as all the world we make the difference w. all the world unpack, pulse out your info is in all the input w story. now on to the, i'll call 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 through to face to kenya to find out how alcohol is impacting the use

that the me a young woman who bought addiction and to one i'm gonna 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 fees on the night out in lagos and across. and here is what they had to say. your ready i know down i the worse than the when the seasons i picked him out early on. those

people would think i for that not included. i fear that if i was this that they cannot afford and i guess i didn't get to the to my home sunday. so far as i don't like, yes, yes. oh also. so when i come live close and kids. so i knew like alcohol. 1 relapse and then my know what was that? well, i wouldn't meet brandon so you don't really get much, you know, come on by we picking up a whole great and then get this yeah. locked in the new one cuz yeah, i'll call you mind when i'm gone. i think like 2 or 3 bucks. how long have certain phrases that i deal with on level

2. you know that to relate with them and valuable when we meet. we think something, something that's going to use alcohol, known as you'd lose by like this is likely retry 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 dark 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 year. that's less than you are p. and so almost every in liters. and americans who manage

8 ages. but if you take into account that more than half of africans abstained from alcohol, this means the average african jenko consumes lucky 18 meters of alcohol, dwanda medic, oscar uganda. and let's talk to a home to some of the history because on the continent. but how is the situation in kenya? my click edit combined, he 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 debate this week. we are in moraga in central can, you know, according to the national statistics, one, every 8 can you is 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 this. the i never, i would call myself on alcoholic just for laughs, just for gods. 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. i'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 or with 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, oklahoma took him, let me so alcohol whose boss, you know it's a huge mistake and we'll come back to to that initial as well. but true,

we're talking about recovery and your 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 i look forward using 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 or afraid and that's it for the weekend. you know, it's daily drinking from morning to the evening and that sort of didn't monday sunday, so i can see like for now i am so happy i can wake up so that i know what is happening here. i'm not drunk solely any. i'm so glad that you that so right, i like 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 alcoholism 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 also are recovering addicts. 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 and can you, in fact, you should be to get a national disaster. because actually we are losing a lot of people typical who lives in more than about drugs and other diseases put together. addiction is assume best of disease. and that is the reason why we not. we can say that we have this, this, this, but this fixed 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're 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 a host finding myself like we know, as i keep taking my fund, it would come down like fi like be done my, my you see and, and some things, for example, you know, if i'm a new vehicle and what do you see? we have good. what do you like to create? what for the drum, the drum you see. so we find ourselves like for example, the 1st ones. in fact, the 1st one, all of us we have done cut. does that include you out see if you say, but what we see is that we would like for sure what we would like to stop. all right, so let me ask stella question here. still has been sent by local governments 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 had 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 our contest employee has been able to do that thing, particularly youth who are most 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 with all that it was like for pick up like where they see. you know that they'll be for a desperate a. they have nothing to do with that. like let me let me hear from john because government is doing nothing. oh, it is doing thought 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 the audience. it these mans to, to help few. and just to give them all as you want. but don't to agree that that's a step in preventing people from being disillusioned and potentially falling into alcohol, abuse the court this to, to be done these, these and hospitals in him can, you devolved the quotes of the code, the government events of establishing any 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 really we haven't spoken, you know, well, knowing what you know now and doing the podcast to try and help people with 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. ok, of course, let me hear from on because i know you have the solutions and do you already implementing that? i think it costs 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 people 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 the accepted and we have the accepted in the drinking dance in the drug, vince, that is we have the actually good. all right, so sure, well we went through rough with you. if you had a chance to, you know, go back in time to when you 1st touched your 1st book to 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 begins. i mean, i got into it's not wanting to be and i didn't get nobody wants to be and i did. it was all fun and games until now. the people is to drink. we, it's now the concrete, but now i'm left to that but didn't know they can't keep to come get out of it. you know, it just have to keep getting high over and over again to numb the pain and means that feeling. yeah. so tell them i understand, 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 asked 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 all 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 think others just like the discipline. yeah. but it's like eating too many cooking, too many and he was a good so it's like cookie. okay, exactly. imagine if you, it's totally new click is that you does on the table and a fairly into the computer. the, i never want us to delay mom. never let me have. i mean,

i never do that again. candlestick discolored. i have moved on. oh, like when you can move exactly junior. so what did we learn about cooking that the for keeping with the asian much too much continued to most of the but still my kid . that's right. be smotts the 7 know you're leaving, because no one who wants to do that plus when does he want to tables in funding? that's 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 based 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. the it's a passionate plea 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 extra liquid office, fax that my settings, my mothers of police as me from them. so that's when i became that i didn't feel like this, what they did to us home in did. so when i picked up my mistakes and be like, i would be thinking she's from car a nation vill in japan is 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 diseases like things seems like they put it. it's has ended in obviously didn't, it didn't accept the closing to become a high counsellor. eugene peterson is a former drug addict and is 5 years so,

but with his fear free life, colleagues, he works across several schools in how tang the province with the highest number of drug rehab admissions in south africa. my 3 most the day. i know it's we, it might be the most to die because i do not have a vision. i will keep that going through. now it's what our kids are facing and all that we say it's, and i still use not be buddies. most ne, you don't know what the facing you don't know what the, how is he going? how is it do? how, how is it for you to spin up in these? no new. how is it for you? where he is mother, don't have you minutes. say my son, i love you, define hopelessness, unemployment hunger and gangs is a told us for youngsters like you'd be sick. but the conflict program has already helped to accumulate, to maintain that. and the issues in life comes down my you know, nose and speak out to people because i'm not actually took with a fish that i told i just could be seen. and it hurts me from the inside and sometimes like, it's a 1000 as my mom and hello, what me issues are in, you know,
