Power Outages and Sobriety: Joakim Eriksson's Midnight Musings

Observing, I noticed this thing that, like god, is always spelled with a capital first letter. This would be really cool if I came up with it when I was Four Years Old.
What happens when the lights go out and you're left to navigate the darkness without a drink? Joakim Eriksson takes us through his sleepless night during a power outage in this episode of 'This Week in Sparkling Water'.

The episode isn't just about flickering lights; it's a raw look at how sobriety changes your approach to life's unexpected hurdles. Joakim's reflections stretch beyond his personal experience, touching on broader themes like socioeconomic disparities and the harsh realities faced by those living without reliable power.

Through it all, Joakim explores the tension between ambition and contentment, questioning whether survival sometimes is the best we can aim for. If you're looking for a candid, thought-provoking discussion on how sobriety intersects with everyday struggles, this episode offers plenty of food for thought.
