Today's Pod is in response to a NYT article entitled 'The New Sobriety' It highlights the new trend of being sober and talks about "mindful drinking" among other things. This article raised some questions from both of us. Questions and resentments and the show is us working through those. We sit squarely in the middle of huge cultural shifts and as 40 something guys in "traditional" recovery it is easy to dismiss what we don't fully understand. Ultimately we must concede and accept that ANY path to soberiety, recovery and a better way of life is ok by us. I don't think you'll see us at the sober Kundalini Disco but if life has taught us anything judgement and resentment only leads to drinking so live and let live. Thanks for listening!
