Ever wondered if someone who's battled alcoholism can ever safely drink again? In this episode of the Real Sobriety Podcast, host Robert McClellan dives headfirst into this controversial topic. With his signature blend of humor and sincerity, Robert shares his personal experiences and thoughts on whether it's possible for alcoholics in recovery to return to moderate drinking.

Throughout the episode, Robert remains clear that these are his views and experiences, not a one-size-fits-all solution. He also discusses the social pressures that can come with drinking and how to handle them.
