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 this is that picking up all the on those people would

think i fall. 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 awesome. 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 while i meet brandon, so you don't really get much, you know, come on by, we picking up a whole thing and then get to the new one cuz yeah, i think i'll call you mind when i'm done. i think like 2 or 3 bucks, how long have certain phrases that i deal with on level 2 in order to relate to them and valuable when we meet. we think something,

something that's going to use our goal, but don't is you to boost by like, it's like a retry when we meet. when i meet resize 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 year. that's less than european. so almost every 10 liters. and americans who manage 8 ages. but if you're taken to a contact more than half of africans abstain from alcohol,

this means the average african drinker consumes a what? the 18 meters of l cool. rwanda 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 in 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 do not have a drinking problem on this. see, i never, i would call my cellphone alcoholic just for love's just for guides. but interest, 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 late are you feeling like now? i feel so good because alcoholism is something of the struggle to be it 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. you know, it's daily drinking from morning to the evening and that certain monday, sunday. so i can see it like for now i am so happy, i gotta wake up so that i know what is happening here. i'm not drunk slowly any, i'm so glad that 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 that it is 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 and other 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 alcohol excuse, 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 down like fight like be done, mama, you see and and sometimes for example, in my family we echoed more do you see we, i couldn't. what do you agree with for the drug that drunk you see? so we find ourselves like for example, the 1st ones. in fact, the 1st one, all of us we have done got, does that include you? i would say 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. so that has been sent by the local government representative here. we called them mc as 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 tackle it is if we start from the onset, you know, from the find me the say team, this is hatch to the, to the leadership bit. one of the things that will come to 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? is that security that would make me feel more useful? well, on that it was like 4 take up. what would they see? you know that they will before, despite a they have nothing to do with that least. let me, let me hear from john because government is doing nothing. oh, it is doing the study not being, as far as alcohol easy is going to send a vessel said m way is, is, is not meant to head the i did it these mans to,

to help few. and just to give them a home because she likes, but don't you 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 in him 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. yes. 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 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 discovery 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 at the of the village level, where we have people who are actually bringing this 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 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'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 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, you 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 level golf. why did people like drinking alcohol junior? people wondering for many reasons, some think 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 if you, it's totally new quick is that you does on the table and funding to the cookie jar the i never understood why mommy and if you have as many confusing one, i never do that again. candlestick. it's called i have moved on. oh,

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 hold it up, but it's still my kid. that's right. bruce marx, b 7, know you're leaving because nobody wants to do this lesson does the more the tables and folding that. 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. 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 them. so that's when i became but 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 diseases like things to say they put and maybe it's had intervene or visit in the leaks at the closing to become a high. counsellor eugene peterson is a former drug addict and is 5 years so, but with his fee, a free life. colleagues, he works across several schools and how take the province with the highest number
