I hope that someone is going to talk about this. And then we just let people turn to that because it's an easy out and someone can make money off of it. And then you know, I think it's going to be a long, brutal climb out of that, if anyone's even interested in fixing it, to get to the point where we're like, ok, maybe binge drinking or alcohol abuse is not so normalized and we actually identify it for the problem it is, instead of commemorating it with funny memes on the internet.
Imagine being stuck at home with no distractions, just you and your thoughts. That's the reality Scott and Derek dive into in this episode of Club Soda Club on Brobriety. After a break, they're back to share their personal journeys of navigating sobriety during the pandemic. They tackle the tough topics: the pitfalls of socially isolated drinking, the long-term consequences of using alcohol to cope, and why we need to view alcohol abuse as a serious public health issue.
The pandemic has nudged everyone towards empathy and vulnerability, and Scott and Derek explore how these shifts can be harnessed for self-improvement. They caution against the light-hearted memes that normalize binge drinking, warning that this could lead to a tougher battle against alcohol abuse in the future.
As Scott candidly puts it, 'It's going to be a long, brutal climb out if we don't start addressing the normalization of alcohol abuse.' Whether you're grappling with isolation, addiction, or just curious about mental health during these times, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to hear Scott and Derek's honest take on sobriety in a socially distanced world.
