Disease or not? Media make-believe? Kombucha?

SHHRP Radio Valencia Episode 006!

The Sober Happy Hour | Radio Podcast! is back from Radio Valencia with episode 6.
Saturday night, the guys answered the age-old question: is addiction a disease?

Chaz and Mike talk recovery and addiction and how it's portrayed in the media, where's Robinson, you may ask? Well, he..er..um.. ok ok ok, part of this whole recovery thing means being honest... Robinson fell asleep! Mid-way through the Sober Happy Hour, it became the Sober Sleepy Hour and we even caught a few snoring moments out of him. It's hard staying up this late on a Saturday night, and even harder because we broadcast from the comfort of our own computer chairs. So cut him some slack, we'll make sure he makes up for it next Saturday night, Sunday morning at 12am (PDT)!

The first bit of the show gets into a deep and serious discussion about Tea. Kombucha tea to be precise, to drink, or not to drink? That was apparently the question.

So enjoy, have a few laughs at our expense, but be warned, there are no technical difficulties at the start of THIS episode! It's not that we're getting any better, it's that we just got a little smarter and didn't go on the air before we had it figured all out.

Rat Park. Picnic, or Panic?

Episode 005 of SHHRP on Radio Valencia!

Chaz, Mike and Robinson spend this episode talking about Rat Park. A conversation about isolation and the rarely considered consequences, and I'll effects, being shut out and alone can have on an addict. 

Rat Park, the nickname given to a study about the effects of isolation on rats, drives the conversation as we debate whether the rats would choose the drugs over companionship if they already had a habit of using drugs. 

We get some updates to stories and listener email.
