For me, it was just getting shit-faced any which way you can- and then trying to sleep it off. I'd call it dumpster sober- anything I could find in a dumpster that might make you high. My body was a dumpster.
Ever heard of 'California Sober'? It's a sobriety plan that mixes weed with moderate alcohol use, and it's been popping up in some pretty unexpected places—like weddings! In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. dives into the trend, sparked by a hilarious story from the San Francisco Chronicle. The idea is to encourage guests to skip the booze and opt for weed instead.
Nelson finds the concept amusing, not because he judges it, but because it reminds him of his own countless attempts at finding a middle ground in sobriety. From Pennsylvania sober to New York City sober, he's tried them all. He ultimately realized that for him, moderation just doesn’t cut it. The legalization of marijuana had him wondering if he could join the 'California Sober' club, but he knows deep down it's not his path. Nelson's advice?
Always 'play the tape all the way through' and think about where your choices might lead you. Tune in for a mix of humor and heartfelt reflection as Nelson navigates the murky waters of harm reduction and sobriety.
