with raw, unfiltered truth. The final speaker of this gripping event was none other than Lissie Turner, a regular on the 'How I Quit Alcohol' podcast. Lissie doesn't hold back.
