66 Days Sober Challenge - Day 44

Wednesday Oct 14, 2020
This is a series of 66 mini podcasts - to support you through a 66 day alcohol free challenge.
The challenge lasts for 66 days because that's how long it takes to change a habit.
We have published an e-book called "66 days to sobriety" (available on our website https://www.tribesober.com) - this book contains 66 pages of tips, tools and motivation so I will read a page a day for these mini podcasts.
I will also update you on the healing taking place in your body and mind as you progress through the 66 days.
Alcohol is a drug
Alcohol kills more people every year than all the hard drugs put together.
Yet somehow alcohol has become so normalised that we see it as an essential to a happy life!
We rarely call alcohol a drug - but alcohol absolutely IS a drug - I think the confusion arises because alcohol is legal
Not only is it legal but the hype is that a small amount is good for you - it's not!
Although alcohol is chemically designed to be addictive somehow people who drink too much are seen as "weak"
Whereas if someone starts taking heroin we expect them to become addicted!
Amy Winehouse used alcohol and drugs yet she struggled with alcohol the most.
Although the media liked to focus on her drug use alcohol was the only drug in her body when she died.
Having a "hangover" is seen as perfectly acceptable whereas "coming down" from a drug not so much.
All these contradictions prove that we treat alcohol differently from other drugs - when we really shouldn't.
