Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 76, Deprivation and Social Injustice

This week I dive into the fear of feeling deprived when you are trying to cut back on how much you are drinking.

Often we think we don't want to feel deprived before we go to a party or social event or Friday night, and we don't even try to drink less because we don't want to feel deprivation.

In this episode, I examine the feeling of deprivation and how when you decide to drink/eat so you don't feel deprived you are actually depriving yourself of your goals and dreams of being someone who drinks less.

I also address our current social issue here in America, racism.

In the same way, our society influences how much we drink, our society influences how we think and act towards people of color.

I'm not claiming to be an expert on this topic, my goal is to talk about it openly and plant the seed that you might challenge your current thoughts on racism here in America too.

Stay curious, stay open, and notice your feelings on this topic. If you are feeling defensive, angry, or pissed, ask yourself why and notice the thoughts you have and know that they are optional.

If you can change your thoughts about alcohol you can change your thoughts about racism.

Look up the book White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo.
