Don't be a tailor. Burning down your house is no way to respond to social services with friends like Soberina, who needs enemies?
Ever wondered what addiction might look like through the lens of a fable? In this episode of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting', host JJ Chance spins a wild yarn about the three blind mice. These aren't your typical nursery rhyme characters; instead, they are mischievous tricksters who pretend to be blind orphans to score free cheese and alcohol. Their antics lead to all-night parties, mayhem in a tailor's house, and eventually, the involvement of social services.
The mice even go as far as selling the tailor's furniture to fund their addiction. It's a tale that's as chaotic as it is cautionary. But this isn't just a story about mischief and mayhem. JJ uses the mice's downfall—culminating in a tragic fire that leaves the tailor homeless—to underscore the harsh realities of addiction. He emphasizes the importance of seeking help and the transformative power of sobriety.
Through humor and raw honesty, JJ reminds listeners that while the journey to recovery is fraught with challenges, taking responsibility for one's actions is crucial. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about addiction recovery, this episode offers a unique and engaging perspective. With a mix of light-hearted storytelling and serious reflection, JJ Chance's podcast continues to provide solace and insight to those navigating the rocky road of addiction recovery.
