06: Is Alcohol Really a Drug

Addiction Recovery

Imagine having to justify why you're not drinking alcohol at a social gathering. Sounds odd? That's the societal perception we're challenging today with our guest, Stephen Ginsberg, the founder of Restore Detox Centers. This episode promises to strip bare the societal norms around alcohol consumption and expose the clever marketing strategies that alcohol companies employ to lure new drinkers. We take a hard look at the effects of alcohol, not just on the physical and spiritual level, but also on the global scale. We unravel the potential dangers it poses and the critical need to debunk the socially accepted drug narrative.
Have you ever thought about the impact of alcoholism on parenting? We dive into this topic, exploring the importance of being aware of underage drinking risks and the necessity for regular drug and alcohol testing. Along with Stephen, we also share insights on the power of authenticity and vulnerability in supporting a loved one grappling with addiction. This episode serves as a reminder that help is available, and recovery is not just a possibility, but a reality for many. So, join us for this in-depth conversation that promises to shift your perspective on alcohol and its societal implications.
