do we've had a distress stops on screen for help find the office gets lost on data. we use science outtake talk channel. the alcohol is often associated with celebrations, relaxation, or having a complimentary beverage with our favorite dishes. a little bit can help you feel at ease in social settings, however, too much can destroy lives and test families a part. but when does it become too much? that is the question we will try to answer through the people who shared the experiences with us. welcome to the 77 percent. i am your host ok to english. another coming up in the show would take us to the base to kenya, to find out how alcohol is impacting the use that we need a young woman who bought addiction and to one and we check out the latex city of

tumbling. just a reminder that we're not trying to tell you how to drink, but we're hoping to pass on some learnings on being safe while enjoying a drink or to know a lot of people think they must drink to have a good time, which is why we see people drinking at parties or sports events. on the other hand, a growing trend on social media is promoting a healthier life. so with sun choosing to skip the drinks altogether, we caught up with some gen, sees on the night out in lagos, in accra. and here is what they had to say. you're ready i know that was in the when decisions that picking. i bought a,

all those people would think i've all, i know it's a included except for that info is this that they cannot afford. and i guess i didn't get to the to my home sunday, so far as i really liked. yes. yes. oh also. so when i come live close and kids. so i mean like alcohol to relax and then combine them. well i want to watch it. well, like when he meets brandon, so you don't really just much, you know, come on by, we picking up the whole thing and then get to the new one cuz yeah, i'll call you mind when i'm down. i think like 2 or 3 bucks, how long have certain phrases that i deal with on a level. so in order to relate to them and valuable when we meet, we think something,

something that's going to use our goal. i don't as you to boost by like it's like yours to our when we meet, when i meet research springs, as i do this is walter. i've always loved to god bless. i've a whole quite a range of opinions, but something alcohol is necessary, but others all the life of the party, even without it. but let's get serious for a moment and discuss a dock side of alcohol. alcoholism is a medical condition which occurs when you can function on a day to day basis without drinking. the alcohol industry has zeroed in on the african continent as a key area for all called market growth. even though alcohol abuse is already a big problem, africans drink on average up to 6 meters of pure alcohol per person, per yeah. that's less than european. so almost every 10 meters and americans who manage 8 inches. but if you take into contact more than half of the africans

abstain from, i'll call this means the average african drinker consumes. lucky 18 meters of alcohol. lawanda met a gas cuz you've gone to and let's talk to a home to some of the history. because on the continent, but how is the situation in kenya? my colleague, it is combining, took to the streets of motor and got in central kenya to find out how young people are affected by alcohol abuse and diction. the hello and welcome back to the 77 percent st debate this week. we are in moraga is central. can, you know, according to the national statistics, one in every 8th kenya's confused alcohol? not a very big number. but when you consider the 42 percent of those who drink are considered to be alcoholics, then question mark stuck to a rise. well wishing central kind of one of the most effective regions to try and find out why no society can do to address this. and i want to begin with to maria, do you mind sharing what your journey through addiction and recovery has been?

i used to tell myself, i did not have a drinking problem on s t. i never, i would call myself on alcoholic just for laughs just for guides. but in truth, i really did have a drinking problem. i wouldn't wake up and drink, but i would get a whole bottle excessive in 50 a male m zynga and finish it off by myself in my room. do you remember what time at what point you felt like you need to drink in excess of and probably when my father died, honestly, all my life. i think my father struggled to that dixon over the alcohol, basically. and it was never, it was an open secret. you know, his family never really spoke about it. he never spoke to us about it. when he died . i felt, oh, okay, uncle whole took him, let me so alcohol whose boss, you know, with huge mistakes and we'll come back to to that initial as well. but you were talking about recovery and you're literally just these into your recovery journey.

5050. how many days? 56, they all come back to nations. how are you feeling right now? i feel so good. because alcohol, do you see me something i've struggled with for like over? i think 15 years plus. yeah. and it's not the normal thinking, like i have a drink on friday and that's it for the weekend. and it's daily drinking from morning to the evening and that's advocating monday, sunday. so i can see like for now i am so happy i gotta wake up. so that i know what is happening here. i'm not a drug story any, i'm so glad you that. so right the i liked that and for you again, what was the point? that's which you felt. all right, this is it's, i need to turn my life around or something is not going to work out in the end. i have a son and i have not really been a part of his life due to the disease. now the question is, if it took me almost 11 years for me to come out of it,

but i'm so glad to know i couldn't do that for my son. yeah. okay. so on, i want to introduce you because you'll also a recovering addict. but beyond that, you also have a community based organization working very, very closely with communities here who are struggling with alcoholism. so based on what you've had on your own personal experience, how wide spread is a problem of alcohol abuse and addiction in kenya? in fact, you should be to get a national disaster because actually we are losing a lot of people to a whole isn't more than about drugs than ever. this is put together uh, addiction these assume vista. this is in that is the reason why we have not, we can say that we have this, this, this, but this takes right up some of the $300.00 plus signs. because like in a village is what they do when the person dies from a call is and nobody talks about it. so we don't really know how many people we are losing in a week. and you said that you lost quite a number of people in your family. is that because because of alcohol use? yeah. so let me just hear from the people who are in the audience, right,

because we are hearing, but parents and families being addicted might be a contributing factor. did any of you grew up with parents where you would say what dependent or alcoholics fuse? raise your hand, let's see. can you please tell me about your story? when i was growing up? always finding myself and when it was a kid like my father would come drunk. like, fight like be done, mama, you see. and and some things, for example, in my family we echoed more do you see we, i couldn't what do you like to create a word for the drum, the drum you see. so we find ourselves like for example, the 1st ones. in fact, if just once all of us we have done, god, does that include you? i would say if you say, but what we say is that we would like for sure what we would like to stop. all right, so let me ask stella question here. so that has been sent by the local government representative here. we called them mc members of the county assembly. and i'm just

wondering when you hear people speaking here, this is not a problem. one generation, it's 23, sometimes 4 generations deep. so we have to even begin to tackle it the only way we can tell quote it is if we start from the onset, you know, from the find the se team, this is hatch to the, to the leadership bit. one of the things that account assembly has been able to do that thing, particularly youth who are not actively involved in anything. so these young people are being taken given walk to do for 3 months and upbeat for the walk. and then these young people decide, is this something i would like to learn as a student that would make me feel more useful? well, on that it was like 4 tickets. what would they see? you know that they'll be for, despite that nothing to do with that, like let me let me hear from john because government is doing nothing. oh, it is doing thought that the not being, as far as alcohol is even, is going to send a vessel said m way is, is, is not meant to head it these mans to,

to help few and just to give them all because she likes, but don't to agree that that's a step in preventing people from being disillusioned and potentially falling into alcohol, abuse the court. these 2 to be done, these, these and hospitals and even can devolved the quotes of the code, the government being sold, establishing and have the additional incentives in every, in every hospital. so the woman that is sick and go there access medication, then take him to m m y s. okay? so you think they have it the wrong way around, but we are, we haven't spoken, you know, well, knowing what you know now and doing the podcast to try and help people who are dropping with the same thing. what do you think needs to be done more by us as a community by governments and other stakeholders? first and foremost, of course, is to talk about it. the more we speak about it, and the more we like we, as people in recovery are able to explain what we went through,

how we wish things that have been different. that's the very 1st step that we need to take. okay, of course, let me hear from because i know you have the solutions and do you already implementing that? i think it's close for collective responsibility. everybody has to come on board from the individual to the family, to the community, to the county government. national government rehabilitation doesn't have to be expensive to be effective. we can do it a bit of the village level, where we have people who are actually bringing this be together because what about some of the substance use this or the needs is love and acceptance? the moment we stop pushing them out, the what do we have accepted and we have the accepted in the drinking dance in the drug dance. that is we have the actually good. all right, so sure, well, we want to rough with you. if you had a chance to, you know, go back in time to when you 1st touched your 1st bottle. what would you tell that version of yourself and what would you tell anybody who might be watching,

who is struggling at any stage of addiction? i would tell myself, she please don't eventually it's because it's on funding against. i mean i got into it not wanting to be and i didn't get nobody wants to be and i did. it was all fun and games and to now that people list again please. now the concrete, but now i'm left because of i didn't know they can't create ticket, get out of it. you know, it just have to keep getting hired over and over again to numb the pain in the me. is that feeling? yeah, so tell them i on the please, please, please. she just keep both tracks. don't stick it in that fussy. okay. yeah. well, thank you very much for your thoughts and to all of you, we us a simple question at the beginning of this debate. what is the problem? evidently, a very complex one. and the answer to that problem, if you asked me a lot of compassion and grace, thank you for watching the . it's empowering to hear the voices of people who are managing to fight to

addiction, even if it is one day at a time. my personal takeaway is that families should talk more openly about alcohol . and that is exactly what we have in our next report. because julia had this talk with his uncle waffle golf. why did people like drinking alcohol junior? people wondering for many reasons, some others just likely to see. yeah, but it's like eating too many cooking too many and he was a good so it's like cookie. okay, exactly. imagine who it's totally new quick is that you does on the table and a fairly into the quote, the i never understood why mom never let me have as a media, cuz usually what? i never do that again. candlestick. it's quite a hand move. oh,

like we have move exactly junior. so what did we learn about cookie? that's it for keeping with the asian much too much continue to put him on stuff. but still my kid. that's right. bruce marx, b 7, know you're leaving because nobody wants to do this lesson does. he was tables and folding. ok. thank you, uncle waffle for the insightful talk. on a serious note though, alcohol abuse is one of the main contributors to crime, especially gender police, violence in south africa. in the johannesburg suburb of coordination, built schools a trying to cope the spirit of alcohol and drug abuse by hearing from people who struggled with these issues themselves. it's oppression of the in the face of a silent killer counselors from the p, a free life and g o. in pro young south africans like a medium

a boot or to avoid using drugs actually good offers the fact that my settings, my mothers of police, sidney from things. so that's when i became that i didn't feel like this. what they did to us home in this when i picked up my mistakes and be like, i wouldn't be thinking she's from car a nation vill in janice, but it's a tough neighborhood sandwich to between a growing and foremost settlement and gang territory. drug abuse is right here with some teams experimenting with alcohol and marijuana. but heart of drugs are increasingly common. meaning the cities, things to say they put the entity, it's had intervene, obviously the minute the weeks at the closing to become a high counsellor, eugene peterson is a former drug addict and is 5 years so. but with his p, a free life, colleagues, he works across the several schools and how take the province with the highest

number of drug rehab admissions in south africa, my 3 most the day. i know 3 of my 3 wants to die because i do not have a vision. our keeps up going to now it's what our kids are facing. and all that we say it's a still, he's not the back. he's most ne, you don't know what is you facing? you don't know of what the, how is he going? how easy do, how, how is it for you to spin up in these? no new. how is it for you? where use mother don't came inside my song. i love define hopelessness, unemployment hunger and games is a tool us for youngsters like that. but the conflict program has already helped to accumulate to meeting the and the issues in they comes down. my, you know, knows in speak go to people because i'm not actually took assistant. i told i just keep it in and it hurts me from the inside and sometimes like to, to 1000 my mom and hello. what's my issues are in, you know, tell it is, ma'am,

this and this is those you know, and in the, to insure like help out in tell me you see to this, into this like a nice the many teens admits they feel angry, but conde, or say why, while drugs may prove a temporary escape fee, a free life is on a mission to show even a brief high can come at the tremendous cost prevention. but also the access to rehabilitation is vital for anyone struggling with addiction, intense, and the support from family and drug rehabilitation centers offered elizabeth a way out of her addiction show. is her story, pay you? yes, you can. i ask you something really personal. have you ever tried drugs before? well, i'm show you're going to want to have this conversation. i have with someone in terms and yeah, well struggled with a drug addiction, but it's fine mentor

so i went to bam. you took um money, jonathan misquoted, and to see garrett makes statements, and so we smoke, mentor with that, don't be afraid, don't be a full use. this made me happy when you use this installment. they just use it for a number of reasons why people, me abuse drugs. any exposure to drugs. usually the younger a pressing is when they start using drugs. they're like heavy on to develop an addiction, but as much as that goes up in an environment, you as a lot of trauma, there's a lot of stress. well, that's an abuse. you might just include, you have tendency to construct how about your family, your friends did affect your relationship with them. they had a very button. up until now, a lot of the lot on us and me know what made you decide that you need additional treatment. but for me, on the way to end up with an untruth with those clothes,

i was thinking that maybe cool, let's do you know, as long as the lab say no more bad to go home. i took a loan, that's all i'm stuff i for the separation, everything the police. but what the situation is that no, i need to stop on my own land. let me put in the community. if we look there, is it so you, you finally go to the place where you know, wanted to their stuff to drunk or so? yes, i didn't want to use myself, but i fully know that somebody on my own i was using uncle and i was sticking hot down for almost one me a lot of the and also i for that at all for with i don't again, full of it was a way to it between desktop, this kind of issue i spoke though. so using alpha who is secret data may think sort of fine. like using anything. how long does it been?
