Still Sober with John Rabon

149. 12 Step is not a Substitute for Therapy

Let's see if this episode gets more listens than last week. I feel like the word "poker" in the subject line disinterested some of you...or you still think you're good at and can't be told otherwise...who knows.

This episode I ramble about my week and then talk about the judgment that comes with being in recovery, and how I'm not anti-drug/anti-alcohol just because I'm sober.

148. You Are Not Great At Poker

I connect our society's problems with authenticity with a lie we told ourselves starting in 2003.

147. What Did We Learn?

Changes and lessons due to a year of pandemic and quarantine.

146. No Regrets

elliptical; self-checkout; social media; daydreaming.

145. California Sober

I talk about some random stuff and then discuss some criticism of Demi Lovato's approach to recovery.

144. Are We Powerless?

Cat issues; Fluff piece ruffles feathers (now THAT's a headline); "California Sober" and Powerlessness.

143. Life Coaches Aren't Great

Vaccine roll-out;  Woken from a nap; Promotional e-mail from a life coach.

142. Happy Introspective Nightmare Anniversary!

Underworld, the band not the movie series; vaccination ethics; "Real" hope vs "false" hope.

141. We Victimize Ourselves and It's Society's Fault

A dumb bumper sticker; Rage room; recovery in regards to taking responsibility for our actions vs self-victimization.

140. "Self-Care"

This episode just has me doubting the internet and what people think "self-care" means.
