Springtime Conversations: Balancing Moderation and Recovery
I think moderation in all things is probably, except alcohol and other addictive stuff.
Picture this: Jeff, Matt, and Chris back in action, shaking off the winter blues with a lively discussion that takes you on a rollercoaster ride through recovery and moderation. In this episode of 'Since Right Now', the trio dives into the chaotic world of spring break, where thousands of college students flood beaches, chasing the ultimate party. But they don't stop there. They also explore the vast middle ground where people strive to find balance between abstinence and moderation.
This isn’t just about wild parties; it’s about real-life challenges and choices in addiction recovery. One poignant moment in their conversation is the story of the founder of Moderation Management, who tragically took her own life after returning to AA. It’s a stark reminder of the complexities in the journey of recovery.
The hosts also shed light on the dangers of Krokodil, a drug even more destructive than meth, and discuss how something as simple as matcha tea might play a role in supporting addiction recovery. Jeff, Matt, and Chris bring their personal experiences to the table, sharing candid stories about their own battles with addiction, including smoking crack and learning to cut back. Their raw honesty and humor make for an engaging listen that’s both entertaining and deeply thought-provoking.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of hard truths and hopeful insights that resonate deeply. Tune in for a conversation that's as unpredictable as it is enlightening, and join the ongoing dialogue about finding moderation and managing recovery in a world that often feels anything but balanced.
