Sober Companions, Xylazine Alert, Poly-Addiction Trends and the West Coast Monkster Mash!

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.

Fentanyl Fall-Drug Policy and More! An RMA News Special

RMA Episode 120: Fentanyl Fall-Drug Policy and More! An RMA News Special
Last week, a tragic incident occurred at a daycare center in New York, where a child died due to a suspected fentanyl overdose after being exposed to the drug concealed within the facility. Meanwhile, across the country in Oregon, the state grapples with the repercussions of passing Proposition 110. This legislation effectively decriminalized drugs, including fentanyl, resulting in an unforeseen surge in usage and overdoses. This raises a pivotal question: Should New York consider following Oregon's footsteps in decriminalizing drugs for personal use, or is it time for a more heavy-handed approach? Alternatively, could there be an unexplored middle ground warranting discussion? Tune in to find out!
