RMA-Episode 29 Show Notes:
Smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em? Should cannabis be a part of your recovery program? Is medical marijuana all it’s cracked-up to be? What about CBD, kratom and Delta 8 THC? Mike and Nat break it down.
We also read an “It’s Your Story” segment from a listener which is sure to tug at your heartstrings.
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, (the NYT discovers Delta 8), and the Week in Weird, (bigfoot hunting licenses in Oklahoma), on a mighty high, bong rippin’ episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages

RMA-Episode 28 Show Notes:
This week the topic you’ve all been waiting for: “A**holes in Recovery! Why are there so many?” Do you know one? Are you one? Also, Nat discusses his diet and beauty regimen, and Mike cautions against a little discussed byproduct of sobriety, Orthoexia.
Is Nat having a mid-life crisis, or is it just a beautiful, fluffy pink cloud.
This week we introduce a new segment: “Close Calls!” How poor life choices almost ended in disaster, but didn’t. Hope you like it!
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, (Anthony Hopkins celebrates 45 years of sobriety), and the Week in Weird, (UFOs everywhere), on an in like a lion, out like a lamb, virgin daiquiri drinking episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages

RMA-Episode 27 Show Notes:
And we’re BACK. Mike and Nat dive into a discussion of Dr. Carl Hart’s new book Drug Use for Grown-Ups, and share their thoughts on Dr. Hart’s advocacy of recreational heroin use. Also, Mike tells a 1980s story about an unsuccessful attempt to return a vial of crack to a dealer and get his money back because he didn’t like the size of the rock. Hilarity ensues!
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, (MDMA to treat Alcohol Use Disorder?), and the Week in Weird, (Get Your Ass to Mars), on a cabin-fevered, well-rested episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

RMA-Episode 25 Show Notes:
This week we welcome Erin Moore back to the program to talk about alcohol marketing and treatment from a woman's perspective. What’s up with the “pinkening” of alcohol advertisements and mommy wine culture? Are women at more risk of alcohol-related health issues than men? Tune in to find out. Also, Nat recounts that time he got drunk at a superbowl party with his sponsor and the boys get through another week without drinking.
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, (The boss has been drinking Down by the river), and the Week in Weird (more mystery monoliths), on a freshly packed powdered episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

RMA-Episode 25 Show Notes:
Is stock investing gambling? Is it addictive behavior? What about lotto? It’s all about the dopamine. Also, remember that person that used to go out in a blizzard to score? Was that really you? So many questions, and boy, do we have answers!
Plus, the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, (Oregon spends money on unproven recovery programs), and the Week in Weird (how do you even say “Oumuamua”?), on an odds-on-favorite, meme stocked episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.
