Are You a Jerk in Recovery? Nat's New Exercise Routine and Sobriety Challenges

Why do I, in the back of my mind, feel like I need validation from the AA community like there's something in my head that got implanted, sort of like total recall.
Ever wondered why the recovery community seems to have its fair share of jerks? In this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages,' Mike and Nat dive into this very topic with their usual blend of humor and honesty. Nat opens up about his new exercise regimen and beauty routine, sparking a lively discussion on self-care in sobriety.
Meanwhile, Mike brings attention to a lesser-known side effect of sobriety called Orthoexia, cautioning listeners to be mindful of obsessive healthy eating habits. But the real conversation starter is their take on why some people in recovery come off as jerks. Is it a defense mechanism? A way to cope with the challenges of staying sober? Mike and Nat share their personal experiences and offer insights that will make you think twice about judging others in your recovery circle.
Adding a twist to the episode, they introduce a new segment called 'Close Calls,' where they recount near-disastrous moments from their own lives. From poor decisions that almost led to disaster to the lessons learned, this segment is both entertaining and eye-opening. As always, the episode wraps up with 'Recovery in the News,' highlighting Anthony Hopkins' impressive milestone of 45 years of sobriety.
And for a bit of fun, they discuss the latest UFO sightings in their 'Week in Weird' segment. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a mix of valuable insights and light-hearted banter. Tune in for an engaging and thought-provoking listen that tackles the complexities of sobriety with a touch of humor.
