The last thing we should do is shame or mischaracterize sobriety from alcohol. Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs in the world and it’s so highly normalized. Alcohol is one of the only substances that can actually penetrate the blood brain barrier which is there to protect your brain and keep it safe. Alcohol is linked to over 200 diseases including a whole host of neurodegenerative diseases. There’s technically never a “safe amount” of alcohol to consume. Take whatever journey you need to take for yourself regarding alcohol but let’s not call sobriety “trendy.” I think it’s telling about this man’s relationship with alcohol. #sobriety #sobrietyrocks #alcohol #alcoholism #biology
