Episode 125: Recovery News Roundup: Sober Companions, Xylazine Alert, Poly-Addiction Trends and the West Coast Monkster Mash!
It’s an extended version of Recovery in the News! We kick off the discussion with an look into the concept of sober companions and their growing importance in the journey towards sobriety, (if you have enough money). The conversation then shifts to a critical analysis of xylazine, a substance that's increasingly grabbing headlines for its impact on the recovery community. A deep dive into the worrying trend of poly-addiction follows, focusing particularly on the rising use of stimulants in conjunction with fentanyl and tranq. Finally, we engage in a thought-provoking discussion about a recent post in the r/alanon subreddit, which expresses a member's discomfort with the type of support alcoholics extend to each other in the r/stopdrinking subreddit.
Mike also gives a full report on the West Coast Monkster meetup and shares his thoughts on the City by the Bay.

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.
