Big alcohol companies like to blame the individual rather than the poison that they sell. The liquor industry spends millions of dollars on advertisements that tell us we should drink responsibly. If we do not drink responsibly, than we are to blame.
Have you ever wondered why alcohol companies push the idea of 'responsible drinking' while their products cause so much harm? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, host Paul Churchill sits down with Julie, who has been sober for 92 days, to shed light on the tactics used by the liquor industry to shift blame onto individuals rather than the substance they sell.
Julie, a 35-year-old nurse with a passion for music and concerts, opens up about her struggles with alcohol and how she finally decided to quit after years of grappling with addiction. Paul and Julie discuss how the alcohol industry spends millions on advertisements that promote the notion of drinking responsibly, while conveniently ignoring the fact that alcohol kills 85,000 people each year. These companies rake in billions annually, avoiding high taxes and prioritizing profit over public health.
The conversation also touches on the importance of accountability and support systems in the journey to sobriety. Julie emphasizes that facing reality and building self-confidence were crucial steps in her recovery process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the darker side of the alcohol industry and those seeking inspiration for their own sobriety journey.
Tune in to hear Julie's story and gain valuable insights into how you can take control of your life, free from the grip of alcohol.
