I know people that have gotten clean and sober off of their drug of choice... and have tried this 'medical marijuana' aspect of it... and... I don't know of anybody that was able to stay that way and maintain sobriety after going down that road. -Tom Conrad
Ever heard of 'California Sober'? It's a term that’s been buzzing around, especially after Demi Lovato mentioned it on Joe Rogan's podcast. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, hosts Tom Conrad and Ben dive into this controversial approach to recovery. The idea behind California Sober is to ditch hard drugs while still using marijuana. Sounds simple, right? But Tom and Ben, both former addicts, have some strong opinions based on their personal journeys and experiences.
They discuss whether this method can truly support long-term sobriety or if it’s just another trap. They also explore the role of medical professionals in guiding recovery and address common misconceptions about the 12-step program. With a blend of personal stories and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about alternative recovery paths. Tom and Ben aren’t here to judge but to share their insights and spark a thoughtful conversation.
Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives on making informed choices. Tune in and join the discussion about the real impact of California Sober on addiction recovery.
