In this solo episode, I talk about a shocking conversation with an old friend whose relapse—and the way he was treated in the rooms—left me stunned. From “California sober” to being kicked out of a meeting, I unpack what’s changed in recovery culture, what hasn’t, and why honesty about sobriety still matters.
I also dive into the bigger picture: how our world has become more fluid, more confusing, and sometimes downright upside‑down. From AI writing papers to states struggling to count votes, to shifting social norms and the loss of basic respect, I explore what it means to stay grounded, sober, and spiritually awake in a chaotic time.
If you’ve ever questioned what sobriety really means today, felt discouraged by the behavior of others in recovery, or wondered how we hold onto truth in a world that keeps moving the goalposts, this episode will speak to you.
You are not alone. We’re all trudging this road to happy destiny together.
