The Great Debate: Recover or Recovered? Is It Possible? Does It Matter? Find Out!

RMA-Episode 82 Show Notes:   And we’re back! Sort of. Mike is still wrestling with COVID but the show must go on and so it does, in all of its audio-challenged glory. This week, spring is in the air and weed is everywhere. We continue our discussion about cannabis and kombucha, psychedelics and shamans, and where any of that fits into a recovery program. For the main event we ask the perennial question that vexes 12-step meetings across the land, “Are we recovered, or recovering?” You don’t want to miss this one!   Also, a double (and topical), Monkster’s Speak, a nice review and a long life update on a budding, on the mend but still testing positive episode, of RMA.   Please remember to SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on your favorite platform to get the latest episode delivered right to your devices as soon as it’s released.

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.     https://www.aa.org/ https://www.na.org/meetingsearch/   Marijuana Anonymous (just in case):   This Naked Mind   Addiction Recovery Podcast
