California Sober: A Risky Proposition or a Viable Path?

Me personally, I think it's really dangerous. I don't think somebody can call themselves sober if they're still partaking in things, you know.
Is 'California Sober' a smart approach to sobriety or a slippery slope? In this episode of Canadian Sober Eh!, host Dougie Fresh dives into this controversial topic with guest Anthony. Together, they dissect the idea of using certain substances recreationally while claiming sobriety. Dougie Fresh shares his own journey, revealing how he managed to stay sober despite developing an allergy to alcohol.
The duo also explores the importance of having a strong support system and finding a home group that keeps you accountable. Anthony brings his expertise as a counselor to the table, discussing his methods for helping others combat addiction. They touch on the unique challenges faced by military personnel, the trauma of losing loved ones to addiction, and the crucial role spirituality plays in maintaining sobriety.
As the holiday season looms, they offer practical tips for staying sober during festive times and ways to honor those lost to addiction. This episode is a blend of personal stories and professional insights, making it both engaging and enlightening for anyone navigating the complexities of sobriety.
