"What if what you think is helping you… is actually harming you?"
In this eye-opening episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick Fox sits down with Janey Lee Grace, a renowned broadcaster and holistic living expert, to challenge the notion that you must hit rock bottom before quitting alcohol. Janey, who has worn many hats throughout her career—from BBC Radio 2 presenter to author and founder of The Sober Club—shares her personal journey of realising that alcohol was not the self-care tool she once believed it to be.
With her candid storytelling, Janey discusses how she was once blind to the impact alcohol had on her life, despite being deeply entrenched in the world of holistic wellness. She reflects on the cultural myths surrounding alcohol, such as the belief that a glass of wine is good for the heart, and how these misconceptions can trap individuals in unhealthy habits.
Patrick and Janey explore the idea that alcohol often masquerades as a solution to life's challenges, when in reality, it may be causing more harm than good. Janey's transformation began when she questioned these long-held beliefs and recognised the freedom that comes with living an alcohol-free life. She shares anecdotes about her early days of sobriety, including attending a sober rave and delivering a TEDx talk, which highlighted her newfound sense of authenticity and purpose.
The conversation is a reminder that you don't have to wait for a crisis to make positive changes. Whether you're considering cutting back or quitting entirely, Janey's story offers hope and practical insights for anyone looking to reclaim their life from alcohol. Tune in for an engaging discussion that could very well inspire you to rethink your relationship with alcohol.
