In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff chats with Ken, the founder of AINYF (Alcohol is NOT Your Friend) and author of the upcoming book 'Bamboozled'.
Ken breaks down how the alcohol industry's profits hinge not just on those labeled as alcoholics, but also on casual drinkers who might not even realize the grip alcohol has on their lives. With a staggering annual revenue of 1.8 trillion dollars, projected to hit 2.3 trillion by 2025, it's clear that the industry's influence is vast and deeply entrenched.

This conversation isn't just about the dangers of drinking; it's about the freedom and empowerment that come with choosing sobriety.

If you're curious about the real impact of your casual drinking habits or looking for inspiration to quit, this episode is a must-listen. It's a candid, revealing discussion that challenges you to rethink your relationship with alcohol and consider the transformative power of sobriety.
