Ever wondered how modern media shapes our views on addiction? In this episode of 'Sobriety Sucks', hosts Meredith and Jack tackle the Sex and the City Reboot, focusing on its controversial portrayal of alcoholism. Forced by Meredith to watch the show, Jack dives into the storyline involving West Elm Che Diaz, a character who faces a public backlash after being outed as an alcoholic.
The duo unpacks the problematic nature of cancel culture, especially when it intersects with issues of addiction and recovery. They also touch on the importance of preserving the integrity of AA literature and teachings in a society that's quick to judge. Meredith and Jack don't hold back as they critique the reboot's character development, particularly Miranda's journey with alcohol, and address the show's attempts at progressive portrayals, including race issues.
With their usual blend of humor and honesty, they explore how media impacts our understanding of addiction and the real-life challenges faced by those in recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how pop culture influences societal views on addiction and mental health.
