this was the final boss of Sobriety.
Imagine trying to stay sober during one of the most chaotic elections in recent history. Jack and Meredith, hosts of 'Sobriety Sucks', dive headfirst into this very challenge. They share their raw experiences from the nerve-wracking days of the 2020 Election, where uncertainty loomed large and the urge to drink was palpable. How did they cope when everyone around them seemed to be reaching for a drink?
You'll find out as they candidly discuss their struggles and triumphs in maintaining sobriety amid political turmoil. The conversation doesn't stop there. Jack and Meredith also explore how politics and sobriety intersect. They talk about identity politics, the media landscape post-Trump, and what Kamala Harris's role means for future narratives. They even draw parallels between Joe Biden's journey and their own paths to self-improvement. And if you think that’s all, think again.
The duo delves into the potential of psilocybin therapy for addiction and depression, offering a fresh perspective on how we view and treat these issues. They also touch on the recent decriminalization of drugs in Oregon, arguing that addiction is a healthcare issue that deserves more attention from the government. Amid all this serious talk, they remind us of the importance of finding joy even in chaotic times. Their reflections on collective joy provide a much-needed breath of fresh air.
Finally, they share their 'hot takes' on sobriety, emphasizing the need for continual reflection in recovery. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, insights, and honest conversations that anyone on a sobriety journey—or anyone who knows someone on one—will find both relatable and enlightening.
