Concerts, Kids, and Sobriety: Mike and Nat's Real Talk

All things are possible with sobriety.
Picture this: you're at a concert, the music is electrifying, and everyone around you is lost in the haze of alcohol and drugs. But not you. This episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages' takes you into that very scenario with Mike and Nat, two suburban dads who are navigating sobriety in a world that often feels like it's working against them.
Broadcasting from the parking lot of a Yes concert, they dive into what it's like to stay sober when everyone else is anything but. But that's just the beginning. Ever worried about how to talk to your kids as they start encountering drugs? Mike and Nat tackle this head-on, sharing their own experiences and offering practical advice on how to keep your sanity intact during these challenging conversations.
They also explore the tricky terrain of navigating the holidays without losing your grip on sobriety. From dealing with family gatherings to avoiding the pitfalls of holiday stress, they've got tips that could make your festive season a little easier. And let's not forget about the importance of honesty in parenting. Should you use scare tactics, or is there a better way?
Mike and Nat don't shy away from these tough questions, providing a candid look at their own parenting strategies. They also touch on harm reduction and how staying disconnected from the constant barrage of news can actually help maintain sobriety. With their trademark blend of humor and hard-earned wisdom, Mike and Nat offer a raw and engaging perspective on the ups and downs of staying sober.
Whether you're juggling soccer games, PTA meetings, or just trying to make it through another day without picking up a drink, this episode offers both support and practical advice. Tune in for an honest conversation that feels like chatting with old friends who truly get what you're going through.
