the surprises i wish, and i am ready to dive into the hands of the gentleman who to you have you have a one dodge, so do me before you come to the spot and unexpected side to side. what 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 to, to face to kenya, to find out how alcohol isn't putting the use that we need

a young woman who bought addiction and to one and we check out the lights by city of tunnels. 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. you already know down apple, watch what's on the when the see, since i picked him out early on,

those people would think i for that not a included. i feel that if i was, is that they cannot afford and i get i didn't get to the, to my home sunday. so far as i know, like yes, yes. well, i also so when this is why i cause lab costs and kids. so i mean like alcohol. 1 rehab and then combine them. well, i wanna watch that, well, like when we trade in so you don't really get much, you know, come on by, we picking up. all right. and then get locked in very long cuz yeah, i think i'll call you mind when i'm gone. i think like 2 or 3 bucks, you know, i have certain phrases that i deal with on

a level 2. you know that to relate to them and data they will when we meet. we think something, something that's going to use alcohol. i don't issue to boost by like, it's like a retry when we minutes. when i meet research springs, as i do this is what this is about to go up quite a range of opinions, but something alcohol is necessary, but others of 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 year. that's less than you are, p, and so almost every 10 meters and americans who manage 8 inches. but if you take

into account that more than half of africans abstain from alcohol, this means the average african drinker consumes what the 18 meters of alcohol, lawanda metal gasket, uganda, and let's talk to a home to some of the heaviest, 3 guys on the continent. but how is the situation in kenya? a my click it is to money took to the streets of motor on, 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 street debate this week. we are in the wrong uh, in central ken, you know, according to the national statistics, one, every 8 kanyes consumed 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 while wishing central kind of one of the most affected regions to try and find out why no society can do to address this,

and i want to begin with 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 of $750.00, a male, m zynga and finish it all by myself in my room. do you remember what time at what point you felt like you need to drink in excess of probably when my father died honestly, all my life. i think my father's struggled to that dixon over the alcohol, basically. and it was never, it was that 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 in a short while. but true,

we're talking about recovery and you're literally just these into your recovery journey. 5050. how many days? 56000 bucks relations. how like, how are you feeling like now? i feel so good because alcoholism is something i've struggled with for like over. i think i the 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 it like for now i am so happy i can wake up so that i know what is happening here. i'm not drunk. so 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 truly 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 lives in more than about drugs and other diseases put together addiction these assume vista disease, and that is the reason why we not. we can say that we have this, this, this, but this picks 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, post 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 agree with for the drum, the drum you see. so we find ourselves like for example, the 1st once. in fact, if fussed once all of us we have done, god. 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 not actively involved in anything. so these young people are being taken given walk to do for 3 months and paid 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 was 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 the, is going to send a vessel said m way is, is,

is not meant to head it. these mans to, to help few, just to give them all how 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. this should be done. these, these at hospitals in, in, can, devolved the quotes of the code to govern individuals 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. yes. 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. 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 bit together. because what about some of the substance use this or the needs is love and acceptance? the moment we stop pushing them out to be, 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 cheryl, 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 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 against. 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 and to know that people list of dream please know 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 and the music ceiling. yeah. so tell them i on the please, please, please. she just keep both tracks. don't stick in that fussy. okay, 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 ask 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. what full gospel, why did people like drinking alcohol junior? people wondering for many reasons this i'm thinking others just like that is 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 quick is that you does on the table and a fairly into the computer the, i never understood why mom never let me have as americans. usually what?

i never do that again. candlestick. it's quite a hand move. 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 continue to hold it up, but still my kid, that's right. a boost must be 7 know you're leaving because nobody wants to do this lesson. does he want the tables and funding? thank you, uncle, offer for the insightful talk. on a serious note, the alcohol abuse is one of the main contributions to crime, especially gender based violence in south africa. in the janice folks up up of coordination built schools a trying to cope the spirit of alcohol and drug abuse by hearing from people who struggled with this issues themselves. 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 actually good offers the fact that my settings, my mothers of police, sidney from them. so that's when i became right in the field. they this what they did to us home in this when i picked up my mistakes and be like, i would 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 a drugs are increasingly common. meaning diseases like things they use like they put and it is have indian or visit in 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 be 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. i will keep that going to now it's what our kids are facing and all that we say it's, and i still use not be bodies. 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's mother don't cravy minutes? i my son i loud define hopelessness, unemployment hunger and games is a told us for youngsters like that. but the conflict program has already helped to accumulate, to maintain that. and the issues in life comes down a, you know, love and speak out to people because i'm not actually took with a fish that i told i just keep it in and it hurts me from the inside and sometimes
