Listen "Episode 34 - Gray Area Drinking"
Episode Synopsis
There is a polarizing trend around drinking labels and what constitutes as "problem drinking". So, what is gray area drinking and where does it fall on the "problem drinking" spectrum? This is a conversation in which Aiden and Jolene invite listeners to hear their personal stories with gray area drinking and one in which they work to define exactly what this label stands for. One doesn't have to have a crash and burn story to stop drinking. Neither Jolene or Aiden had one. But, they both had a voice inside telling them "this doesn't feel right". That is all it takes to know that drinking isn't working in your life. Jolene finds that it is more common than not that people identify with this gray area yet there is not a lot of conversation around it. Jolene and Aiden discuss why they didn't need formal treatment and why no matter the route taken to becoming a non-drinker that we are all in this together. There is no judgment and in the end, we all need to do what is right, ok and safe for us. It is ok to say "I don't want to drink alcohol anymore" regardless of where you are on the spectrum.
