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!

From Chaos to Clarity in Long-Term Sobriety: The Wizened One, Allan B, Joins Us!

RMA-Episode 116: Allan B-From Chaos to Clarity in Long-Term Sobriety
In this week’s episode of the "Recovery in the Middle Ages" Mike and Nat continue the Meet a Monkster theme and have a sit-down with Allan B, the Grand Wizard of  Monksterhaven. Allan's vivid anecdotes of coming of age in the mid-late 1970s paint a compelling narrative that bridges the gap between the chaotic punk rock scene on the Lower East Side and the quiet streets of his childhood in Kew Gardens Queens. At age 22 after a family-led intervention, Allan got sober and has stayed sober ever since.  How does a confirmed atheist make his way through the spirituality of the 12 steps? How do you stay sober for 40 years living in New York City, which has 8 million residents and one bar for every 700 people? Allan shares his approach and discusses how to navigate the ins and outs of recovery, whatever your program..

From Monkster to Master: Unraveling the Kratom Knot with Charlie X

RMA-Episode 115:  From Monkster to Master: Unraveling the Kratom Knot with Charlie X
In this week's episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages, hosts Mike and Nat interview Charlie X, a long-time participant on the Monkster Discord and host of the Kratom Sobriety Podcast. 
Charlie opens up about his journey towards recovery from alcohol use disorder, he discusses the challenges he faced along the way and how his experiences shaped his current perspective on recovery and sobriety. He then discusses how he used Kratom, casually for a while, then with increasing frequency until it became a problem. 
Now free of the clutches of Kratom addiction, Charlie started the Kratom Sobriety Podcast to help others struggling with addiction to Kratom, an herbal extract with a dubious reputation.
Remember, every recovery journey is unique, but you're not alone. Tune in every week (more or less), for another episode as we continue to explore life on the road to recovery.
