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

RMA-Episode 27 Show Notes:
And we’re BACK. Mike and Nat dive into a discussion of Dr. Carl Hart’s new book Drug Use for Grown-Ups, and share their thoughts on Dr. Hart’s advocacy of recreational heroin use. Also, Mike tells a 1980s story about an unsuccessful attempt to return a vial of crack to a dealer and get his money back because he didn’t like the size of the rock. Hilarity ensues!
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, (MDMA to treat Alcohol Use Disorder?), and the Week in Weird, (Get Your Ass to Mars), on a cabin-fevered, well-rested episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

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 on the road to recovery.

RMA-Episode 25 Show Notes:
 
This week we welcome Erin Moore back to the program to talk about alcohol marketing and treatment from a woman's perspective. What’s up with the “pinkening” of alcohol advertisements and mommy wine culture? Are women at more risk of alcohol-related health issues than men? Tune in to find out. Also, Nat recounts that time he got drunk at a superbowl party with his sponsor and the boys get through another week without drinking.
 
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, (The boss has been drinking Down by the river), and the Week in Weird (more mystery monoliths), on a freshly packed powdered episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

RMA-Episode 25 Show Notes:
Is stock investing gambling? Is it addictive behavior? What about lotto? It’s all about the dopamine. Also, remember that person that used to go out in a blizzard to score? Was that really you? So many questions, and boy, do we have answers!
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, (Oregon spends money on unproven recovery programs), and the Week in Weird (how do you even say “Oumuamua”?), on an odds-on-favorite, meme stocked episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

RMA-Episode 23 Show Notes:
This Naked Mind Part II. Everything you thought you knew about alcohol is dead wrong. Mike and Nat break it down.
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News (Naltrexone for Meth?), and the Week in Weird (is the Loch Ness monster related to Mitch McConnell?) on a somewhat holy, cognitively biased, thoroughly manipulated episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

RMA-Episode 22 Show Notes:
Hi-ya Kids! This week we have a show that’s chock full of alt-recovery wisdom. We do an in-depth dive into Annie Grace’s This Naked Mind and look at how changing our thinking about alcohol and its place in society, (and in our heads), is the first step to lasting recovery.
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News (Casual heroin use?), and the Week in Weird on a mindful, post-holiday, dry January episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.
