What Is It About Booze with Jenny Valentish

What is the correlation between alcohol patterns and extreme sports? What part does self-identity play in trying to kick a harmful booze habit? And when you do go sober and you’re faced with the clarity of your own historical dickhead behaviour, how do you balance the books and feel not just accepting of who you were but good about yourself going forward? In this episode, we are focusing on one of the most culturally accepted and statistically harmful substances of all time – alcohol. A known grade 1 carcinogen, the number one aggravating factor in violent assaults and partner homicide, socially accepted and legal. Why does it get it’s hooks so deep in so many of us and why is it so hard to extract from our lives, long after it’s begun to cause us – and those around us – harm? Jenny Valentish, is creator and host of the podcast Spirit Levels and author of the fiction Cherry Bomb, her brilliant memoir Woman Of Substances and her guidebook to understanding extreme recreational choices, Everything Harder Than Everyone Else.Find Jenny at https://jennyvalentish.com/ and listen to Spirit Levels here.Support the showFollow Mel Bampton for upcoming opportunities to support you to become a Master of Change:Instagram: @melbampton_Leave a review on Apple Podcast: 'Mel Bampton Presents...How Human'Subscribe to the website & get Mel's free 'Slaying Bad Habits Ebook'Catch some of Mel's presentations: The Uncensored Truth About OvariesMessage From The Bottle: Stories Of Sobriety
