In this podcast, we explore a deeply significant issue within the PBCC: Alcohol dependency and addiction. Join our UK team as they share personal connections to this subject. Ross, a recovering addict, and Abi, the child of an addict, bring a unique perspective to our discussion. We'll dive into four essential questions that anyone in the PBCC should contemplate to assess their relationship with alcohol: Do you fear a life without alcohol? Have you struggled to control your alcohol consumption? Do you wonder if you can enjoy the PBCC lifestyle without alcohol? Have you used alcohol to cope with emotions and stress? These questions serve as a mirror to our own experiences, prompting self-reflection and awareness. We'll also shed light on the concerning levels of alcohol consumption that persist within the PBCC community, and the root causes of this. Join us as we unravel the impact of toxic levels of alcohol consumption within the PBCC, especially amongst the younger generation. We ask the question everyone is thinking...if Bruce Hales quit drinking and looked at his usage of alcohol, would others follow in his footsteps? With the PBCC community so locked in on their Man Of God, could he be the person to turn these horrible tragedies around?
