What happens when iconic TV shows tackle the complex issue of sobriety? In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara take a deep dive into how popular media is portraying addiction and recovery. They kick things off with the 'Sex and the City' reboot, 'And Just Like That...', focusing on Miranda's battle with alcohol. This storyline hits close to home for many, and Lisa and Tawny share their thoughts on its authenticity and impact.
They also celebrate the inclusion of Holly Whitaker’s book, 'Quit Like a Woman', as a beacon for those contemplating sobriety. But that's not all. The conversation shifts to 'Euphoria', particularly its Christmas Eve episode, which they praise as one of the most powerful depictions of addiction and recovery on screen. Lisa and Tawny discuss how these portrayals can influence viewers' perceptions and provide much-needed visibility for the recovery community. The episode isn't just about heavy topics, though.
In their Music Minute segment, they reminisce about 1998 classics from Madonna, Lauryn Hill, and Hole, reflecting on how music can be a source of comfort and nostalgia during tough times. Whether you're in recovery yourself or have a loved one who is, this episode offers a blend of insightful commentary, personal reflections, and a dash of rock 'n' roll spirit.
Tune in to hear Lisa and Tawny break down these media portrayals and explore what they mean for the broader conversation around sobriety.
