Challenging Modern Sobriety: A Deep Dive into Temperance and Recovery

In doing so they endanger all of us, America’s public health, and problem users.
Are today's calls for sobriety just a new form of temperance? In this thought-provoking episode of the LPP Podcast, Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads dive into the modern temperance movement and its surprising embrace by progressive circles. They question the effectiveness of harm reduction strategies and ponder whether sobriety has become a moral imperative rather than a personal choice.
Through lively discussions, they touch on the often-overlooked stories of public figures like Demi Lovato and Bob Weir, who offer different perspectives on recovery and substance use. Dr. Peele and Rhoads also explore the tension between the American and European approaches to alcohol and sobriety, offering a compelling argument for a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of these issues. They challenge the notion of powerlessness in recovery, advocating instead for the importance of purpose and community in overcoming addiction.
Whether you're curious about the intersection of sobriety and marijuana legalization or interested in how societal narratives shape our views on addiction, this episode promises to be both enlightening and challenging. Tune in for a fresh take on what it means to be sober in today's world.
