California Sober: Balancing Moderation and Recovery

If you're struggling with the idea of man, you know, can I drink someday, can I smoke someday? And what I'm trying to tell you is, if you're new in recovery, even like for Your First Year or two, like it's your mind, your mindset isn't quite an asset just yet.
Ever heard of 'California Sober' and wondered if it's the right path for you? In this episode of 'The Sober Plug', host Connor Duffy dives into this intriguing concept, where people choose to abstain from hard drugs but still allow themselves to drink alcohol or use marijuana in moderation. Connor shares his thoughts on whether this approach can truly support a sustainable recovery journey. He stresses the importance of self-awareness, understanding personal triggers, and developing solid coping mechanisms.
Recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all process, and Connor emphasizes that the mindset needed for lasting sobriety might take time to cultivate. Through his own experiences and insights, he sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the delicate balance of maintaining sobriety while exploring moderation. If you're curious about different recovery strategies or seeking a nuanced perspective on addiction, this episode offers valuable food for thought.
