You can't be semi-pregnant and you have to treat the real problem.
Imagine a world where sobriety isn't black and white but exists in shades of grey. In this episode of the Sober.Coffee podcast, hosts Mike R and Glenn H dive into the controversial concept of 'California sober'. This term describes individuals who abstain from alcohol and certain drugs but still indulge in substances like marijuana or other 'less harmful' alternatives. But is this really sobriety, or just another form of addiction masking itself as progress?
Mike and Glenn bring their candid perspectives to the table, dissecting the pros and cons of this trending lifestyle. They explore whether 'California sober' is a legitimate path to recovery or just a slippery slope that might lead back to full-blown addiction. The hosts don't shy away from tough questions: Can you be 'semi-sober'? Is harm reduction a viable strategy, or does it merely delay the inevitable need for complete abstinence?
Drawing from their own experiences with addiction and recovery, Mike and Glenn offer a nuanced discussion that goes beyond the surface. They compare this modern take on sobriety with traditional methods like Alcoholics Anonymous and therapy, emphasizing the importance of addressing the root causes of addiction rather than just swapping one substance for another. Listeners will find themselves pondering their own definitions of sobriety and what it means to truly recover.
This episode is perfect for anyone curious about alternative recovery paths or those who know someone experimenting with the 'California sober' lifestyle. It's a conversation that challenges conventional wisdom and invites listeners to think deeply about what it means to live a sober life.
