Mike and Nat, the two middle-aged suburban dads from 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', are back with a lively episode that dives into Joe Miller's book, 'The US of AA: How the Twelve Steps Hijacked the Science of Alcoholism'. This episode isn't just about a book review; it's a deep conversation on how AA has influenced addiction treatment and health policy in America.
Mike and Nat bring their usual humour and personal anecdotes to the table, making serious topics like addiction and recovery more relatable. They also touch on the decline in drug deaths and ponder whether calorie labels on beer could actually make you cut back. Their banter about daily life, from juggling kids' activities to mishaps with treadmills, keeps things light and engaging.
