Recovery in the Middle Ages - Two Middle-Aged Suburban Dads Talk About Recovering From Addiction to Drugs & Alcohol.

Episode 127: Cult-ivating Sobriety- Reviewing Love Has Won and it’s Boozy Leader

In this week’s episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages, Mike and Nat do an in-depth review of the documentary "Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God," now streaming on Max. Our hosts explore the captivating and often troubling world of the Love Has Won cult, discussing the complex interplay of addiction, control, and charismatic leadership embodied by the group's leader, Amy Carlson.

The guys also engage in a taste test of a new non-alcoholic wine, sparking a broader conversation about the role of non-alcoholic beverages in recovery. They share their personal experiences and insights on the pros and cons of incorporating these options into a sober lifestyle.

As the holiday season approaches, the duo reflects on the challenges and stresses it brings, especially for those in recovery. They offer practical tips and coping strategies to navigate this hectic time, emphasizing the importance of self-care and community support.

Recovery in the News finds Mike and Nat weighing in on a recent study that challenges a growing belief in the recovery community: the use of marijuana in treating opioid addiction. They dissect the findings of this new study, discussing its implications and the importance of evidence-based approaches in recovery treatment.

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step, (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
