Do we have to wait until we hide a few bottles of vodka in our bathroom cupboard to consider that we have a problem with alcohol? Everyone raises their elbow, but no one ever really agrees on the definition of alcoholism. Is it drinking every day? Drinking alone? Before 6 p.m.? Everyone has their own little personal boundary between the bon vivant and the drunk who needs to go to detox. By focusing like this on the deviance of social norms, we avoid thinking about what happens before the hell of addiction, in the gray area of our ordinary consumption: this ambient and totally banal alcoholism in which we soak daily with our very French religion of the aperitif, the farewell drink or the well-watered dinner. We live so immersed in it, everywhere, all the time, that we no longer think about what it does to all of us, collectively. Without waiting for Dry January to get down to thinking, Delphine Saltel read Jour Zéro, the logbook that the author Stéphanie Braquehais started keeping when she decided to stop drinking. Over the days of sobriety, she gradually managed to free herself from the automatic habits of consumption and alcoholic conviviality to look our aperitif in the face. Sobriety instructions: 1️⃣ Alcohol, we have a problem: • Alcohol, we have a problem Vivo... 2️⃣ Have you seen yourself when you haven't drunk: • Have you seen yourself when you haven't drunk? Vivo... Part 2 - Have you seen yourself when you haven't drunk? Resources: "Day Zero", Stéphanie Braquehais, Editions L'iconoclaste, 2021. --------------------------------------- ???? LET'S LIVE HAPPILY BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD ???? How to dress, exchange, travel, love in the 1920s? To cobble together a minimal morality in times of social, ecological and health crises, Delphine Saltel (What have they become?, Y'a deux écoles) explores our inconsistencies and possible solutions each month. Mixing personal questioning, domestic tribulations, reports and interviews with researchers and activists, this new podcast aims to alert, awaken and reassure about another possible world. #podcast #alcohol --------------------------------------- A creation by Delphine Saltel Text, voice, sound recording and editing: Delphine Saltel Production and mixing: Annabelle Brouard Intern: Juliette Cordemans Illustration: Raphaëlle Macaron Find it on: https://www.arteradio.com/son/6168215...
