There is no argument out there, Tom, that abstinence-based is not the absolute best outcome.
Imagine trying to stay sober while still using marijuana. That's what the term 'California Sober' is all about, and it's a hot topic in the recovery community. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, hosts Tom Conrad and Ben dive into the complexities of this controversial approach to addiction recovery. Sparked by Demi Lovato's recent discussion on Joe Rogan's podcast, the idea of incorporating marijuana into one's sobriety has gained traction. But is it a viable option for everyone?
Tom and Ben don't think so. Drawing from their own experiences as former addicts and their work with countless clients, they share why they believe abstinence-based recovery is crucial. They discuss how marijuana, while not typically a gateway drug, could still pose risks and might not offer any real benefits in the long run. The hosts also touch on the financial motivations behind promoting California Sober programs and how these might impact the recovery community.
They stress the importance of education, open-mindedness, and making informed decisions tailored to each individual's unique journey. If you're curious about the potential pitfalls and complexities of mixing marijuana with sobriety, this episode offers valuable insights and food for thought.
