You're listening to season six of the Recovery Happy Hour podcast.

Are you ready? Hold on to your headphones.

Let's do this. Hi everyone. Welcome to Recovery Happy Hour where we talk about life beyond the

bottle and what happens after we stop drinking. I'm your host Tricia and December's in Texas mean I get to dress for winter,

spring, summer, and fall in a single day every day this month. Thank you for joining me.

So I reposted some every day this month. Thank you for joining me.

So I reposted something on my Instagram this week that got a lot of attention

and I think it's a topic worth bringing up again.

This is something we've talked about a handful of times on the show in the last two and a half years.

If you have Instagram, you can click on the link in the show notes to see what I'm referencing,

or I'll just tell you about it right here. It's a split photo.

And the left side of the photo says,

typical stereotype of alcohol abuse

with a photo of a person's hand holding a can

inside of a brown paper bag. The right side of the photo says

what alcohol abuse really looks like. And there's a photo of a person's hand

holding a giant Yeti. If you don't know what a Yeti is, by the way, that's one of those

giant 32-ounce insulated travel mugs with the plastic lid on the top. They're designed to keep your

drink cold and you can carry them around with you all day.

First of all, I don't take credit for the photo.

I found it on the page of Michelle Smith.

You might know her on social media as Recovery is the new black and she'll be on the show next month.
