If you can use cannabis and function as a fully formed member of society and continue to grow through working the steps of your aa program, then sure go for it. If, on the other hand, you're getting high and sitting around all day in the sofa in a semi-vegetative state, avoiding any growth or meaningful human connections, then maybe your recovery is not going so well.
Can cannabis and sobriety coexist? In this episode of the Real Sobriety Podcast, host Robert McClellan tackles this contentious issue head-on. Robert shares his personal insights and experiences, making it clear that while some find relief in cannabis for pain or anxiety, others might use it as a crutch to avoid dealing with their emotions. He doesn't shy away from the complexities, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility in one's recovery journey.
The episode also highlights the sometimes harsh judgment from within AA groups towards those who choose to use cannabis. Robert reminds us that the only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking, and he encourages a more open-minded approach. This episode offers a raw and candid discussion that will resonate with anyone navigating the tricky waters of addiction recovery.
Whether you're curious about the role of cannabis in sobriety or seeking to understand different perspectives, this episode is a must-listen.
