Silver Sobriety

March is Women's History Month! We honor the incredible women who have shaped the world of recovery—like Betty Ford, whose openness helped reduce the stigma around addiction and led to groundbreaking change. Today, alcohol use among older adults, particularly women, is rising. Studies show that nearly 12.3% of women over 50 in #Minnesota engage in binge drinking, mirroring a growing national trend. While 12.3% may not seem significant, alcohol consumption among adults - men and women 65 and older - has increased by 16% since 2002, with the number of drinkers in this age group rising by 80%. The need for awareness and support is greater than ever. #SilverSobriety is here to provide resources and community for older women facing alcohol addiction.

Did you know that alcohol consumption increases the risk of several cancers, including liver, colorectal, and breast cancer? Surprisingly, about 70% of Americans are unaware of this connection. At Silver Sobriety, we believe in empowering you with the resources to make informed decisions about your health. Reducing alcohol intake is one of the few things we can control when it comes to lowering cancer risk. Even small changes, like limiting drinks to special occasions or choosing non-alcoholic alternatives, can make a difference.
