Charlie Martina: Redefining Student Life Without Alcohol
“I think, with the generations moving upwards, more people are just saying I'm not doing alcohol, whereas the older generation says it's what you do and it's student union, it's student. And I think, yeah, you're absolutely right, it's a really dangerous place for people who have a really bad problem with alcohol.”
University life is often synonymous with late-night parties and drinking, but Charlie Martina is turning that narrative on its head. In this episode of 'Over The Influence', hosts Sharon, Freddie, and Ben sit down with Charlie, a student who has embraced sobriety and is now the President of Sober Society at her university.
Charlie shares her journey of giving up alcohol nearly a year ago and how she navigates the challenges of being a sober student in a culture where drinking is the norm. She talks about her latest project, Sober Soc, which aims to create a supportive community for students who choose to live alcohol-free or are curious about sobriety.
Through her role as Blog Curator at Over The Influence, Charlie brings together powerful stories from others on their own sober journeys, fostering a sense of belonging and inspiration. This episode dives into the societal shift towards alcohol-free living, the benefits of sobriety like clear-headedness and self-love, and the importance of having alcohol-free options in social settings.
Whether you're a student considering sobriety or someone looking for a supportive community, Charlie's story is a testament to the power of living an alcohol-free life.
